PR Lighting's Phantom Is Now a RealityPR Lighting announces the release of Phantom, a new hybrid moving head first previewed at this year's Frankfurt Prolight + Sound show. An upgraded version of the XR 440 BWS, it contains a full designer's toolkit in a single unit. Utilizing an Osram Sirius HRI 440W discharge source combined with PR Lighting's advanced optical system, it delivers a solid beam, with 60-degree wide wash and an even varied spot. The fully featured luminaire brings a number of advantages. These include a fixed gobo wheel with18 fixed gobos plus open, a rotating gobo wheel with seven rotating gobos plus open; a prism wheel, with eight-facet prism and four-facet linear prism as well as an independent eight-facet prism; an independent frost filter; an interchangeable animation wheel, bi-directionally rotating at variable speeds. Other features include mechanical dimmer (0-100%); double shutter blades (0.3-25 fps); motorized linear focus and zoom. The Phantom also boasts variable beam angles: 0- to 2.8-degrees (in beam mode), 5- to 60-degrees (in spot mode), and 5- to 60-degrees in wash mode, all linearly adjustable. It offers pan 540-degrees (pan) and 270-degrees (tilt) with auto position correction; DMX512 control with 22 channels in short mode, 30 in standard mode, and 34 in extended mode. There is also a wireless control function. Of modular construction to facilitate easy maintenance, Phantom was one of the big successes of this year's Prolight + Sound -- and customers who pre-ordered are delighted to see that the fixture is now in full production and shipping.
