❋
LITE automated lighting equipment is made in the U.S.A. The Emmy name is the
trademarked property of The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences.
Specifications
The unit shall be an integrally designed, remote controlled,
motorized wash luminaire. The head, yoke, and enclosure
housing are constructed of aluminum alloy and steel for
lightweight strength and durability. The front nose ring and
rear housing shall be hinged and latched, providing easy
access to the lamp and lens for replacement.
Each unit shall be equipped with an on-board microprocessor
to control all actions of the luminaire, providing diagnostic
and self-calibration functions, as well as internal test routines
and software update capabilities.
Each unit shall have three-color changers holding a minimum
of 16 frames of standard dichroic media (magenta, blue, and
amber), or with a pastel color mixing set as requested by the
specifier, providing a full spectrum of color cross-fades, with
a wide range in the saturated colors.
Each unit shall contain one diffuser mechanism holding a
minimum of 16 glass diffuser panels that intercept the beam
and provide continuous time variable diffusion range for each
of the available lenses. Unit shall utilize a drive system that
quiets all two-phase motors both when moving and static.
Unit shall utilize three-phase, ultra quiet stepper motors for
smooth and quiet pan and tilt operation.
Each unit shall use a 120VAC / 1200W, or a 230VAC /
1000W, tungsten halogen lamp, and contain an integral
yoke-mounted Insulated Gate Bi-Polar Transistor (IGBT)
dimmer matched with the voltage of the lamp. The IGBT
dimmer shall be the only source for dimming of the lamp and
offer short-circuit, overload, and thermal protection.
Each unit shall have a 3200-degree color temperature
output. Both the unit and the integral IGBT dimmer shall be
natural convection cooled with the added use of on-demand
micro-fan control.
Pastel (Dichroic Glass) Feature:
Pastel Color Feature:
As an option, the luminaire shall be
made available with “pastel” or lighter colored magenta and
blue color filters. The luminaire, fitted with pastel-colored
dichroic glass, shall maintain the electrical specifications of
the standard version of the VL550D Wash luminaire.
