LED Wash Bars, also known as LED Bars, Glow Tubes, Wash Panels, and LED Sticks, are ideal for evenly lighting wide areas such as walls, backdrops, ceilings, and stages. These versatile lighting tools are designed to “paint” surfaces with consistent color and smooth blends, making them perfect for DJs, weddings, live performances, theatrical productions, and architectural lighting applications.
Unlike circular PAR Lights, LED Bars have a rectangular or linear shape, allowing them to deliver broader horizontal coverage. They’re especially popular when uplighting walls or creating immersive environments where you want a seamless wash effect without the “columns of light” you typically get from pars.
When you need soft, even coverage across a large surface area, LED Bars offer the best solution. From short throw to medium throw applications, these fixtures provide wide-angle washes that are ideal for:
