JB-Lighting P18 MK2 Wash – A powerful showmaster with finesse

The JB-Lighting P18 MK2 Wash is the epitome of versatility, power and refinement. This 1,100-watt wash moving head with Fresnel lens is designed for impressive performances on large stages, in theatres and at live events. It offers greater light output, more possibilities and even quieter operation than its predecessor, all in a robust housing weighing just 30 kg.

With its 40,000 lumen light output, 13° to 65° zoom, powerful colour mixing and impressively quiet operation at just 28 dB(A), the P18 MK2 Wash is an excellent choice for professionals who refuse to compromise between power and precision.

Versatile lighting options

The optical performance of the JB-Lighting P18 MK2 Wash is top-class. The Fresnel lens produces a soft, even beam that can be perfectly adjusted thanks to the linear zoom. With the addition of a blade module – where each blade can rotate independently up to ±28°, and the entire module up to ±65° – light beams can be precisely shaped and defined.

The fixture also features a gobo wheel with six rotating gobos, specially tailored for wash applications. This enables surprisingly rich effects, even within the realm of soft, diffused light.

Thanks to two continuously adjustable frost filters (soft edge and flood frost), CMY colour mixing, linear CTO or CTB correction (depending on the version), and a colour wheel with seven colour correction filters, any desired atmosphere or colour effect can be effortlessly achieved.

Efficiency in silence

The P18 MK2 Wash features impressively quiet fans and advanced cooling technology, ensuring it remains whisper-quiet even under full load. This makes the fixture ideal for sound-sensitive environments such as theatres, studios and classical concert halls.

Maintenance is simple thanks to JB SLIDE-IN TECHNOLOGY: gobos and other parts can be replaced without tools. The robust housing with four ergonomic handles and smart internal design make installation and daily use very accessible.
