At the heart of Legend 250RX TM is the popular MSD 250-watt high intensity discharge lamp, widely used in upscale venues and production environments. A combination of interchangeable rotating gobos, dichroic colors, rotating prism and a shutter/dimmer douser offers the programmer wide latitude to create visually stimulating mid-air effects. The motorized focus mechanism assures image quality for presentations and stage backdrops. For the Picasso in you, the standard installed gobo set includes 3 glass gobo effects consisting of a multicolored “crush dichroic”, one single color dichroic gobo, a honeycomb textured glass effect and four specially selected metal gobos designed for beam shaping and movement while rotating. Five additional gobos are included -3 metal and 2 glass. The full range dimmer allows for smooth color, effect, and scene transitions by varying the intensity of the light output. The 3-facet prism is smooth and rotates at variable speeds, widening and adding individual effects to your gobo projection. Legend 250RX TM also features microstepping motors and 16-bit mirror resolution with speed control that meet stringent focus requirements.

In addition to its DMX control interface, Legend 250 RX TM also maintains the simple approach of Master/Slave operation with built in sound- to-light programs. These pre-programs are accessible via DMX and so is fixture reset. The (4-digit) LED readout allows the user to customize fixture settings such as the show mode (for stand-alone), pan/tilt inversion, reverse display, fixture hours, DMX address and reset fixture.
Rigging is a snap with its dedicated mounting system capable of adjustments to fit trussing of various widths. An eyebolt in the center allows attachment of a safety wire. Switchable 110/220 V MAP$1,299.99. www.chauvetlighting.com
