The Cyclo Directional uses RGB technology to generate both coloured and white light of variable temperature. Technically this is achieved by combining dimmable T5 fluorescent lamps in the primary colours red (R), green (G) and blue (B) in a process known as additive colour mixing. The patented optical system produces a broad, even wash of ready-mixed colour. Three 54W T5 tubes create the high output necessary to cut through the high ambient light levels typically found in retail with each T5 tube electronically dimmable from 0-100%.
The Cyclo Directional track mount version clips directly into any standard type three-phase track, making it ideal for both new and existing displays. (It is compatible with all major manufacturers of track.) It is designed to be aimed and can be tilted +/- 60°. The surface mount version features a simple wall-mounting system, allowing for directional illumination of ceilings or walls. Both versions are self-contained with 10 standard programs covering most colour spectrums, as well as a master/slave option or full DMX control for larger installations.
A newly developed optical system provides seamless colour mixing within the main reflector, allowing the fixture to be positioned close to the illuminated object without causing an unwanted rainbow effect. No glare, no spill light, just smooth, even, and very bright colour. The Cyclo Directional requires almost zero maintenance thanks to a long-lasting lamp life (20,000 hrs). There are no mechanical parts and lamp changes are a breeze.
