A.C. Americas, a North American distributor of world-class Lighting, Audio, and Video products, is pleased to introduce the PROLIGHTS HaluPix Duo, a cutting-edge dual-layer LED matrix panel that introduces a new level of innovation in lighting design for stages and television. This 50×50 cm panel seamlessly combines powerful, long-throw warm white beams with a high-density pixel surface, making it ideal for dynamic and creative productions.

The HaluPix Duo features two distinct light sources: 441 RGB+Warm White LEDs that act as a vibrant pixel surface, and 49 ultra-narrow Warm White LEDs that deliver focused beams. With pixel-level control, it creates stunning volumetric effects and delivers intense, high-resolution visuals for a cohesive and bold design aesthetic.

Its modular design and quick-lock connection system make the HaluPix Duo easy to assemble in both flat and curved configurations, opening up endless creative possibilities. Built with a lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy frame, it boasts an IP65 rating for reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Whether hung, ground-stacked, or mounted as a traditional lighting fixture, the panel adapts effortlessly to a variety of setups and simplifies logistics with features like single-tile replacement.

The HaluPix Duo integrates seamlessly into modern production environments, supporting all major lighting and pixel protocols, including DMX, RDM, sACN, Art-Net, and RDMnet. Its advanced interface allows intuitive control of its dual light sources, making it an indispensable tool for productions of all scales, from concerts and TV shows to corporate events and fashion catwalks.
