GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your selection of one of the most effective studio luminaires, the 2BL-55.This high
performance
luminaire should provide many years of low cost operation. The 2BL455 is designed
to maximize "throw" or "punch" by collimating the light while remaining "cool" and minimizing shadows.
Unwanted spill is controlled with optional barn doors, egg crates or honeycomb. Throw is doubled with
the reflectorized barn door. The fixture can accomodate gel frames and/or honeycombs and egg crates.
The 2BL4 is an excellent replacement for most scoops or soft lights using 25% of the energy.
All PrimeTime studio Lights are equipped with advanced reflector technology.
The 2BL455 is available in standard full power (non-dimming), Voltage dimming, analog signal dimming
(0-10 volts) and full DMX-512 discrete dimming (1 luminaire per channel). This degree of availability
provides for compatibility with most current control scenarios.
The 2BL455 is made of welded steel and powder coated in non-reflective black. Accessories are
made of aircraft alloy aluminum. Standard luminaires are equipped with detachable 10' long power
cords. Each 120 volt cord is equipped with Edison 3 prong connectors. Other voltage models are
shipped without plug unless specified. A fused power in and out recepticle is supplied for
120 volt models. Adjacent fixtures may be powered with this connector so long as the load does
not ecxceed 10 amps. (fig. 2) The switch controlls the power to the one fixture. Power to the luminaire
is indicated when the switch is lit.
The 2BL455, like most of the line, is mountable in horizontal or vertical orientation. Ordinary grip
devices allow stand mounting as well.
For instructions on dimming models see dimming addendum.
