The Headlite W LED, a 5200 kelvin white LED fixture in an 18-inch by 18-inch size, uses 24 strips, each with six high power Luxeon LEDs, for a total of 144 LEDs per fixture. With a combined output of over 25,000 lumens, the fixture is designed to be used as a “low-wattage blinder and special effects fixture,” according to John Huddleston, general manager of Upstaging Lighting Services. The Headlite is controlled by 24 DMX channels, each channel controlling one of its 24 LED strips, providing a variety of programming possibilities. Each individual LED also has it own interchangeable lens. Currently the fixture comes with a 12° lens. Without the lens, the LED puts out a narrow 6° spread. A 24° lens is also available.
For the tech, the DMX input is 3 pin XLR complete with data flow thru. The fixture with its auto-switching power supply draws 3 amps at 208V or 5 amps at 120V. The fixtures weighs 35 lbs. It has a stationary yoke with a three hole configuration, which can be hung in a variety of ways. It offers 50,000 hours of LED life.
The Headlite W LED is currently being used on tour by Nine Inch Nails.
