Ayrton Argo 6 Wash - 19 x 40W RGBW LED IP65-Rated Moving Head Wash with 4 to 56-Degree Zoom in Black Finish

The Ayrton Argo 6 Wash is a versatile and high-performance LED moving head wash luminaire designed for both indoor and outdoor use. With its sleek, minimalist design and advanced weather-sealing features, this fixture is built to withstand harsh environments, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications in concerts, stage performances, theme parks, and outdoor events. Featuring IP65-rated protection, the Argo 6 Wash combines robust durability with cutting-edge visual capabilities, providing unmatched creative flexibility and performance.

At the core of the Argo 6 Wash is its powerful lighting system. Equipped with 19 x 40W RGBW high-power LEDs, the fixture produces up to 13,000 lumens of light output. The RGBW additive color mixing system allows the Argo 6 Wash to create a vast spectrum of colors, reaching up to 4.29 billion shades. With high-quality color rendering (CRI of up to 86), this luminaire ensures vivid and accurate colors, even in complex lighting environments. Whether you need bright, saturated colors or soft pastel tones, the Argo 6 Wash delivers exceptional color blending with no color shadows, providing a consistent and uniform light beam.

For optimal visual performance, the Argo 6 Wash features a high-resolution optical system with 19 truncated 50 mm lenses, arranged in a 280 mm front lens cluster. This design enables a beam zoom range from 4° to 56° with a 14:1 zoom ratio, giving users the ability to adjust the beam from a narrow, intense spotlight to a wide wash. The fast motorized linear zoom allows for smooth and rapid transitions, providing flexibility for various applications from intense beam effects to wide washes.

Innovative effects and creative flexibility are key features of the Argo 6 Wash. The fixture offers both 2D and 3D graphical effects capabilities, enabling the creation of complex visual patterns that can be used alongside beam, wash, or matrix applications. The built-in pattern effects come with adjustable speed and fade controls, ideal for scenic applications. Additionally, the Argo 6 Wash incorporates the LiquidEffect system, which utilizes a translucent honeycomb structure to generate dynamic and fluid graphic effects. These effects can be used independently or in conjunction with the main LED matrix, further expanding the creative possibilities.

Designed for high accuracy, the Argo 6 Wash features advanced movement capabilities. The fixture is equipped with high-resolution stepper motors for precise positioning and smooth movement. It offers infinite, continuous rotation on both pan and tilt axes, ensuring maximum flexibility for dynamic performances. The pan and tilt movements are automatic, with repositioning features that ensure the fixture always returns to its intended position. The luminaire also includes an electronic dimmer that allows for precise light adjustment from 0 to 100% without color variation, along with a strobe effect that can be adjusted for speed (from 1 to 25 flashes per second).

The cooling system of the Argo 6 Wash is designed to ensure optimal performance even in high-demand conditions. The fixture features a self-adjusting, variable-speed fan system, providing efficient and quiet operation. Users can select from different ventilation modes, including Auto, Stage, and Studio settings, to tailor the cooling system to the specific needs of the environment. This ensures reliable performance while protecting the fixture from overheating during long events or in extreme temperatures.

The Argo 6 Wash is constructed from durable materials, including die-cast aluminum for the base and moving head, and aluminum heat sinks that enhance its thermal efficiency. The glass window at the front is IK08 rated for impact resistance, and the fixture is designed with a front lens treated with anti-reflective coating to improve light transmission. Its IP65 rating ensures full protection against dust and water, making it suitable for use in outdoor and harsh weather conditions. For added durability and ease of transport, the fixture features sturdy handles and heavy-duty feet, ensuring stability during use and transport.

Equipped with a wide array of features for ease of integration, the Argo 6 Wash supports a variety of DMX protocols, including DMX 512, ArtNet, and sACN, allowing seamless control via DMX cable or a wireless system. The fixture is also compatible with RDM, enabling remote monitoring and control. Its local control panel, with an intuitive LCD display, provides quick access to settings and functions, while the ability to select from 3 DMX modes offers further flexibility to fit any application.

With its superior optical performance, advanced effects capabilities, and rugged, weatherproof design, the Argo 6 Wash is a standout solution for creative lighting in both indoor and outdoor environments. Whether used for large-scale outdoor events, theatrical productions, or live concerts, this fixture delivers exceptional versatility and artistic freedom, making it an essential tool for lighting professionals.
