Aluminum Par Light

LED Flat Par Lights

SHEHDS LED flat par lights and aluminum par can lights deliver RGBWA+UV color mixing and silent fanless operation for stage, DJ, and events. IP65 waterproof and wireless battery models available — 2-year warranty, US & EU stock.

Looking for aluminum-housed par lights built for the demands of touring, live events, and permanent installs? This collection focuses on aluminum alloy par can lights and LED flat par fixtures — built heavier, cooler-running, and more durable than standard plastic-body par lights.

For the full range of LED par lights including plastic-body and compact models, see our main PAR collection.

Why Aluminum Alloy Makes a Difference?

Every fixture in this collection features a solid aluminum alloy housing. Why does that matter for par lights?

  • Superior heat dissipation: Aluminum draws heat away from LEDs faster than plastic, extending LED lifespan and maintaining consistent brightness over long shows.
  • Built for transport: Aluminum bodies survive repeated loading, flight-casing, and daily rigging — plastic housings crack under the same conditions.
  • Professional aesthetic: Clean, rugged, matte finish — standard for touring and installed systems.
  • Lightweight yet strong: Easier for mobile DJs, installers, and stage crews to handle than steel-body alternatives.

How to Choose the Right Aluminum Par Light

LED Count & Color Configuration

  • 7-LED models (7×12W / 7×18W): compact, lightweight, ideal for mobile DJ rigs and small stage uplighting.
  • 18-LED models (18×12W / 18×18W): higher output, wider coverage, suited for larger stage fills and event perimeter lighting.
  • RGBW (4-in-1): clean color mixing for most stage and event applications.
  • RGBWA+UV (6-in-1): adds amber for warmer skin tones and UV for glow effects.
  • COB White: high-lumen single-color output for theatrical and architectural applications.

Zoom & Beam Angle
Fixed beam models (40°–47°): broad wash for stage fill and uplighting.
Zoom models (15°–45°): motorized beam control via DMX — useful when one fixture needs to serve multiple throw distances.

Control Mode

  • DMX512: full channel-by-channel programming for consoles, SoundSwitch, and show control.
  • Standalone / sound-active: built-in modes for controller-free use at smaller events.
  • Wireless / app control: select models support WiFi app control and battery operation for cordless placement.

Waterproofing

  • IP65 models: rated for outdoor events, festival stages, and all-weather installations.
  • Non-rated models: for indoor stage, studio, and fixed venue use.

For outdoor-rated fixtures across all categories, see our waterproof stage lights.

Where Are Aluminum Par Lights Used?

  • Live concerts: Intense stage wash, strobe effects, and precision backlighting. Aluminum housings stand up to the heat of long show runs.
  • Churches and houses of worship: Soft ambient tones for services or dramatic color transitions for performances. Silent fanless models required.
  • DJ rigs and nightclubs: Beat-synced DMX lighting, strobe effects, and color mixing. Compact 7-LED models fit smaller truss setups.
  • Outdoor events and festivals: IP65-rated aluminum par lights handle rain, dust, and direct sun — standard plastic housings cannot.
  • Theatrical stages: Smooth dimming curves, precise color control, and reliable rigging across long production runs.
  • Wedding and event uplighting: Wireless battery models allow cordless floor placement without cable runs — ideal for venue uplighting around pillars and walls.

Why Choose SHEHDS Par Can Lights?

  • 2-year warranty: Every fixture covered for parts and support — not just a 30-day return window.
  • US & EU warehouse stock: Ships domestically. No customs delays, no overseas lead time.
  • Aluminum alloy on every model: Not just the premium range — all fixtures in this collection use aluminum housings as standard.
  • RGBWA+UV as the professional baseline: Amber and UV channels included across most models — not locked to higher-priced SKUs.
  • Wireless battery models available: The SHEHDS wireless uplight par runs on internal battery with WiFi app control — cordless placement, no cable runs required.
  • Trusted by DJs, churches, and touring crews worldwide: "The build quality rivals fixtures that cost three or four times as much." — Steely Dane, professional lighting designer.

FAQs

What is the difference between a par can and a flat par light?

Both are PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) fixtures, but they have different form factors:Par can lights have a cylindrical body resembling the traditional PAR64 stage lantern. They're deeper in profile, often used in touring rigs and on-truss for their familiar form factor and robust housing.Flat par lights (LED flat par) have a slim, low-profile body with the LEDs mounted flush across the face. They're lighter, easier to pack, and more commonly used for floor-based uplighting, event decoration, and spaces where the fixture itself is visible to the audience.Both produce similar output at equivalent wattage. The choice is mainly form factor, mounting preference, and how visible the fixture will be in your setup.

What does DMX512 mean for par can lights?

DMX512 is the standard digital control protocol used to program and control stage lighting fixtures.Each DMX-compatible par light receives a unique address (1–512). Your lighting controller sends channel-by-channel instructions to that address: brightness, red level, green level, blue level, white level, amber, UV, strobe rate, and more — all independently adjustable.With DMX512 you can:Pre-program color cues timed to your performance or musicControl hundreds of fixtures from a single consoleRun synchronized color changes across your entire rig simultaneouslyUse SoundSwitch, grandMA, Resolume, or any standard DMX controllerWithout DMX, most par lights have standalone sound-active and auto-program modes — useful for smaller events without a dedicated lighting console.

Can LED par lights run on battery for wireless cordless uplighting?

Yes — select models in this collection include internal rechargeable batteries and WiFi/app control, designed specifically for cordless uplighting.SHEHDS wireless battery par lights (6×18W RGBAW+UV) offer:Internal rechargeable battery for cordless floor placementWiFi app control via smartphone — no DMX cable requiredFull RGBAW+UV color mixing with remote color selectionIdeal for wedding venue uplighting, event columns, and areas where cable runs aren't practicalBattery runtime varies by brightness level — typically 4–10 hours per charge at moderate output. For full-night events, bring spare charged units or run on mains power via the included power cable when accessible.

What color configuration is best for wedding and church PAR lighting?

RGBWA+UV (6-in-1) is the recommended choice for both applications:For weddings: The amber channel produces warm, flattering skin tones and golden candlelight effects that standard RGBW can't match. UV adds glow effects for reception dance floors. Full color mixing covers every wedding palette from blush to deep navy.For churches: Warm white (achieved by mixing RGB + Amber + White channels) creates a natural, inviting sanctuary atmosphere. The fixture can shift to full-color for contemporary worship performances and holiday productions without changing the fixture.RGBW (4-in-1) is a lower-cost option that covers most applications — but if skin tone accuracy and warm color quality matter for your use case, RGBWA+UV is worth the upgrade.

How many par can lights do I need for a stage?

A general starting point by stage size:Small stage / DJ booth (up to 3m wide): 4–6 par lights. Two front-of-house for performer lighting, 2–4 overhead or rear for stage wash.Mid-size stage (3–6m wide): 8–12 par lights. 4 front-of-house, 4–6 overhead stage fill, 2 side positions.Large stage (6m+): 12–20+ par lights, often supplemented with moving head wash lights for dynamic coverage.For venue uplighting (perimeter lighting, pillar uplighting), place fixtures every 2–3m around the room's perimeter. A standard 200m² venue typically requires 16–24 uplights for full coverage.

What is the difference between RGBW and RGBWA+UV in par lights?

Both use LED color mixing, but with different channel counts:RGBW (4-in-1): Red, Green, Blue, White. Produces a wide color range and clean white output. Standard for most stage and event applications.RGBWA+UV (6-in-1): Adds Amber and Ultraviolet to the four RGBW channels.Amber fills the gap between red and yellow in the color spectrum — critical for warm skin tones, firelight effects, and golden sunset colors that RGBW mixes look slightly unnatural producing.UV (365–395nm) produces a blacklight glow effect — activates UV-reactive fabrics, paint, and decor for club and party applications.If you're lighting people (performers, congregation, guests) where skin tone accuracy matters, RGBWA+UV produces noticeably warmer, more natural results. For general stage wash and color effects where skin tones aren't the priority, RGBW is sufficient.
