The MAC 250 Beam upgrade kit consists of a new front module with micro Fresnel lens and a set of six beam effect gobos/apertures. It converts any standard Martin Professional MAC 250 Wash into a MAC 250 Beam in a matter of minutes, bringing new life and value to existing MAC 250 Wash fixtures for very little cost, says the company.
The MAC 250 Beam's intense light output and tight beam make for a powerful mid air effect. The output is optimised via a glass cold light reflector.
A large diameter micro Fresnel lens produces a distinctive wide beam look. A long 3000 hour lamp life translates into a lower cost of ownership and a choice of lamp options provides added flexibility. The MAC 250 Beam projects a very narrow 3 to 8 degree beam for a real pencil effect, especially at smaller gobo apertures.
The MAC 250 Beam's CMY colour mixing system produces a broad spectrum of colours with smooth cross fades in between colours for spectacular mid air effects.
A gobo wheel with six static gobos/apertures plus open allows for wider or tighter beam effects as well as multiple beams or cone looks. A motorised frost filter can be employed for soft beam or wash type effects. A high resolution dimming system provides smooth dimming and fast strobe effects.
MAC 250 Beam components can be uninstalled and the fixture returned to a standard MAC 250 Wash configuration at any time.
