The ThunderBall
™
is a high output effect light
that does not require any type of controller to operate.
Five rotating spheres with 61 lenses each produce a spectacular mirror ball like effect that criss-cross
continuously. This fixture is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit and to maximize exposure,
should be placed in the center of the dance area. Once powered, the spheres will immediately rotate.
Whether used in a mobile or permanent environment, you may find it useful to control this effect by
means of a relay system for remote switching or to go with DMX control, use the latest in DMX
compatible (Relay Pack), all available from CHAUVET.
A relay system will allow you to remotely trigger the ThunderBall
™
and any other non-dimmable
effect light from a switch panel. Make sure to use a cable of at least 25 feet to provide ample distance
between the control panel and the switch pack for most mobile lighting applications.
If you would prefer to control it directly from your DMX lighting console then we suggest a DMX
compatible (relay switch-pack). These devices are an extremely affordable solution to operating non-
DMX lighting effects remotely.
Duty Cycle (recommended)
For optimum fixture longevity, it is recommended that this fixture cycle On and Off every 15 minutes
due to the high temperature created while in use. For every 15 minute period that the fixture is used,
allow 15 minutes in the Off position to cool down.
