Showtec Compact Par 18 Tri MKII: colours and applications
The RGB Tri-LED modules of the Compact Par 18 Tri MKII consist of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) diodes that are placed close to each other. As a result, you can create up to 16.7 million colours. The colour blending happens directly at the source which creates a clear light beam with a solid colour. Because of the Tri-LED technology, Showtec was able to keep the casing small and compact, which makes it easy to place in even the tiniest corners. It has double mounting brackets so you can mount the armature on a wall, but you can also place it on the ground. This is ideal for uplighting purposes. Another option is to place it in the middle of your truss to create a perfect truss warmer.

Control and cooling of the LED spot
The back side of the Compact Par 18 Tri MKII is equipped with a DMX input and output. This means that you can use it in master/slave mode by connecting a maximum of 15 spots. The power supply can be daisy-chained to other spots in case there is only one power socket available. This means no more cables! Controlling via DMX happens via 3, 4 or even 9 channels. The casing is made of aluminium and is equipped with built-in cooling fins. This means that cooling occurs via the air by means of convection so noisy ventilators are no longer needed.
