Fluotec Illuminates
StudioLED Fresnels
Fluotec has introduced the 5"
Manual Zoom AuraLux and 7" Motorized
Zoom VegaLux StudioLED Fresnels. The
fixtures incorporate Fluotec's Nebula Diffusion Chamber Technology, which mixes and
homogenizes the light output, allowing the
focusable beam to emit a pure white light
specially tailored to broadcast and motionpicture applications.
The VegaLux draws only 180 watts
and produces an output comparable to a
1,000-watt tungsten fixture; the AuraLux
draws 146 watts with an output comparable to a 650-watt tungsten unit. Additionally, the beam angle can be adjusted from
12-50 degrees with the Fluotec's proprietary
Halodim control algorithm, which enables
stepless dimming via an onboard panel or
remote DMX; the VegaLux also offers DMX
control of the beam angle.
Fluotec's Fresnels are available in
3,200K and 5,600K versions, and they
include eight-blade barn doors. The fixtures
are extremely quiet, with an optimized
passive and active cooling system that
employs quiet fans for studio or location
applications.

Roller, a wheeled

removable padded dividers in multiple sizes,

interior to keep lenses, cameras and other

comfortable travel bag. Constructed from
lightweight, waterproof fabric, the bag also
