Studio Force D Phosphor™
Studio Force D Phosphor™Studio Force D Phosphor™
Studio Force D Phosphor™ is a 5,600K CCT, daylight white fixture which utilises innovative LED
technologies found in the Studio Force™ range to provide an equivalent soft edge output to a fluorescent fixture - up to
8,210
lumens - developed specifically for use in TV, film and broadcast studio environments. Other features include an
extremely smooth uniform wash, extra soft beam, theatrical grade dimming, laboratory calibration to match Black Body
Locus. Designed for practicality, the unit is equipped with a manual control mode, colour touch screen interface, fanless,
studio & full modes for maximum control of the units and a range of optional accessories.
The Studio Force D Phosphor
Studio Force D PhosphorStudio Force D Phosphor
Studio Force D Phosphor features two light engines with 24 Blue LEDs each for a total of 48 high powered Blue LEDs.
The fixture is equipped with a built-in power supply unit. The fixture can operate as a standalone unit or controlled remotely
through the ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol. The control modes incorporate intensity control in remote DMX or
standalone manual operation.
The product's robust anodised aluminium extruded construction houses a discreet cable management system. Additional
protection is built around the lenses for a truly road proof fixture.
Note: HANDHELD COLOUR METERS
Handheld Colour Meters provide a very limited measuring range for LED fixtures, which results in inconsistent and unreliable
data.
All photometric values listed in this document are based on testing and measurements conducted by certified independent
laboratories with reference to the IES standards.

2.7 Thermal Performance
The Studio Force D Phosphor is built with an internal fan for internal cooling. The fixture output is automatically reduced
when internal temperature exceeds 75ºC for automatic protection. This happens on rare and extreme conditions when
ambient temperature is over 35ºC or the internal fans are blocked or damaged.
The airflow to and from the fan must not be constricted to maintain the maximum operating capacity of the Studio Force D
Phosphor fixtures.

5. Maintenance
With care, the Studio Force D Phosphor fixtures require little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be used in a
stage environment we recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust and cracked oil residue.
Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild detergent on a damp
cloth.
