Ayrton Cobra2 - 260W 6500K Laser Source IP65-Rated Moving Head Beam with 0.6 to 23-Degree Zoom in Black Finish

The Ayrton Cobra2 is a high-performance, IP65-rated laser source moving head beam designed to push the boundaries of beam precision and colour reproduction. As the successor to the highly successful COBRA, the Cobra2 has been specifically developed for the US market, fully compliant with the US FDA CDRH laser product requirements, ensuring that it adheres to the highest safety standards for laser sources. This fixture combines incredible power with advanced features, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in all environments, including extreme conditions such as salty air and low temperatures.

At the core of the Cobra2 is a 260W high-efficiency laser source, offering an unmatched luminous flux of 1,544,000 lux at 10 meters, ensuring a beam that cuts through any space with exceptional brightness and clarity. The laser source is speckle-free, providing a smooth, consistent beam quality. With a 6500 K colour temperature output and a CRI greater than 65, the Cobra2 delivers perfect light neutrality, making it ideal for both creative and technical applications. The fixture boasts a remarkable rated life of 12,000 hours (L70), ensuring long-lasting performance even under heavy use.

The Cobra2 features a sophisticated 13-lens optical system, providing an 8:1 zoom ratio and a zoom range from 0.6° to 23°. This extreme zoom range, coupled with a 170 mm front lens, allows for incredible versatility in beam size and focus, enabling the fixture to create everything from razor-sharp beams to wide washes. The advanced optical design significantly improves colour mixing, delivering superior results compared to traditional fixtures and enabling smooth transitions between colours without any distortion.

The colour section of the Cobra2 includes a high-definition CMY colour mixing system, providing users with seamless colour transitions. The fixture also offers a fixed colour wheel equipped with a progressive CTO, six colour temperature corrections, and 21 complementary colour filters for endless creative possibilities. Additionally, a progressive CRI improvement filter ensures that colours are always rendered with accuracy, regardless of the combination used.

For added creativity, the Cobra2 features a vast selection of 92 fixed and rotating metal gobos, divided between two wheels. The first wheel holds 12 indexable rotating gobos, while the second wheel includes 80 metal gobos specifically designed for use in beam mode. The gobo system, combined with a monochromatic animation effects wheel with continuous bi-directional rotation, allows for dynamic and captivating visuals. The fixture also features two sets of four combinable rotating prisms, offering further versatility to create stunning volumetric effects. Two frost filters, one light and one heavy, provide additional options for adjusting the diffusion of the light to suit different design needs.

Built with durability and efficiency in mind, the Cobra2 is housed in a rugged aluminium and steel skeleton, with a die-cast aluminium base and fire-retardant ABS PC moulded covers. The IP65 protection rating ensures that the Cobra2 can operate in harsh environments, protected from dust, moisture, and rain. This makes it perfect for outdoor events, festivals, or installations where weatherproofing is essential. The fixture is also equipped with an advanced liquid cooling system with variable speed fans for quiet operation, including a Silent Mode for environments where noise reduction is critical.

In terms of movement, the Cobra2 is designed for flexibility and precision. With infinite pan and tilt rotation, the fixture provides unmatched positioning freedom, and its high-resolution stepper motors ensure smooth, accurate movement. The Cobra2 offers 8- or 16-bit resolution operation for fine control, and the automatic repositioning feature ensures that the fixture remains perfectly aligned during operation. These features make the Cobra2 an excellent choice for applications requiring dynamic, high-precision movements.

The Cobra2 is fully compatible with DMX 512, ArtNet, and sACN protocols, and can be controlled via wired or wireless DMX connections. It also supports DMX-RDM, allowing for remote addressing and parameter adjustment. The fixture features a local control panel with an LCD display and a flipping function for easy operation. Additionally, it offers three DMX modes (35 to 45 channels), ensuring flexibility for integration into various lighting setups.

Designed with a maximum operating temperature of 113°F and a minimum of -4°F, the Cobra2 is capable of operating in extreme conditions. Whether it's used indoors for theatrical performances, concerts, or large-scale outdoor events, this luminaire is engineered to provide reliable, high-performance lighting in any environment.
