An unusual alignment of the 4in1 LEDs accounts for this, according to the company, the key to the wide color palette being an unconventional assembly of the 18 multichip diodes. Besides RGB, 12 of the chips feature an additional white LED, while the remaining six are arranged as RGB and amber. Thanks to the interaction of these white and amber hues, the basic colors can gradually be reproduced warmer or colder. The design also allows a deep, luscious red - often a problem - to be created.
The amber LEDs also allow the creation of an orange which, says Steinigke, could not be created by other LED spot luminaires. "Although this orange might not be as powerful as the other colors, due to the restricted number of amber LEDs, it adds another shade of color to any composition."
The precision and power of the unit's colors, it adds, are the product of the 8 watts of each multichip diode. Via DMX the spot can be controlled with 3, 5, 7, or 8 channels. The classic multi-lens housing is available in black and silver.
