KARIF is a versatile new fixture in the “LT“ (Long Throw) series, adding to the AYRTON
product offering for long-distance applications. This is a machine with phenomenal
powers capable of delivering stunning visual effects. An ultra-compact 300 W
beam-spot luminaire equipped with a 168 mm frontal lens, KARIF offers an astronomical
zoom ratio of 17:1 and a zoom range of 2.8° to 47°. To achieve an ultra-intense beam
with an LED source, AYRTON uses an entirely new miniaturised high-efficiency
low-etendue compact LED module. Calibrated at 8000 K, it can generate powerful
metallic white light and deep, vivid colours suitable for this type of application. KARIF
provides overall output of 14,000 lumens at a colour temperature of 7000 K. In this
first hybrid LED luminaire, AYRTON has added continuous rotation to its panoramic
movement to expand the possibilities for creating complex special effects.
KARIF offers full-featured standard equipment including a CMY colour mixing system
and a multi-position colour wheel with a variable CTO, four colour-temperature
correction filters, and nine complementary colour filters on two concentric circles
(patent pending). The effect section includes one wheel with nine interchangeable
rotating HD glass gobos. For KARIF LT to reproduce multiple images, AYRTON has
developed a totally new wheel of fixed multi-position gobos with instant access to
19 HD glass gobos and 20 metal gobos on three concentric circles (patent pending).
KARIF is also equipped with a bi-directional continuous dynamic effects wheel. The
prism effect system comprising four individually combinable prisms, coupled with
48 fixed and rotating gobos and an ultra-intense beam, can create unusual and
spectacular kaleidoscopic effects.
