The Miboxer D5-W72 is an LED wall washer with a power of 72 watts, specifically designed for outdoor lighting. The device enables the illumination of facades, walls or other vertical surfaces with high light output and variable colour temperature. It features RGB+CCT colour control, allowing both coloured light effects and variable colour temperature between 2700 and 6500 Kelvin. The total light output is 2800 lumens, with individual colour channels having different lumen values: Red (280 lm), Green (540 lm), Blue (150 lm), Cool White (1800 lm), and Warm White (1650 lm). The light efficiency is 60 lumens per watt, ensuring energy-efficient operation. The colour rendering index (CRI) is over 80, sufficient for natural colour representation. The device operates with an input voltage of AC 100 to 240 volts at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for use in various countries. The operating temperature ranges from -20 to +45 degrees Celsius, enabling use under different climatic conditions. The lifespan is 50,000 hours, indicating high reliability and durability.
Applications
The D5-W72 is particularly suitable for architectural outdoor lighting, such as accent lighting for buildings, facades, terraces or garden areas. The beam angles of 15° × 60° provide a targeted, narrow light distribution in the vertical direction, achieving even and focused illumination. The maximum lighting range exceeds 20 metres, making it suitable for larger outdoor installations. The protection class IP66 ensures high resistance against dust and water, including heavy splashing and rain, making it especially suitable for outdoor use. The housing is made of aluminium and is finished in silver, ensuring a robust and weather-resistant construction.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device supports DMX512 and RDM protocols, enabling precise control via an external dimmer or lighting control system. The dimming capability allows flexible adjustment of brightness and colour intensity. The colour temperature can be varied between Warm White (2700 K) and Cool White (6500 K), allowing the lighting mood to be adjusted. Colour control via RGB enables the creation of a wide range of colours, making individual lighting designs possible. The light output and colour rendering are suitable for professional applications, with CRI values over 80 ensuring sufficient colour accuracy. The power factor (PF) is over 0.9, indicating efficient power usage and low grid load.
Technology Explained Simply
The RGB+CCT technology enables the combination of coloured light effects (Red, Green, Blue) with variable colour temperature (CCT = Correlated Colour Temperature). This allows the device to be used for both coloured accents and neutral, white-toned lighting. DMX512 control is a standard in professional lighting technology and enables precise control of individual channels, allowing complex light shows or dynamic effects to be created. The RDM function (Remote Device Management) allows remote maintenance and configuration of the device, such as setting channel addresses or querying status information. The IP66 protection class means the device is dust-tight and protected against heavy splashing and rain, making it suitable for outdoor use. The aluminium housing ensures good heat dissipation, extending the lifespan of the LEDs.
Compatibility and Accessories
The D5-W72 can be combined with various accessories suitable for the installation and control of LED systems. These include outdoor cable connectors IP68 with 2- or 3-way terminals, enabling waterproof connections. Indoor cable connectors with various connection options (e.g. 3in-6out, 2in-4out) are also available. For DMX control, LED DMX cables in various lengths (0.5 m to 20 m) and XLR connectors (3-pin and 5-pin, male and female) are available. Additionally, waterproof connector boxes with 3 or 4 ports are available, enabling secure and weather-resistant cable connections. These components support flexible and secure installation of the wall washer in complex lighting systems.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done on a vertical surface, with the device dimensions (1020 × 64 × 62 mm) requiring secure fastening. Installation should be carried out so that the light direction is optimally aligned with the surface to be illuminated. Wiring is done via the designated connections, and the use of waterproof cable connectors is recommended to maintain the IP66 protection class. DMX control requires connection to a DMX controller or receiver, with channel addresses configured accordingly. Power supply is via mains (AC 100–240 V), and the use of an appropriate switch or fuse element is recommended.
Operational Advantages
Operation of the D5-W72 is characterised by its high light output, long lifespan and energy efficiency. The dimming capability and RGB+CCT function enable flexible use for different requirements, whether for decorative lighting or functional outdoor lighting. The IP66 protection class ensures high reliability outdoors, even under adverse weather conditions. The DMX512 and RDM support enables professional control, which can be integrated into complex lighting systems. The aluminium construction ensures long life through efficient cooling of the LEDs. The light efficiency of 60 lumens per watt reduces energy consumption and lowers operating costs. The lifespan of 50,000 hours minimises maintenance and replacement intervals, increasing operational reliability.
