3 Applications
The moving head TWIST-50LED projects a variety
of light patterns on a surface and is ideally suited
for professional applications on stage and in dis-
cothèques. The 16-bit resolution of the head move-
ment provides a most accurate positioning of the
light beam at a variable speed. Due to automatic
repositioning, the head will automatically return to
its starting position if it has been displaced by exter-
nal effects.
The light source is an extra bright 50 W LED pro-
viding a brightness that compares to a 250 W dis-
charge lamp. The LED has a low power consump-
tion, a low heat generation and a long life.
The TWIST-50LED is designed for control via
a DMX light controller (11 DMX control channels,
switchable to 8 channels); however, it is also suit-
able for operation on its own. In this case, it is con-
trolled via selectable programs, via the integrated
microphone or via a remote controller (available as
an accessory: LC-3 or LC-9RTX).
