Ayrton Launches Mamba

	The gobos can be paired with an initial level of two palettes, each containing four individually rotating, indexable prisms that can be combined.

Ayrton unveils Mamba, a lighting concept equipped with a laser source twice as powerful as Cobra, the company says.

As the first laser-sourced IP65 fixture in Ayrton's 6 Series, Mamba boasts unmatched graphic capabilities, featuring 18 motors dedicated solely to effects creation. It offers a vast selection of 92 fixed and rotating metal gobos across two wheels, specifically designed to sculpt light in "beam" mode. Also included is an endlessly rotating ovoid animation wheel.

The gobos can be paired with an initial level of two palettes, each containing four individually rotating, indexable prisms that can be combined. These can then be linked to a second level of four combinable prisms situated at the front of the fixture, enabling the creation of a multitude of complex volumetric effects. Completing its graphic toolkit are two frost filters.

The product introduces a sophisticated color section, including a new high-definition gradient CMY mixing system and an instant-access multi-position wheel equipped with 15 complementary color filters, two multicolor filters, two CTP correctors, a progressive CTO, and three multicolor animation sections -- RGB, CMY, and RGB+CMY -- spread over two concentric circles.

Fitted with a 250mm front lens for greater performance, Mamba's proprietary 13-lens optical system offers a 21 x zoom range and an operating span from 0.7 to 15 degrees.

The product features an extreme focusing range that allows adjustment of the beam shape based on the operating distance.

With continuous pan and tilt rotation multiplying the possibilities for creating complex effects, this fixture becomes a universal tool capable of tackling any challenge in any condition, the company says.

Developed as a versatile fixture, the IP65-rated Mamba operates in both outdoors and indoors -- even in saline environments -- while maintaining full accessibility. It is equipped with a sun protection system and an integrated heating system that withstands temperatures as low as -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F), and weighs 41kg.
