The Showtec Compact Par 18 Q4 is a compact RGBW LED PAR fixture designed for powerful short-throw colour mixing in an indoor lighting setup. Fitted with 18x 7W RGBW LEDs, it provides a strong output from a relatively compact housing, making it a practical choice for users who need a bright colour wash fixture with straightforward control, professional connectivity and flexible mounting options.
The RGBW LED engine combines red, green, blue and white output, giving the fixture a broader colour range than a standard RGB PAR. The dedicated white LEDs help create cleaner mixed whites and softer tones, while the RGB colours provide saturated colour wash options for stage, venue and event lighting. With a total luminous flux of 4997 lumens and illuminance of 10000 lux at 2m, the Compact Par 18 Q4 delivers strong brightness for its size.
The fixture has a fixed 15° circular beam angle, giving it a relatively narrow output suitable for defined colour washes, uplighting, accent lighting and short-throw beam coverage. This tighter beam can be useful where the light needs to be directed more accurately rather than spread across a very wide area. It also allows multiple units to be used together for structured colour coverage across a stage, wall or performance area.
Control options include auto, DMX, manual and master/slave operation. This gives the fixture flexibility for both simple standalone use and full integration into a DMX-controlled lighting system. In DMX mode, the Compact Par 18 Q4 supports 4, 6 and 10 channel modes, allowing users to choose between efficient channel use or more detailed control over colour, dimming, strobe and program functions. RDM support is also included for compatible systems, helping with remote fixture management and configuration.
Manual operation is available using the onboard LCD display and controls. This allows users to set modes, colours and programs directly from the fixture without needing an external controller. Auto run and sound-controlled operation with built-in programs are also available, giving the unit practical standalone functionality for simpler setups or quick deployment.
The fixture includes 0–100% dimming and a 0–20Hz strobe function. This allows it to be used for static colour looks, smooth intensity changes, dynamic pulse effects and more energetic lighting sequences. The 12000Hz refresh rate also makes the fixture suitable for many environments where camera compatibility and reduced flicker are important considerations.
Power is connected via Power Pro input and output connectors, allowing compatible fixtures to be linked where the total power load is managed correctly. DMX connectivity is provided on both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR input and output connectors, making the Compact Par 18 Q4 easy to integrate into a wide range of existing lighting systems without needing unnecessary DMX adaptor changes.
The housing is made from die-cast aluminium and finished in black. Convection cooling means the fixture operates without a fan, which is useful where quieter operation is preferred. The unit is IP20 rated, so it is designed for indoor use only. A double bracket is included, allowing the fixture to be rigged using a suitable clamp or positioned directly on the floor for uplighting and floor-based effects.
The Showtec Compact Par 18 Q4 measures 300 x 131 x 313mm and weighs 5.2kg. A filter frame holder, filter frame and power cable are included, giving users the main accessories required for standard setup. The combination of compact size, strong RGBW output, DMX/RDM control, fanless cooling and flexible mounting makes it a capable LED PAR for indoor lighting systems.
For customers looking for a compact but powerful RGBW LED PAR, the Showtec Compact Par 18 Q4 provides a strong balance of output, control and practical installation features. With 18x 7W LEDs, a 15° beam angle, 4997 lumen output, 0–100% dimming, 20Hz strobe, 3-pin and 5-pin DMX connectivity, RDM support and a double bracket, it is a versatile fixture for professional colour wash and short-throw lighting applications.
