The Aura's ground-breaking optical system combines two illumination systems in one luminaire - multicolor beam LEDs and a backlight LED lens array - to produce an all-new visual palette that, says Martin, takes the synthetic look out of LED wash lights for truly unique lighting design possibilities.
The fixture can be used as a powerful single-lens wash or to employ a separate set of individually controllable multicolor LEDs for radical to subtle eye-candy looks, allowing the designer to mix, match, and create new effects that take the unnatural LED look out of LED lighting. For the ultimate in easy-to-produce visuals, the Aura's built-in FX engine creates extraordinary effects fast.
An unrivalled 11-58° zoom offers fantastic beam effects with great definition, capable of angling wide or extremely tight for high intensity beam looks. A uniform field of light and excellent efficiency is maintained throughout the zoom range.
The MAC Aura delivers almost 4000 lumens of output in an ultra-compact 5.6 kg (12.3 lb) package for a performance to size ratio not found in comparable fixtures. And the Aura moves at a speed and precision that was once only associated with moving mirrors.
Offering a "wicked wash", the MAC Aura is a versatile wash light of the highest calibre. It features superior color mixing with a broad range of shades from two independent color systems. Color shades mix completely uniform from vibrant saturated colors across beautiful pastels to authentic warm and cool shades of white.
Thanks to an excellent cooling system and high optical efficiency, the MAC Aura is also extremely quiet for noise sensitive environments like TV and theatre, while super-low power consumption (1 amp) allows multiple fixtures to be daisy-chained on the same power line for an easier, faster and less expensive installation.
