American DJ Dotz TPar System (ADJ Dots T Par System)
ADJ Dotz TPAR System Stage Lights
The American DJ Dotz TPar System (up to 10ft high) is an exciting all-in-one LED Wash system for mobile entertainers bands and stage lighting. This lighting system features a 4-head T-Bar light system each with one 30-Watt COB TRI LED (RGB), producing wide, saturated color washes of light with LEDs rated at an extremely long life of 50,000 hours. The system washes a very large area with its 90-degree beam angle. Or change the light output to a 25-degree beam with the included lens kit.
Great for any performer on-the-go, the ADJ Dotz TPar System is easy to set-up and take down. Plus, with low heat emitting LEDs performers stay cooler on stage. The system includes a tripod stand, a foot controller, RF remote control and a gig bags to help protect your equipment.
In addition to it’s built-in programs and the wireless foot controller, the Dotz TPar System may also be controlled by an external DMX Controller via it’s XLR In/Outs. User can also mount two smaller lighting fixtures on top of the T-bar and plug them in directly on the back of the bar.

These add a LOT of light! I was surprised when I turned them on for the first time, even more surprised when i removed the diffuser lens'. These will add a lot to any show. The added RF remote and Foot pedals will allow you to set up lights for your DJ so that THEY can control them if they feel like it.
I am really impressed with this is unit! The loving attention to detail is really exceptional, as it appears that every possible "wish list" item was included in the design. <br /> <br /> Stand: the stand is sturdy, with twist knobs that are permanently attached, so no losing them. Also, each section has a pin and lynch pin for double safety, all attached to the unit so you wont lose them. The telescoping sections of the stand will not fall into each other, so no turning the stand upside down and shaking it to try and get a section that has fallen in to come out! Finally, the bag is a simple "sock" style bag that fits with room to spare. As the zipper is only on the end of the bag, the actual zipper is much smaller then the style that run down the entire length of the bag, which means less moving parts (the zipper) to break. <br /> <br /> Pure win on the stand, and now I am hoping ADJ will make a line of stands with this design!<br /> <br /> Main Unit: lot's of well designed goodies here as well. To begin with, the unit is very bright. The included lens kits that allow 90 or 25 degree beam angles are something I hope other companies pick up on. The lens kits themselves also have a spring loaded screw that keeps the screw attached to the lens kit, which is a very nice touch - another touch I'd like to see become an industry standard. <br /> <br /> The four par cans themselves are very adjustable, as you can move the lights on the normal axis', as well as move the pars horizontally a few inches each way by loosening the screw fitting that holds it on the frame. The pars can be angled directly up as well, though part of the beam will be blocked by the unit itself - a minor issue.<br /> <br /> The pixel display is a nice touch and makes navigating the menu a bit easier. There are two standard electrical outlets on the unit that can be used in conjunction with the adjustable mounts on the top of the stand to mount two additional light on top of the unit. A sweet feature: the power to those outlets can be turned on/off by the included remote, so that you can control the on/off of any fixtures mounted to the top of the unit remotely or via DMX. A rather brilliant inclusion, and another design that should be copied by other companies. Note that the mounting brackets can be slid along a track running the entire top of the unit, making it extremely easy to adjust the mounts for the desired fixtures. More brilliance!<br /> <br /> Case: the included case for the main unit is a nice quality fitted soft case, with padding that forms to the light. One small gripe: you have to remove the mounting fixtures from the top of the unit to close the case, but it takes all of 10 seconds, so not a big deal. Does keep this from being an absolutely perfect design though, LOL <br /> <br /> What else? Oh yeah, a foot control. I haven't played with that yet, but it is a nice additional feature.<br /> <br /> In closing, I'm not sure how they could squeeze anything else into this amazing fixture, and at a price that is very cheap to have so many bells and whistles. I plan to pick up a second for large venues that need a lot of light sprayed around, or for the occasional gig lighting a band. Excellent fixture!<br /> <br />
Fast and easy to set up. I love the switched outlets on the bar. Great for on/off applications.
Provides outstanding coverage for small, medium, or large rooms. Very bright quality ( far exceeds a Chauvet Flex for example ) with a wide range of color variation. Intuitive electronic controls in the back, with a nice display that is easy to see in a lighted or dark room. On top of the light there is a track that provides two knobs to attach extra lights with ease and keep them safely in place while in use. The stand is heavy duty with surprising solid construction and provides a strong base support for this light. Sound active mode is awesome as it is very responsive to the music and changes it pattern multiple to keep the light show alive. The case provides the best protection possible and keeps the light safe even during ruff and aggressive transport. <br /> <br /> This is an invaluable tool as set up time is minimal, range of brightness is incredible, look and feel of the light is modern and professional. And the quality of the item is outstanding in both the included stand and functionality of the par system. <br /> <br />
Using 2 of these systems to front wash stages. Color mixing is very smooth. Great coverage with the lenses removed. Fast setup.
So far it's a great product! Super fast setup, which is the main reason I bought it. It's also pretty bright. The stand is way more solid than I thought it would be. Overall, great piece of equipment!
Just an awesome value
Bought two of these. One of the foot controllers did not work so I have to send it back but I love the product! When using the foot controller The sound active mode works on the mic in the foot controller instead of the unit which had me confused at first. Kpodj and adj were easy to talk to and help ful.
I like the how high you can set the light up so it is not directly pointed in your eyes.
I was skeptical at first. SO, I ordered one to check it out. Once I saw how well made and bright this unit is, I immediately ordered the second. Delivery from KPODJ was perfect. The product arrived exactly as promised. Totally pleased!
I am a huge fan of the dotz tpar system as a mobile DJ and rental company owner, its unfortunate that the price has gone up so much but KPO got me a good deal. I've been using this for years and I will say adj definitely had a few missteps they could have corrected. I nearly took a star off for these little pet peeves of mine. Firstly, the bag for the stand is useless, mine actually came ripped IN THE BOX so I threw it away. The case is well made but, you have to screw down the "bar" crew for storage which is an annoying extra step, they should've just moulded a little extra space for it. The sound active mode is a little finicky with +/- 1 sensitivity it will go from barely changing to strobing, they could've put the microphone in a better location, the IEC power cord is too short to reach the floor with the stand at full height and the pouch on the side of the case is also not big enough for the foot pedal and power cord at the same time. For a light that should be convenient it becomes a pain in the butt pretty fast.
I started lighting local bands about 15 years ago with 4 Chauvet 4 Bars. When they became undependable a few years later, I sold them (half price) and purchased 6 ADJ TPars. These are far superior, and have served me well for many years. These are now the primary lighting for our production company (my 6 + 3 more recently purchased), and our competitors have also gone with ADJ TPars. The Good: They are quite bright, with true color mixing from the COB LEDs. No color shadowing from multiple LEDs in each head (looking at the pod, you see yellow, not multiple green and red LEDs). Looks much more professional. Amazingly low power draw. Combined with Class D amplifiers, most bands draw less than 7 amps total. (It would be nice if they were even brighter, to be able to overpower the lighting at some venues that insist on lighting everybody on stage with green or magenta.) Beam and pods are extruded. They are much stronger, and better sealed against weather than the competition's sheet metal and plastic. They've been caught in Florida's pop up showers many times over the years with no water intrusion. The Bad: Stand cases and fixture cases were sewn with way too much thread tension, and self destructed (ripped seams) quickly. Stands are cheap and flexible. Mine stands are all "frankenstands" with replaced clutches, though we usually "fly" theTPars on trusses. Original TPars have undersized machined pins that are inserted inside the stands, secured with a safety pin through holes in the stand tube and the machined pin. This is secure, but very floppy. The new TPars use a clamping sleeve to mount on the stand, which is much more stable and secure. The DMX In and DMX Out sockets are upside down. This makes it difficult to unlock and remove the DMX In cable with the Power In cord plugged in. The power connector on a wireless receiver (Donner) is blocked by the DMX Out cable. The power in and power out connectors are IEC C13 and C14, which become unreliable with use, age, and the weight of attached cables. The provided nine foot power in cable is nice, but raising and lowering the light can easily result in no power to the fixture. Locking (Neutrik?) power connectors would be a vast improvement. Even with the price increases (mine were $399 each when new), the TPAR is a great investment (many repair parts are available if needed).
