1. Technical Features

 Highly efficient RGB + White LEDs producing 2500 lumen output  Ideal for, colour-wash, uplighting or high lighting applications  Minimal maintenance during rental use – rugged and intuitive  Sealed to IP65 for indoor and exterior use  16-20h battery life exceeding 12h for most applications  High capacity battery 22Ah lasting more than 12h  Attractive full white with shades of off-white  Full recharge approximately 3.5 hours from flat (LiPo Technology)  Wireless DMX control with master/slave upgrade  DMX In/Out connections  WiFi remote control option using most WiFi enabled mobile devices with browser  Intuitive & simple operation – designed for repeated rental

1.1. LIGHT HEAD

 RGBW 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 2500lm matching market-leading mains-powered units  More than 4.2Bn colour shades, including hues of white, by using 4-colour channels  Ability to replicate warm & cool colour temperatures of white light  Standard 12° beam angle. Simple optic replacement with beam angles 30°, & 60° (medium &

wide angles). Others available 20°, 40°, 50°, 80° plus oval diffusers

 Fully adjustable head  Thermally designed for LED Lifespan > 50,000 hours (6 years if permanently switched on)

1.2. POWER SOURCE & CHARGING

 Two power options of mains or battery power  Built-in power supply unit. Input range 100-240VAC 50/60Hz  Industry stand ‘PowerCon’ connector for mains charging  Battery type 22Ah Lithium Polymer (LiPo)  Continuous battery operation on dropout of mains supply  Ability to operate the unit and charge battery simultaneously  Smart built-in charger to >95% in 4hrs. Voltage & current monitoring prevents over-charging  Battery compartment temperature monitored with automatic thermal cut-out  Deep discharge of battery monitored and prevented using smart relay control  Battery built-in protection circuit prevents over-discharge of the battery cells  Battery operating temperature capability of -20 to +50degC

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.  Optional full control over WiFi using 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 - 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

 Aluminium fabricated housing with black powdercoat finish.  Stable base unit for uneven surfaces  IP Rating 65 (Totally protected against dust and low pressure water jets from any direction)  W-DMX antenna built into chassis  Securing hole on top and bottom plates allow padlock to be inserted for security  Weight approx 8.5Kg.  Dimensions (mm) 250w x 255d x 230h

2. LIGHT HEAD

2.1. LIGHT HEAD

The light head is fully adjustable for up-lighting or spotlighting.

2.2. OPTICS

The unit is fitted as standard with a clear polycarbonate lens allowing 12 degree beam angle using 10 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.

White LEDs are selected as “neutral white” to maximise its use in combination with the Red, Green,

Blue. White can be made warmer by adding red and green combinations, or cooler by adding blue.

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.
