"The Color Ray is a rugged LED color-changing fixture that works as well outdoors as inside," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Acclaim Lighting. "In fact, the '6' in its IP is the very highest rating given for protection against solid objects, which means it can't be penetrated by any type of particle, even very fine dust. The second digit '5' signifies that it can stand up to water coming at it from all directions. Plus, the weatherproof power/data cables and connectors integrated into the unit allow for quick and reliable installation."
In addition to being tough, the Color Ray provides extremely bright colours and gives users a lot of operational flexibility, says the company.
The fixture can be operated with a DMX-512 compatible controller, or it can be used as a stand-alone unit. For use in the latter mode, it comes equipped with 10 preset programs with speed and fade time selection. It features a 10° standard beam angle for maximum output.
Energy efficient, the Color Ray draws a 5-watt maximum power consumption at full RGB intensity giving you equivalent output to a 50W halogen lamp. In addition to being economical to run, the LEDs offer the advantage of long-life 50,000-hour operation, avoiding costly lamp replacements.
Housed in a die cast aluminum case with powder coating, the Color Ray can be operated in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C, and is CE certified.
An optional controller that can drive up to 20 Color Ray units, the Ray Power, is also available (sold separately).
