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

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

motors for smooth and quiet pan and tilt operation.

temperature output, and shall be natural convection cooled
