beamZ Pro IGNITE300A - BSW LED Moving Head with Animation Wheel

beamZ Pro IGNITE300A - BSW LED Moving Head with Animation Wheel

The beamZ Pro IGNITE300A is a professional and versatile lighting solution designed to meet the highest demands of productions, events, and shows. This powerful hybrid moving head combines three luminaires in one: Beam, Spot, and Wash (BSW) . Thanks to its 300W high-intensity white LED light source, the IGNITE300A projects a bright and crisp beam of light, capable of standing out on any stage, from concerts and festivals to theatrical productions and permanent club installations.

Equipped with high-precision three-phase motors, its pan and tilt movements are exceptionally smooth and fast, allowing for precise positioning and seamless transitions. The creative core of this unit lies in its advanced optical and effects system. The unique animation wheel , with adjustable speed and direction, allows for the creation of dynamic visual effects and moving textures, adding a new dimension to any lighting design. In addition, two independent gobo wheels offer endless creative possibilities: one with seven rotating and interchangeable gobos (two glass and five metallic) and another with nine fixed gobos, including a split-color function. Both wheels feature shake and rotation effects for greater versatility.

The light beam is fully controllable thanks to its linear motorized zoom , which allows you to adjust the beam angle from a focused and defined 7° beam to a wide 32° coverage area. To enhance aerial effects, the IGNITE300A incorporates a dual rotating prism system, one with 3 facets and the other with 8 facets, which can be superimposed to create complex and spectacular projections. Furthermore, the integrated frost filter softens the beam edges, transforming the luminaire into a perfect wash effect.

Main features

• 3-in-1 Functionality (BSW): Integrates Beam, Spot and Wash effects into a single unit, offering maximum versatility and optimizing equipment.
• Powerful LED Source: Equipped with a high-intensity 300W white LED that guarantees high brightness and a long lifespan.
• Animation Wheel: Allows you to create fire, water, and other moving texture effects with adjustable speed and rotation direction.
• Dual Gobo System: Includes one wheel with 7 interchangeable rotating gobos and another with 9 static gobos for a wide variety of patterns and effects.
• Double Overlap Prism: A 3-facet prism and an 8-facet prism, both rotatable, which can be used independently or in combination.
• Motorized Zoom and Frost Filter: Zoom range from 7° to 32° and a frost filter for smooth transitions between defined beam and color wash.
• Professional Control: Multiple control modes, including 22 DMX channels, RDM for remote setup, automatic programs, music rhythm mode, and Master/Slave.
• Precise Movement: Three-phase motors that ensure fast, quiet Pan (540°) and Tilt (270°) movement with automatic position correction.

Benefits for lighting professionals

The beamZ Pro IGNITE300A is designed to optimize the workflow of lighting technicians and designers. Remote Device Management (RDM) capability allows for remote modification of the DMX address and other settings, a crucial time-saver during setup. The inclusion of 3-pin and 5-pin DMX connectors, along with PowerCON power input and output, facilitates integration into any professional lighting rig. Its rugged construction and the availability of an optional flight case make it a reliable and durable tool for rental companies and touring businesses.

Use cases

Thanks to its versatility, the IGNITE300A is the perfect choice for a wide variety of applications:

• Concerts and Festivals: Its powerful lighting and dynamic aerial effects make it ideal for stages of any size.
• Theatrical Productions: Precise zoom, interchangeable gobos, and silent operation are key to creating atmospheres and highlighting scenes.
• Corporate Events: Allows you to project custom logos (gobos) and create a sophisticated and dynamic environment.
• Discos and Clubs: The speed of their movements and the variety of effects keep the energy on the dance floor.
• AV Rental Companies: A single unit covers the needs of three types of luminaires, making it a smart and versatile investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that it's a BSW moving head?
BSW stands for Beam, Spot, and Wash. This means that this single light fixture can perform three distinct functions: create a very narrow and powerful beam of light (Beam), project gobos and patterns with defined edges (Spot), and cover a wide area with a uniform and diffused color (Wash).

What is the animation wheel used for?
The animation wheel is a disc with a special pattern that, when rotated in front of the light beam, creates fluid and continuous visual effects, such as simulated flames, rippling water, or light tunnels. It adds an extra level of dynamism that cannot be achieved with gobos alone.

What advantage does RDM control offer?
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that enables bidirectional communication between a moving head and a compatible lighting console. This means you can configure the DMX address, check the equipment status, or receive error reports remotely, without needing physical access to the fixture, which is very useful when it's mounted on hard-to-reach structures.

Can the two prisms be superimposed?
Yes, the 3- and 8-facet prisms can be activated simultaneously. By overlapping them, the light beam multiplies exponentially, creating extremely complex and visually striking aerial effects.
