Ayrton – Argo 6 FX

Ayrton

Bringing you a sensation of freedom has always been one of Ayrton’s most sincere promises. For the first time in its history, Ayrton is launching a weather-sealed effects luminaire that offers as much creative potential indoors as outside – Argo 6 FX.

SKU: 019650 Categories: , , , ,

Description

This luminaire presents a minimalist design incorporating features for total protection against harsh weather with easier internal access. The anti-reflective treated glass window guarantees an optimal visual result and offers increased performance. The placement of pan & tilt motors in the base and head of the luminaire avoids the constraint of weatherproofing the yoke arms. A new submersible ventilation system in a non-waterproof compartment allows for optimal cooling.

The power and visual performance of Argo 6 FX is ensured by a proprietary optical system consisting of a cluster of 19 lenses in PMMA with a diameter of 280 mm, combined with 19 glass light guides with an output surface made of an optical micro structure.

Argo 6 FX can obtain a highly intense beam with a zoom ratio of 14:1 and a wide zoom range from 4° to 56°. Argo 6 FX is equipped with 19 LEDs of 40 Watts with RGB+W additive colour synthesis that can obtain light output of 13,000 lumens. Argo 6 FX is a versatile fully-equipped luminaire designed for a multitude of applications. It borrows from the main features of the WASH version. It offers continuous rotation of the pan and tilt movement I.R.S.TM. Argo 6 FX is equipped with a high-definition liquid effect system enhanced by a translucent honeycomb that can generate complex graphic effects LiquidEffectTM. It can be used alone or in combination with the main LED matrix. By allowing for more precision and exactness, Argo 6 FX adds a breath of creativity. Rediscover a new sense of pure freedom.
