A 15-channel DMX fixture, the Power Spot 250 combines two effects into one unit - a moving head spot effect and a laser. A 4.9mW red laser has been built into its optical system to give end-users greater versatility. As a spot effect alone, it offers an impressive range of features, including a rotating gobo wheel with 6 interchangeable indexable gobos (4 metal, one glass and one multi-coloured dichroic gobo) whilst a separate colour wheel contains 11 dichroic color filters (plus open). Users can create further colour combinations by overlaying the multi-colour dichroic gobo on the colour wheel. The Power Spot 250 also includes a 3-facet prism that can rotate in both directions at variable speeds. A macro-function feature allows rotating prism/rotating gobo combinations to be created. There's also a variable speed strobe effect that ranges from 1-10 flashes per second.
A 14-channel DMX moving head wash effect, the Power Wash 250 has been designed to gives users flexibility in creating colours and beams to their specifications. It features a CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) colour mixing system. Based on graduated cyan, magenta and yellow filters, this system allows users to create a continuous range of colours by varying the opacity of each filter from 0% to 100%. There are also six dichroic filters plus white, along with 3200K, 5600K and UV filters. Additionally, the Power Wash 250 features continuous, variable speed colour scrolling in both directions to produce a rainbow effect. The unit also gives users the ability to customize beam shape and intensity, carrying a 180° beam shaper that allows beams to be flattened and widened. Beams of any shape can be rotated by 90° and a frost filter on the same wheel can be used to soften the intensity of beams.
As moving head fixtures, both the Power Spot 250 and Power Wash 250 offer wide coverage and three-dimensional-like effects, which makes them ideal for professional use in larger venues. Both units have a pan movement range of 530° and tilt movement range of 280°, and feature 8/16-bit movement resolution. Each of the units also features a 4-digit LED display for controlling effects calibration, special functions setting and addressing.
