Moving Light Fixture - What Is It Called???

[beam_1973]

I have been searching for the make/model of a moving light I have seen in recent times. Will try to describe it ... imagine what looks like (but isn't) four shorty PAR cans housed side-by-side in a housing approximately 4-5 feet long. Each "can" can independently pan on its own yoke (180 deg) inside the housing and the housing itself can tilt 180 deg in the opposite axis to the "can" tilt.

They are DMX controllable and each "can" throws quite a narrow beam of light with minimal spread.

I have attached a VERY basic sketch ... if it helps (and Aussies read this), the same fixtures are flown on trussing over the studio audience in the current Big Brother series (yes, ashamedly, I do watch from time to time).

Cheers

That sounds like some DJ light that uses pinspot lamps.

Look for the 4 head oscillator.

Don't know the fixture in particular, but the PAR lamp you described sounds like an ACL. ACL's are often mounted in groups of 4 as they are usually wired in series to come up to 115v as the lamps are 28v (in the US that is).

Definitely sounds like a DJ product and not something from the big guys like Martin or Vari-lite.

No, no no no. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's very new, and I thought it was a great idea.


Now, do I know what it's called or who makes it? Of course not. But I'll browse around, see what I cna find.

The first thing I thought of was the Studio Due CS-4, which is 4 ACL on a rack. Pan is independent, but they all tilt together. http://www.studiodue.com/products/products_cs.html

What do we win for the correct answer?

The Studio Due CS-4 looks brilliant. Never seen that before but totally cool. Wish I could can my hands on some of those for the next show. Are they in production yet do you know?

I believe it was in their booth at SIB in Rimini, Italy this past March.


Jezza, where are you located? I'll give you the number of your closest Studio Due dealer for availability-

Yes they are. Been out for over a year that I know of.

Poughkeepsie, NY, just an hour and half north of NYC. I've got a show comming up where I could see those fitting in perfectly. Let me know.
