Warp is a compact and streamlined luminaire available in 12-30 degree and 22-50 degree models. Warp Ceramic spotlights utilise a Philips Ceramic ST 250 HR 250W discharge lamp and a dichroic glass reflector for low gate and beam temperature. Discharge source With a choice of integrated or external ballast, Warp Ceramic is designed for architectural and entertainment applications, with the extra bonus of extremely long lamp life. The Warp Ceramic is based on the Philips Ceramic ST 250 HR 250W discharge lamp, which produces the same light output as a 1000W tungsten halogen lamp – but for only 250W of power consumption. Remarkably, this discharge lamp also has the same colour temperature as a tungsten lamp (3200K), making it ideal for use in combination with existing tungsten halogen lighting sources. The highly efficient light source (over 88 lm/W) is ideal for TV studios, especially where profiling lights are required. In architectural applications the fixture will be invaluable thanks to its long lamp life of 4000 hours. The high Colour Rendition Index (CRI > 90) also makes the Warp Ceramic a valuable and versatile fixture for installations such as large museums, galleries and exhibition centres. The Ceramic lamp can be replaced by the Philips MSR HR lamp, thus allowing multi-functional use of the spotlight. Warp Ceramic is available with either an external or on-board ballast. Patented ring control However, the real innovation of the Warp spotlight is the revolutionary patented control of the luminaire shutters, focus & zoom settings. These functions are connected to ring controls around the lumainire's exterior, which are accessible no matter what angle the luminaire is rigged. The ring controls adjust the focus and zoom settings; each lens is connected to the system by substantial toothed drive belts and a ratchet mechanism. Adjustment is smooth and easy, but secure enough to prevent the lenses from slipping, even when the luminaire is rigged vertically. Each of the four shutters is adjusted by a pair of ring controls - the front ring control inserts the shutter into the light beam, and the rear ring control rotates the shutter through 360 degrees. There are no mechanical stops to inhibit the movement of any shutter blade, allowing virtually any shape to be created. Shutters are designed so that they operate without collision, and allow beam shaping cominations impossible with a traditional spotlight. Shutters and gobos can be continuously rotated, offering a wide range of potential effects to the operator. Simple operation The ring controls leave the exterior of the Warp spotlight with no protruding handles or levers, meaning that there are no controls to inhibit the movement of the luminaire relative to the trunion arm. The trunion can also be positioned at any point along the spotlight body, allowing each Warp to be perfectly balanced for any front-end accessory. No more cumbersome shutter controls also means that Warp does not suffer from buckled or lost shutters, and provides easier handling and storage. The compact body design allows more spotlights to be rigged per bar, and enables Warp to be used in very confined spaces. Warp's unique ring controls are toothed, which allows them to be accurately controlled. Scale markings on the rings allow for precise presetting of parameters prior to rigging, perfect for matching spotlights and for touring shows. Accessories There is a choice of accessory for Warp: either a double gobo holder (B size) or a single gobo holder complete with iris. The gobos can be rotated continuously through 360 degrees and, because of the indpendent ring controls, the gobo and shutters can be rotated in opposite directions. A combined DMX controlled mechanical dimmer and scroller accessory can easily be inserted into the front colour runners. Easy re-positioning of the trunion arm anywhere along the spotlight allows each Warp to remain perfectly balanced.
