Following the Rivale Profile, which sold more than 10,000 units in less than a year, Ayrton has launched its brand-new Veloce Profile luminaire. This is the second luminaire in its Ultimate family, which has been specially designed for use in large spaces.
Veloce Profile is designed as an IP65-rated luminaire capable of operating in all conditions, indoors and outdoors, including saline-heavy environments.
Ayrton said Veloce Profile has a brand-new sealed monoblock 850W high-efficiency LED module, calibrated at 6500K, which offers a luminous flux of 43,000 lumens with optimum positioning on the black body to achieve perfect light neutrality.
Its proprietary 13-lens optical system offers a zoom ratio of 13:1 and a zoom range from 4° to 52°; its 180mm front lens capable of delivering an intensive 4° beam.
Veloce Profile, like all the luminaires in the Ultimate range, adopts a new CMY colour mixing system with ultra-fast high-definition discs, Ayrton said. This single-layer system is designed to provide a clear improvement in colour intensity during reproduction. The single-disc progressive CTO enables colour temperature adjustment from 2700K to 6500K. A seven-position colour wheel with special filters completes the palette of colour creation tools. For specific applications requiring perfect colour reproduction, Veloce Profile offers a subtle adjustment of the colour rendering index from 70 to 86, Ayrton said.
The company continued that a new framing module makes it possible to isolate any object thanks to the “surgical positioning” of each shutter blade over 100% of the surface with +/-90° rotation. A 15-blade iris diaphragm with an aperture range of 15-100% is designed to optimise the beam at tight angles.
For greater freedom of movement and design flexibility, Veloce Profile comes as standard with infinite continuous rotation on both pan and tilt axes.
Veloce Profile features two superimposed rotating gobo wheels, each equipped with seven interchangeable high-definition glass gobos for creating spectacular effects. The effects section is equipped with a monochromatic animation wheel and two rotatable prisms that can be combined, including a circular five-facet prism and a linear four-facet prism for creating 3D effects. Two Frost filters, one with low diffusion that erases the contours of the beam without changing its angle, and one with high diffusion for wash applications, complete the image section.
The Veloce Profile luminaire weighs 40.5kg. Ayrton shared that the use of new, lighter aluminium parts has resulted in a significant reduction in weight.
