Overview

Ion 280 3-in-1 is a versatile moving head that covers spot,
wash and beam functions.
Powered by a Sirius® HRI 280W lamp, it reaches a highlighted
luminosity in all its applications.

With a compact design, the unit has a 13 dichroic lters +
open and bidirectional rainbow eect color wheel. Regard-

ing gobos, this moving head has a 9 rotating indexable and
interchangeable gobo wheel and a 14 static gobo wheel,
each of them with gobo shaking. At the same time, the

xture comes with frost lter, a 6-facet rotating prism and

a zoom function that allows the user to choose between
beam, spot & wash mode with only one moving head. Ion
280 3-in-1 is not only versatile but also, as every equipment
in the ION Series, it achieves extremely fast movements
thanks to its 3-phase motor.
