Aytron Releases EagleStrike LT for Large-Scale Venues

	Equipped with a new high-efficiency 1,200W LED module, EagleStrike LT outputs a luminous flux of 55,000 lumens at a color temperature of 6,500K.

Ayrton is announcing the launch of its new followspot, EagleStrike LT, designed for maximum output, speed, and precision in stadiums, arenas, major events and other venues.

The first LED-source followspot in Ayrton's range, EagleStrike LT is engineered for intensive outdoor use across long distances where precision is paramount. An optional camera transforms EagleStrike LT into a fully automated tracking spotlight.

Ayrton has developed an oversized 270mm front lens capable of delivering an ultra-intense 2.9-degree beam; its 13-lens optical system with 15:1 zoom ratio gives working range of 2.9 to 43 degrees, with dedicated gobo reducers able to narrow the beam to 0.9 or 2.5 degrees.

Equipped with a new high-efficiency 1,200W LED module, EagleStrike LT outputs a luminous flux of 55,000 lumens at a color temperature of 6,500K. It easily achieves a record-breaking light output of over 100,000 lux at 10m, and 6250 lux over 40m, the company says.

EagleStrike LT introduces a new ultra-fast CMY flag-based color mixing system, capable of matching the speed of Ayrton's "Ultimate" series luminaires. A progressive CTO offers subtle tuning from 2,900K to 6,500K. The color section includes six complementary color filters, two CRI enhancement filters, one minus green, one gobo correction and one multi-color filter.

More than a followspot, EagleStrike LT also offers a range of optical tools for sculpting the light: precision full-framing across 100% of the file and +/- 90-degree rotation, two overlaying rotating gobo wheels, each with seven gobos, a 15-blade iris diaphragm, a single-color effects wheel and two frost filters, as well as two combinable rotating image-multiplier prisms: a four-facet linear and a five-facet circular.

Continuous rotation on the pan axis expands EagleStrike LT's creative potential and facilitates use in automatic followspot mode.

A next-generation oversized cooling system ensures high efficiency, and is particularly quiet, the company says. EagleStrike LT's minimalist design integrates all waterproofing features while maintaining full access to internal components.
