Short lifespan of discharge lamps
Standard discharge light sources have an operating lifespan of around 2,000 hours, whereas the laser source boasts a lifespan of up to 12,000. Furthermore, discharge lamps must remain continuously lit, with dimming and dousers handled by mechanical shutters. In contrast, the laser source is electronically dimmed and doused, making the actual light source operating life significantly longer. Unlike discharge lamps, total fixture operating time does not equate to light source usage time.
eight and Operation Quietness
Eliminating discharge lamps reduces cooling requirements and removes the need for complex lamp ignition, strike, and ballast stabilization systems. As a result, the X-Beam IP operates much more quietly and maintains a smaller footprint than competing beam fixtures.
Electronic Dimming
The laser source features smooth electronic dimming, which substantially extends lifespan and reduces energy costs. Unlike traditional discharge lamps, which rely on mechanical shutters.
Hot-spot Free Optics
The laser source delivers a perfectly uniform, sharp beam free of hot spots or distortion. The micro-compact light source enables an extremely tight beam angle that barely expands across long throws. Additionally, discharge lamps cannot maintain crisp focus when both gobo and prism are engaged—an issue fully eliminated by the laser source.
Battery-powered Display
The fixture features a built-in battery backup, allowing operators to address and configure settings during prep and rigging without needing main power connected.
