LEDJ Slimline 7Q5 RGBA
The LEDJ Slimline 7Q5 RGBA is a compact stage lighting fixture designed for versatile venue and event illumination. It utilises seven 5W quad-colour LEDs to produce a wide spectrum of light, ranging from saturated primary colours to soft, warm amber-infused hues.

Overview and Design
The LEDJ Slimline 7Q5 RGBA is a low-profile LED par can housed in a stylish white chassis. Its 'slimline' design is specifically engineered for portability and unobtrusive placement in various environments, such as wedding venues, galleries, and stages. The unit features a durable twin bracket system, which facilitates both floor-standing applications and traditional rigging on trussing or T-bars.
Light Engine and Colour Mixing
At the core of the 7Q5 are seven 5W quad-colour LEDs. Unlike traditional RGB fixtures, the inclusion of an Amber (A) diode allows for superior colour mixing capabilities. This configuration enables the creation of rich, warm tones and pastel shades that are often difficult to achieve with standard Red, Green, and Blue arrays. The result is a palette that ranges from deep saturated colours to subtle atmospheric washes.

Operation and Control
Users can operate the Slimline 7Q5 via several distinct modes to suit the technical requirements of an event:
- DMX Mode: Allows for precise control via a lighting console.
- Master/Slave: Enables multiple units to be synchronised for a unified light show.
- Sound Active: Utilises an internal microphone to change lights in time with music.
- Standalone: Features built-in programmes selectable via the four-button LED menu on the rear of the unit.
Additionally, the fixture is compatible with an optional infrared (IR) remote for wireless control, which is available separately.
Target Audience
The Slimline 7Q5 is particularly well-suited for mobile DJs, event planners, and small-to-medium-sized performance venues. The white housing makes it an aesthetically appropriate choice for weddings and corporate events where traditional black stage gear might be too conspicuous. Its price point and ease of use also make it accessible for educational institutions and community centres.
Comparison to Alternatives
When compared to alternative fixtures like the Cameo ROOT PAR 4 White, the LEDJ unit offers a similar aesthetic with its white housing but focuses on RGBA mixing rather than the RGBW (White) found in some competitors. While moving head options such as the Equinox Fusion 120Q or Stagg Headbanger XT offer motion, the Slimline 7Q5 provides a static, high-output wash that is more cost-effective for general room uplighting or stage washes. For users requiring complex wireless control, the Chauvet DJ FlareCON Air 2 can be integrated into broader DMX setups involving these fixtures.
