Due to be launched at PLASA 2001, the innovative ChromaRange is a new state-of-the-art family of LED technology lighting fixtures designed and manufactured by Pulsar Light of Cambridge. Each fixture houses 80 powerful, high efficiency LEDs. These comprise of a mixture of Red, Green and Blue types to allow endless RGB colour mixing - making 16.7 million colours possible. The LEDs have a rated life of 25,000 hours at full power white, but this is greatly increased if the fixture is dimmed or producing coloured light as in normal use. The units can crossfade slowly from any colour to another or strobe if required, as they feature fast-response electronics. Alternative clip-in diffusers will be available for different beam angles and shapes allowing various effects to be achieved. The LED units boast a high light output, and the infinite colour palette ranging from pastels to deep intense hues, make the products suitable for entertainment, architectural and retail applications.

The introductory product range includes the ChromaLightTM Downlighter that can be ceiling or panel mounted and adjusted to various angles, and the ChromaDomeTM Spotlight which can be hung and adjusted to any angle. Both units are available in white as standard, but can be manufactured in any case colour to suit the demands of a particular installation colour scheme. The units can also be ordered housing all the same colour LEDs, which result in the light output being three times as powerful as the RGB model.

Completing the range, the ChromaZoneTM controller provides power and control for up to 12 ChromaRangeTM luminaires. It offers built in chases, various speeds and individually selectable colours when used in stand alone mode. For use with an external controller, the PMX/DMX digital input allows accessto each luminaire and the pre-programmed internal effects. Visit Pulsar at the PLASA Show on Stand G46.
