Overview: Elektralite’s eye<br />
Kandy Fixture<br />
Specifics: At the heart of<br />
Elektralite’s eye Kandy fixture is a<br />
200-watt white lED running at 150<br />
watts for long life and reliability. The<br />
white is balanced so as not to give<br />
off a blue-white color sometimes<br />
seen in other fixtures. lensing is<br />
set at a beam angle of six degrees,<br />
producing a tight, intensely bright,<br />
pencil beam of light that can project<br />
over long distances. The white lED<br />
can be colored using the built-in<br />
color wheel, which has seven glass<br />
dichroic filters. The eye Kandy has<br />
seven gobos, which are interchangeable<br />
and can rotate in both directions.<br />
16 tri-color three-watt lEDs,<br />
arranged in a circle around the outside edge of the front lens, are<br />
formatted and can be controlled in quadrants. These tri-color lEDs<br />
have a beam angle of 25 degrees and can produce color washes<br />
around the center pencil-beam of light.<br />
