AYRTON now introduces LEVANTE S, a dramatically miniaturised version of
the BORA wash light, and using the same radical concept, has endowed it with
outstanding performance capabilities in the confines of an ultra-compact format.
Levante is a marvel of technology that will attract the most demanding lighting
designers. Fitted with a spherical frontal 138 mm lens, the proprietary optical
system, using 13 lenses and developed specifically for wash-type applications,
features a zoom ratio of over a 8:1 and an impressive zoom range from 6.9°
to 57°. The optics produce an extremely uniform flat beam with no hot spot,
ensuring a perfect colour mix regardless of the colour combination selected.
AYRTON has created a wash luminaire that can actually sculpture light and added a
high-transmission diffusion filter to the zoom lens group to erase the edge of the beam
without changing its angle. A variable linear frost system was developed to let the
user adjust the desired diffusion level with precision. A new barndoors module allows
the four shutter blades to be freely positioned on 100% of the surface area so that
any object can be framed regardless of the luminaire’s position.
LEVANTE S is specially designed for stage applications. Weighing only 22 kg,
LEVANTE S, can produce metallic white light calibrated at 7000 K and
deliver light output greater than 20,000 lumens while consuming only 300 W.
Feature-rich from the factory, LEVANTE S is not only equipped with a barndoor module
but also a CMY colour mixing system, which, combined with a variable CTO and a
wheel with seven complementary colours, produces an infinite palette of vivid pastels
and saturated colours. A 15-blade iris diaphragm and a wheel with seven indexable
rotating gobos are supplied as standard equipment. A new ultra-compact high-output
550 W power supply feeds eight additional motors in the barndoor system, fitting into
the same format as MISTRAL. LEVANTE S has a highly efficient phase-change liquid
cooling system using a heat pipe that includes a particularly effective ultra-silent
ventilation mode, designed for stage and studio applications.
