JB-Lighting Sparx 30: The undisputed champion in its class

The JB-Lighting Sparx 30 is an exceptionally powerful and versatile LED wash beam that easily positions itself as the top of the range among pixel washers. Equipped with no fewer than 61 RGBW LEDs, each rated at 40 watts, and the patented TwinZoom function, this fixture offers unprecedented creative freedom for lighting designers in every conceivable application. Whether for theatre, live events, television productions or trade fair applications: the Sparx 30 always delivers a spectacular light show with perfectly defined beams, rich colour gradients and whisper-quiet operation. With its robust housing, fast control response and phenomenal light output of up to 36,000 lumens, this is the ultimate choice for those who demand uncompromising performance.

TwinZoom and pixel precision

The Sparx 30 features innovative TwinZoom technology, allowing the inner and outer rings to be zoomed in separately, fully steplessly from 3° to 70°. This feature makes it possible to create complex beam shapes and unusual effects that were previously unachievable. Combined with individual pixel control, this results in vivid animations, multi-coloured beams and a visual depth that is impressive even when backlit.

Colour balance, dimming quality and creative effects

Thanks to the optimised optics, the Sparx 30’s colour palette is not only impressive in its variety but also extremely homogeneous and natural-looking. The fixture features separate macro, sparkle, glow and colour spread channels and supports precise adjustment of the base colour temperature in 100 Kelvin increments. Dimming is smooth and colour-accurate from 0–100%, with no visible steps. The electronic strobe offers both pulse and random effects, ideal for dynamic accents in live shows.

Ready for any stage

Weighing just 28.4 kg and with a compact design (H: 628 mm), the Sparx 30 is ideal for touring. The integrated heatpipe cooling ensures quiet operation (just 29 dB(A)), making it suitable for noise-sensitive applications such as television and classical concerts. DMX control is available both wired and wireless (via Lumen Radio CRMX TiMo), and there is support for Art-Net, sACN and Kling-Net. Those seeking additional functionality can opt for accessories such as a honeycomb filter or beamshape module for oval beams and extra control.
