The Q-Spot series is designed for small- to medium-sized installations, as well as mobile applications, particularly those with low ceilings, where heat emissions may be a concern. Both fixtures are lightweight and feature long-life LED light sources, which mean less need to climb ladders for lamp changes and benefit in regard to energy efficiency. Additionally, it has a three-facet rotating prism, automatic pan/tilt correction and comes pre-programmed with built-in automated and sound-activated programs for a professional show without the work.
The fixtures differ with DMX control channels (11- or 14-channels for the Q-Spot 260-LED and 9- or 12-channels for the Q-Spot 160-LED) due to their gobo and colour wheels. The Q-Spot 260-LED comes with two gobo wheels: one with seven rotating slot-n-lock gobos plus open; the other wheel with nine fixed gobos plus open. It also includes an eight-position-plus-white colour wheel for a multitude of bright and vivid colours. The Q-Spot 160-LED comes with one rotating gobo wheel with seven slot-n-lock gobos plus open and a colour wheel with nine slots plus white. Both fixtures feature a convenient access hatch allowing easy, tool-free gobo changes.
