A quality 575-watt discharge lamp provides an intense wash even in darker colours. Light intensity is 29 foot-candles at 98-foot throw using the widest angle for projection. The motorised zoom allows further manipulation of the intensity and throw distance of light.
An IP rating of 54, fast internal cooling, a solid weatherproof metal casing, thermal switch protection and water resistant cable connectors ensure dependability even in rigourous weather conditions. A full, motorised dimmer further helps maintain the consistency and precise control of selected hues when the natural light changes.
Synchronisation is possible in DMX mode as well as in master/slave setting. Programmes can be customised via eight channels of DMX. Or the designer can access 32 built-in programmes with varying timed chase and trigger synchronous or contrasting operation of multiple units on stand alone mode.
Other components include a frosted lens diffuser and smooth stepper motors. A sturdy bracket facilitates use of the fixture in upright position. Tilt range is 126 degrees.
