COLORado PXL Curve 12
This incredibly innovative fixture features 12 pixel-mappable RGBW 45W LEDs but its party trick is very unique and raises it above just an ordinary lighting bar; every LED source is motorised. That’s right, all 12 LED sources feature a 200° tilt and the fixtures are easily stacked edge-to-edge, meaning you can create a seamless shape-shifting spine of mesmerising lighting effects, comfortable in any professional stage setting.
Every cell features a 5.7 to 36.3° degree zoom range so you can add dancing effects to your production.
Individual control over each cell gives you pretty much limitless configuration for your shows and the fixture is IP65 rated so can be used indoor and out.

The E-2 FC boasts extraordinary lighting quality and CRI, near-silent operation, an integrated 25-50° zoom lens, an RGBAL LED engine and also features a one-touch auto focus button for seamless focussing without a board op. Its +/- green adjustment lets you finely dial in beautiful skin tones and the emulated redshift gives the fixture the traditional tungsten appearance that many theatres seek.
But what makes this fixture so good is its wide zoom range from such a compact fixture thanks to its integrated zoom lens, and its dedicated Focus Mode button. This lets you seamlessly focus without a board op, ideal for small theatre stages, schools and auditoriums.
