Minou Metal Halide Spotlight Range: 2000W HQI & 5000W THThe Minou Range of metal halide spotlights have been designed for use in professional applications that require high levels of lighting with daylight balance, long lamp life, and limited power consumption. Minou spotlights use a 2000W HQI®-TS lamp that produces an intense 5800°K colour temperature flux. The lamp has a lifetime of 4000 hours: approximately 8 times that of conventional metal-halide lamps. They use 50% less current than conventional tungsten lamps, which allows a thinner or longer supply cable between the spotlight and the ballast power pack. Use of a polished anodised aluminium reflector and a large diamter fresnel lens further contributes to the very high output of these fixtures. A precise adjustment mechanism enables the beam angle to be adjusted between 11° and 56° for maximum flexibility. The Minou 5 model can be used with either a 2000W HQI®-TS lamp or a 5000W tungsten halogen lamp without any modification to the spotlight. This feature significantly widens its application field and should be of great interest to rental companies. The compact Minou 2 has been specifically designed for applications where a daylight source only is required: indoor architectural lighting, for example. Each Minou spotlight is powered by a sturdy inductive ballast (PS1) mounted in a 3U 19" rack, which can easily be mounted in a flightcase. An electronic flicker-free ballast is available as an alternative option. The ballast is fitted with MCB protection and indicators for both voltage and current. Output for both the HQI and tungsten lamps is made via a Harting output connector. Each PS1 unit can optionally have an additional 32A female socket fitted, for the series connection of up to three ballasts. The spotlights are supplied with a 4-leaf rotatable barndoor, metal filter frame and safety grid. Adapter plates for fitting other accessories such as colour changers or mechanical dimmer shutters are also available. Options include a lamp operating time counter for the HQI lamp, and complete pole operation.
