The ADJ ECO499 Eco UV Bar Plus IR is an energy-efficient, professional ultraviolet (UV) lighting fixture enhanced with infrared (IR) illumination capabilities, designed for creating dramatic atmospheric effects in entertainment venues, clubs, theatrical productions, and special events. The fixture utilizes a high-output array of long-wave UV LEDs (typically around 365-385nm) to excite fluorescent materials, paints, and fabrics, making them glow with an intense, vibrant luminosity. This UV effect is central to creating otherworldly environments, highlighting specific set pieces, or enhancing the visual impact of performers under blacklight conditions. The addition of integrated IR (infrared) LEDs expands its utility in environments using night vision or IR-sensitive cameras, allowing for covert lighting in security, film, or unique artistic applications without affecting the visible UV aesthetic.

Engineered for efficiency and durability, the ECO499 leverages LED technology to provide substantial UV output while consuming significantly less power and generating far less heat than traditional UV fluorescent or mercury vapor fixtures. This makes it safer for extended use near people and materials, and reduces cooling demands in enclosed spaces. The fixture is built into a robust, rectangular bar housing suitable for mounting on trusses, floors, or set pieces. It typically offers multiple control options, including DMX for integration into lighting consoles, sound-activated modes for automatic response to music, and standalone operation with built-in programs, providing flexibility for various technical setups and operator preferences.

Constructed with a polycarbonate or aluminum housing and a protective polycarbonate lens, the fixture is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent handling. Its lightweight design and multiple mounting points facilitate easy installation and positioning. The ADJ ECO499 Eco UV Bar Plus IR serves as a versatile and modern tool for lighting designers, offering the classic, powerful effect of UV blacklight with the added dimension of infrared capability, all in a reliable, cool-running, and energy-conscious package.
