Lighting’s new hybrid BWS (Beam Wash Spot) hybrid threatened the steal to the
show at the recent GET Show in
Guangzhou and Frankfurt Prolight+Sound,
two of the global production industry’s major shop
windows.
The Chinese manufacturer has wasted no time in capitalising on these
lightshow extravaganzas, and has followed up last year’s XR 330 BWS release
with the new XR 440 BWS, which is now shipping.
This
new range of high-output moving heads integrates three features in one unit,
and adopt PR patented
technology.
The XR 440 BWS houses a powerful Osram Sirius HRI 440W lamp, and features include an advanced colour index with CYM
linear colour mixing system, with macro; colour wheel with 12 colours and CTO
plus open; bi-directional rainbow effect at variable speeds; step/linear colour
change.
There
is a fixed gobo wheel with 13 fixed gobos plus open, bi-directionally
scrolling at variable speeds — plus a shake effect at variable speeds.
The fixture also contains a rotating gobo wheel, with nine
rotating gobos plus open, bi-directionally scrolling at variable speeds — plus
a shake effect at variable speeds. Either glass or metal gobos can be fitted.
The fixture contains two prisms — one 8-facet and one 16
facet — with bi-directional rotation at variable speeds, plus an optional
3-facet and gradient prisms.
Other features include frost filter, and motorized linearly
adjustable focus and zoom — as well as strobe (shutter speed 0-3-25fps). The
head movement offers 540° pan and 270° tilt.
