I'm working on a show called "The Foghorn" It is inside a lighthouse and we are looking for a practical rotating light fixture. we also own a few Robe Color Wash 575AT fixtures. In a production meeting about this, it was asked from the director who is unfamiliar to lighting technology, why can't the light make continuous rotations. I thought about it, and although I've not torn a moving yoke fixture apart entirely, so i don't know what physically stops it, I didn't have an answer for him. I thought maybe it was wires, then i thought it would be able to feed wires through the yoke. And since the fixture can already do a 540 degree rotation, can anyone explain whats stopping it, and or why it can't just continuously rotate? My last guess is a way of tracking the position, having a stop point, so you can tell where the fixture is in comparison to its home location.
Also, does anyone know of a fixture that CAN make continuous rotations?
Thanks
