The Exterior 1200's seamless CMY system blends the primary colours Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to achieve a full spectrum of luminous colours. These, variable in hue and saturation, can be programmed to shift smoothly from shade to shade. Further options are provided on a four-colour wheel.
It houses an efficient 1200W metal halide lamp capable of reaches of nine stories and above. Intensity control is 0-100% for easy balance of brightness allowing buildings and landscapes to respond intelligently to the availability of natural light.
Narrow and Medium models provide designers with a variable zoom and the possibility of varying beam angles from 7° to 19° or 12° to 29°. This offers the flexibility of refocussing on-site.
The Exterior 1200 is weatherproof rated at IP65/56 which promises reliable operation in harsh weather environments. An efficient cooling system means the luminaire is effective in even the hottest environments.
It has been made with low installation costs and freedom from maintenance in mind. A fully adjustable tilt angle allows the fixture to be oriented in any position. A convenient service hatch provides immediate front access for easy re-lamping, reducing service costs and securing the designer's aiming position. DMX controllable from an external controller or PC software, the Exterior 1200 can also operate via a built-in programme or master/slave relationship. The LCD display also allows diagnosis of factors such as lamp life, fan speed and temperature.
