The barndoors were conceived in the original design process of the fixture after consultation with lighting designers from around the world. The barndoors come fitted with a wide angle lens as standard, but can be fitted with the Fresnel or PC lenses that are supplied with the MAC 2000 Wash fixture. Quarter-turn screws allow users to easily remove the standard front lens and replace it with the barndoor module, complete with lens. No cables are needed as the module plugs directly into a socket already equipped on every MAC 2000 Wash fixture.
An individual DMX channel controls each of the barndoors' four blades. Additionally, each blade can fully close over the beam of the fixture. For further flexibility, an additional DMX channel gives rotational control over the entire module, allowing it to be rotated through 100 degrees. This gives the possibility to align both the small and large doors to any angle required.
