After being featured in some of the most important tours worldwide for many years, the XC-5 has become a “classic”. It was the first true LED alternative to traditional xenon-lamp strobes, but adding RGB color mixing. The high-performance rectangular heat sink of the XC-5 allows this unit to output an impressive performance with only W power consumption. It is a robust, state-of-the-art LED fixture that creates unique color effects never delivered before by a strobe.

LED Technology
The XC-5 mounts 1,080 high-power RGB LEDs to create a powerful wide-angle strobe effect. This lightweight luminaire delivers a large color palette in a flicker-free operation, and it is possible to produce numerous different flash combinations. The LEDs expected lifetime is 50,000 hours.

High-speed feedback
One of the reasons for XC-5 to be a great reference for lighting designers is the very good and fast feedback while using high rates and duration values. Unlike traditional strobes, the XC-5 does not need to decrease the output to minimum levels after an intense use of strobe effects.

DMX modes
The XC-5 can be operated in five different DMX modes. In the 7-channel legacy mode, the XC-5 uses intensity, duration and rate parameters, while an effect macro channel that takes priority over the duration parameter.

Thermal management
To achieve optimum performance of the LEDs at all times, this bright and accurate luminaire is optimized to manage heat impact through SGM’s unique thermal management technology. The technology consists of a uniquely designed body and heat sink, which ensures optimal cooling of the LED chips. Additionally, the special aluminum alloy and surface treatment ensures maximum heat dispersion while the fan-assisted cooling ensures optimal performance at any time and under any conditions (such as variable temperatures, limited airflows, confined installation spaces, etc.).
Like all SGM LED products, the XC-5 consists of SGM’s superior thermal management technology and tested under extreme hot and cold conditions, which ensures that the LEDs always operate within safe parameters. Learn more about SGM thermal management

Mounting options
The XC-5 can be rigged by using one or two easy-fit omega brackets with ¼ turn fasteners. It also includes a basic floor stand to increase stability, while allowing the users to access the omega locking points easily. Multiple XC-5 units can be rigged in optional BCC-2 and BCC-4 brackets.

Stage Lighting

Experience the SGM lighting technology 

SGM Light is specialized in stage lighting you can trust, by developing best in class stage luminaires with an optimal return on investment. Our technology focuses on flexibility, efficiency, and versatility, building tools for an industry where high quality, reliability, and innovation are some of the most important features. At SGM, we thrive to push the limits within the world of stage lighting to create the solutions that artists, lighting designers, rental companies and audiences are really looking for. 

 

Explore the different SGM luminaires for the entertainment industry 

Our extensive range of entertainment lighting include products such as moving heads, washes, strobes, blinders, flood lights, and effect lighting. This multi-purpose wide range of SGM luminaires is designed to tailor the lighting setup up to your needs, from high-output beams to high-CRI and high-TLCI fixtures. SGM Light is represented in many countries worldwide, and our products are used globally at all types of stage events and venues, including concerts, theatre productions, films, exhibitions, theme parks, and art installations.

Since 2010, all SGM LED products are powered by our proprietary TruColor™ algorithms, ensuring an homogeneous color mixing performance across the entire portfolio, while offering full compatibility between SGM’s RGB-based fixtures and filter-based White LED fixtures.
 

Our unique development process 

All SGM stage lights undergo rigorous testing and development, ensuring top-of-the-line LED fixtures that provide superior performance. We implement high quality standards for light output, color consistency, thermal management, and weatherproof resistance, to guarantee an extreme durability, excellent performance, and almost no maintenance. This way we can increase the ROI of SGM users, while offering a powerful all-weather lighting portfolio.

A great example of this is the SGM G-7 Spot LED Moving Head, with IP-66 rating and active dehumidification. It is extremely durable in all sorts of conditions, with electronics and optics protected by SGM’s exclusive DryTech™ system and a robust design. Our advanced technology ensures the interior of the fixture is preserved from external elements like water, dust, dirt, mud, sand, airborne pollution, extreme temperatures, and humidity, all of them very common at events or music festivals. Even though the G-7 Spot is perfect for touring and other outdoor events, these unique features also make it suitable for indoor installations and events, where long lifespan and low maintenance are must-haves.
 

Ultimate stage light testing

To be able to guarantee the durability and the best performance possible, all SGM stage lights are pushed to the limits in different ways. We lock up the fixtures in a salt chamber, we sandblast the lenses, we apply high-pressure washers over them, and we test them in very high and low temperatures. Sometimes, we even encase the fixtures in a block of ice before smashing it with a sledgehammer. It is literally a torture, but we are really focused on building fixtures that rental companies can rely on.

Products such as the SGM P-6 LED Wash or the SGM Q-8 DualSource™ LED Strobe Flood, are specifically designed and tested for continued rental use in all-weather environments. These rock-solid IP66 rated fixtures include an integrated dehumidifier, a sealed IP67 wet base, and our next-gen ThermalDrive™ cooling system. This is the result of 10+ years of experience in weatherproof and long-lasting LED technology.
