The BB1 is a compact and versatile instrument available in four beam widths ( 20°,35°,45° ) and the 10° narrow beam BB1

This is a single LED 

fi

xture, designed for outdoor and submersible use to 2m ( IP 68 ). It is an RDM device requiring just 15 

Volts DC,  at 3.6 amps. Full power is 30 Watts at 240 v.  For entertainment use there are a choice of power boxes, 
designed to facilitate quick cable hook up, with an on board user interface enabling quick parameter adjustments.

All the intelligence of the BB1 is in the head of the 

fi

xture.  for 

fi

xed instillation purposes any 15V 5A DC regulated power 

supply may be used to power the 

fi

xture in conjunction with data input that is DMX 512A.

The BB1 offers completely homogenized optics for the smoothest of output 

 

It's powerful custom RGB LED light engine 

has incredible colour mixing capabilities including the effortless sourcing of tungsten and daylight colour temperatures.The 
BB1 comes with a self contained RDM/DMX digital drive. It can be submerged and comes with a single cable 

fi

tted with a 

high quality 5-pin weatherproof connection

The BB1 can be used independently, e.g. as a truss or a set toner. It is 

fi

tted with a dual set of yokes for easy 

fl

oor 

mounting or for quick, tool free rigging onto a truss or metalwork in the air.

The BB1 

fi

xtures can be remotely addressed and con

fi

gured with industry standard RDM (remote device management) 

DMX, or run as a slave on standard USITT DMX.

i-Pix new Digital Drive technology is over 90% ef

fi

cient and delivers even smoother control of the light engines, right 

down to lowest intensities. True 16 bit control expands the colour range from millions to billions.

In entertainment the BB1 is driven by either a 4 or 6 way powerbox or powerbar.

The powerbox and powerbar remotely address the 

fi

xtures via RDM DMX or use the onboard user interface which provides 

both operating mode and address control.Combined power and data input ensures a weatherproof connection, so the power 
distro can be used outdoors in any orientation.A battery and data inlet connects to an optional battery and show DMX
