3 Features
The Octagon Theater CW / WW is suitable for use on theatre stages and in festival halls, as well
as for live and touring. It offers a power-saving alternative to halogen spotlights.
Special features of the device:
n18 × high power LEDs, cold white (approx. 6400 K)
n18 × high power LEDs, warm white (approx. 2800 K)
nSteplessly adjustable colour temperature of 2800…6400 K
n8 preprogrammed automatic shows
nControl via DMX (5 channels) and via buttons and display on the unit
nMaster / Slave operation
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This effect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
