The Phenom combines traditional lighting features with lasers' crisplydefined effects and vivid colours. The Phenom also boasts intrinsic audiencescanning safety, DMX control, an integrated media server, fullcolour laser output, and a speedy moving head.
Intrinsic audience scanning safeguards are permanently calibrated by Lightwave International to ensure Phenoms are always audience safe at a minimum distance of 9.1m. No operator, hardware, or software error can defeat the intrinsic safety design once rigged. Any Phenom rigged 9.1m or more from the audience will always perform under the FDA CDRH regulated maximum permissible exposure.
The Phenom is the first moving head laser to implement intrinsic audience scanning safety, making it the only prograde lasereffect device that lighting designers can use without restriction after rigging, says the company. Because of Phenom's audience scanning features there is no need to set safety zones or limit effects. Beam, aerial, graphic, and lighting effects can be achieved from a single fixture.
What makes the Phenom moving head different is that all control is integrated as one DMX fixture. No ILDA control via computer, external hardware, or software is needed. All moving head and laser effect commands are operated as one easy to use fixture. The Phenom controls from any lighting designer's DMX console of choice.
Every Phenom has an integrated media server with thousands of effects for every performance. This library can be expanded indefinitely with customized effects by Lightwave International. The lamp source is created by German laserpowerhouse Arctos, the original pioneers of solidstate laser development. Arctos technology implements fullcolour solidstate technology in every Phenom. Millions of colours are possible.
Phenoms are designed with easy rigging in mind. The Phenom rigs, powers, and controls like the LED and arc lamp movingfixtures it replaces. Dual input and output connectors for powerCON and DMX allow minimal cabling and intrusion when implementing Phenom into an existing lighting rig.
