• Intuitive & simple operation – designed for repeated rental
• Optional polished stainless steel light shroud or custom colour
1.1. LIGHT HEAD
• RGB Colour Mixing Head using Cree and Seoul Semconductor high-brightness LED chips
• Strongly saturated colours, mixed using optic lenses with uniform colour rendering
• LED Lumen Output 1200lm with three brightness level/life option controls
• Over 16 million colour shades by mixing 3 colour RGB levels 0-255.
• Standard 12° beam angle. Simple optic replacement with beam angles 30°, & 60° (medium &
wide angles). Others available 20°, 40°, 50°, 80° plus oval diffusers
• Head swivels vertically +/- 45° to allow fine adjustment of beam direction
• Thermally designed for LED Lifespan > 50,000 hours (6 years if permanently switched on)
1.2. POWER SOURCE & CHARGING
• Battery power operation or charging using external power supply (PSU)

1.3. USER CONTROL
• Control from Wireless DMX (WDMX – Wireless Solutions), keypad or upgrade to WiFi interface
• Onboard control with LED displays visible in dark or bright sunlight
enabling control of all functions including internal colour and fade sequences
• Simple intuitive controls. Helpful for untrained staff.
• Set of pre-programmed colour & fade sequences.
• Upgradeable setup from any device with WiFi and web browser (eg mobile, iPhone, laptop or
PDA). (Note due to ‘Ad-Hoc’ limitations of certain mobiles this facility may be blocked)
• Password security protection of interfaces from unauthorised access
• Simple built-in diagnostic routines to improve turnaround time in the warehouse environment
1.4. WIRELESS INTERFACE
• Each light responds to wireless W-DMX commands as a slave
• Built-in W-DMX antenna within the head - connection of slave units to a lighting desk or a
POINT20/30 unit with Master capability
• Upgradeable W-DMX Master will control a set of slave lights as a stand-alone light network
• Upgrade to WiFi (802.11b/g) interface to set up individual lights
• WiFi access controller within the unit acts as a web server accessed with an individual IP address
• All wireless capabilities are internally integrated, not external add-ons
1.5. MECHANICAL

2. LIGHT HEAD
2.1. LIGHT HEAD
The light head may be tilted to any position vertically up to +/-45 degrees for up-lighting or
spotlighting. A Nylok nut on each side of the head bridle assembly allows the swivel tension to be
adjusted.
2.2. OPTICS
The unit is fitted as standard with a clear polycarbonate lens allowing 12 degree beam angle using 6
LED colour-mixing optics. Beam angles of 30° and 60° (medium and wide angle) are available as an
upgrade kit to the standard unit. The diffusers are extremely efficient with more than 90%
transmission efficiency.
Diffusers are built into the polycarbonate lens in front of the LED mixers allowing them to be
changed by removing the 4mm caphead screws around the outside. These screws must always be
replaced with similar type to prevent damage to the top plate. The screws must not be over-
tightened as this will damage the polycarbonate lens. When replacing lenses, care must be taken
to ensure dirt is removed from the gasket material and head to ensure water tightness.
Beyond the standard range of diffusers the following beam angles are available by special request:,
20°, 40 & 80°. Elliptical versions are also available (eg 30° x 5°).
2.3. LED COLOUR PERFORMANCE & LIFESPAN
Quality of colour is seen as a critical feature that has been built into this unit.
The LED range, the colours within the range and “binning” options have been selected very carefully
to provide possibly the best colour saturation available. This extends the extreme colour points
available on the colour triangle and therefore extends the number of possible colour combinations.
Update rate for the LED’s is a fast 488Hz. The resolution for colour change is 13bits providing a very
smooth dimming curve. This fast combination makes the units capable of lighting in TV work.
The head’s thermal design and correct current balancing through LED chains ensures that LED life
should exceed 50,000 hours. Significant effort has been made to ensure correct thermal design to
achieve this.
