Futurelight PLB-280 from Steinigke

Futurelight PLB-280 from Steinigke

The Futurelight PLB-280 from Steinigke is designed to serve as a spot, beam and wash light – three fixtures in one. The moving head is equipped with a 280W Osram Sirius discharge lamp for a combination of power and flexibility. In beam mode, it demonstrates an extremely narrow beam angle of 2 degrees, which can be increased to 10 degrees with the motorized focus. The built-in 8-fold prism multiplies the sharp image and arranges it in a circle, while the 6-fold prism creates a linear image. Adding more creative possibilities are the 14 gobos and 13 colors on the color wheel. Using the moving head as spot, the zoom makes it possible to adjust the beam angle between 5.5 degrees and 23 degrees. In addition to the functions mentioned above, a gobo wheel with 9 rotating gobos can now be used. Gobos can be changed easily and quickly.
