UK - Chauvet's new Legend 250 Zoom is a sophisticated, 16-channel moving light that effectively projects patterns, logos, glass gobo images, morphing gobos and even soft light. Multiple gobos, colors, prism and effects can be layered. Features include: linear motorized zoom (15° to 22°), variable iris, variable strobe, motorized focus, mechanical dimming, 8-bit or 6-bit resolution, automatic pan and tilt correction, independent frost, micro-stepping motors, coated optics, two colour wheels, one effect wheel and two gobo wheels.

Movement range is 540° of pan by 280° of tilt. Optical encoders at the base of the head automatically correct the fixture's position as necessary. Each colour wheels features five colours plus white. The effect wheel has two colours, two CT filters, two glass effects, a UV filter and one open position. One gobo wheel features nine interchangeable gobos. The second gobo wheel features seven interchangeable, fully rotating and indexing gobos plus open. All wheels can be superimposed.

On-board programming eliminates the need for a console in certain applications such as simple trade show lighting or merchandising and display. Nine steps can be saved in one program. Lenses have an anti-reflective coating, which improves image quality and minimizes leaks. A new and specialized glass reflector for the lamp harnesses the focal point, which results in an extremely high light output. The 3,000-hour MSD250W lamp can be turned on and off remotely from a console.

An internal thermal sensor automatically adjusts the fan speed based on internal cooling requirement, allowing quieter operation. A multi-tap transformer allows selection of the following voltage operating range: 110V, 115V, 208 V, 230V, 240 V at either 50Hz or 60Hz.
