BMFL™ Blade

Four fast shutter blades with smooth and precise movement in the new BMFL Blade lighting fixture. Individually angled and positioned within a frame - which itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable, frame for the projected image.

Light source

1700 W OSRAM Lok-it! HTI 1700/PS

Light output

40.000 lm, 250.000 lx @ 5 m, 2.500 lx @ 50 m

Zoom range

5° - 55°

Effects

rotating and static gobo wheel, circular and linear prism, framing shutters, animation wheel

| ROBE lighting

Producing a new series of fast-moving in-air effects through pre-programmed shape and movement sequences of the blades, gobo images can be trimmed or framed in a regular, triangular or trapezoid shape. Each pair of opposing blades can close to a complete blackout.Two gobo wheels – one rotating with six slot&lock gobo positions plus another with 8 static gobos can be combined with the Animation wheel to create numerous dynamic projected effects.

Add all this to the already acclaimed BMFL features including: exceptionally smooth linear dimming, Imperceptable high definition colour mixing, full width beam, Output in excess of 250,000 lux at 5 metres – and the Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology, enabling the BMFL™ to both move and stop faster and more precisely than any other fixture in its class - all this housed in a compact body profile weighing just 37,9 Kgs.
