Cantata Spotlights

Up to 50% more light and new features for flexibility in operation.

Cantata is the first range of luminaires to be designed for the new 1.2kW R.S.E.29 tungsten halogen lamp. By incorporating a larger diameter lens and a specially designed reflector, up to 50% increase in usable light has been achieved over previous 1kW spotlights.
This performance has been matched with improved operation features including a fully rotatable gate assembly, detachable lens tubes, simple to use peaky/flat field beam adjustment and an improved tilt clamp arrangement.

The 2-position lamp base permits use of either the new 1.2kW lamp or the conventional 1kW lamp. A fine adjustment of lamp height is provided.
The plug and socket connection to luminaire is robust and safe in operation, but at once disconnects if lamp tray is opened.
Profiles accept an iris or gobo. Gate is 360° rotatable and lockable - shutter blades are smooth in operation.

Separate rear lamp housing, serving all three profiles, is easily detached from lens tube.

Cantata Profiles

The three overlapping zoom profiles cover the range from a narrow 11° to a broad 44°.
A common design of lamp house is fitted with one of three detachable lens tubes. The lens tube can be removed and refitted by means of a simple twist action. Lens adjustment is done with the use of a linear slider knob and the beam spread can be adjusted smoothly by a thumbscrew, attached to the rear of the lamphouse.
The suspension fork is reversible for stand mounting and can be moved along the length of the luminaire for balance and it incorporates an improved tilt clamp mechanism.
For beam shaping flexibility the gate assembly has been designed to rotate through 360°.
