The fixture is designed to uncover a depth and richness to fabrics, scenery, and most importantly, skin tones with the Lustr X8 array. Buyers looking for a tunable white-light can choose the option with the Daylight HDR array.
The newly designed XDLT lens tubes are designed for ultimate brightness from every location in a theatre. Created to hang these in a box boom, on a catwalk, or from the farthest back of house position, for up to 13,000 lumens of brightness. Other new features include reduced light leak and near-zero chromatic aberration.
