Ayrton Karif LT - 300W 8000K LED Moving Head Spot with 3 to 45-Degree Zoom in Black Finish

The Ayrton Karif LT is an ultra-compact, high-performance moving head spot luminaire designed for long-throw applications. Part of Ayrton's renowned "LT" (Long Throw) series, the Karif LT is engineered to deliver phenomenal output and exceptional beam precision for both creative lighting professionals and technical applications. Weighing only 59.5 lbs, the Karif LT manages to combine extreme performance with a lightweight, compact design, making it the ideal fixture for long-distance projection and beam effects in a variety of environments.

At the heart of the Karif LT is a 300W high-efficiency LED module, calibrated to an 8000K colour temperature, which produces powerful metallic white light and deep, vivid colours. The fixture outputs up to 14,000 lumens at 7000K, providing remarkable brightness for its size. The LED source is designed for long-lasting performance, with a rated lifespan of up to 40,000 hours (L70), ensuring dependable operation for extended periods. The light source features flicker-free technology, making the Karif LT suitable for TV and video-recorded events, ensuring smooth and consistent lighting on screen.

The Karif LT is equipped with a sophisticated optical system featuring a 13-lens assembly and a 168 mm frontal lens, delivering a remarkable 17:1 zoom ratio with a zoom range from 2.8° to 47°. This wide zoom range offers flexibility for a variety of effects, from narrow beams to wider washes. The motorized linear zoom allows for fast and smooth adjustment, while the tempered anti-reflective coated lenses contribute to higher light transmission and exceptional beam quality. The Karif LT produces a sharp, uniform beam with no hot spots, making it perfect for long-throw applications where beam precision is critical.

The Karif LT incorporates an advanced CMY colour mixing system, enabling users to achieve smooth and seamless colour transitions. It also features a multi-position colour wheel with a progressive CTO, four colour temperature corrections, and nine complementary colours. The ability to adjust the colour temperature from 2700K to 6500K provides further flexibility, allowing users to fine-tune the light to their exact needs. In addition, a CRI improvement filter helps optimize colour rendering, ensuring accurate and vibrant colour reproduction.

The fixture's gobo system offers a wide selection of visual possibilities. The Karif LT includes one indexable rotating gobo wheel with 9 HD glass gobos, as well as a fixed gobo wheel with 19 HD glass gobos and 20 metal gobos. The rotating gobo diameter is 18 mm, with an image diameter of 13 mm, and the gobo thickness is 1.1 mm. These high-quality gobos allow the Karif LT to project crisp, sharp images or soft effects depending on the requirements of the show. A graphic animation effect-wheel with bi-directional continuous rotation further enhances the fixture's creative capabilities, allowing for dynamic visual effects. Additionally, the Karif LT is equipped with two sets of four combinable rotating prisms, providing further flexibility in creating volumetric effects and kaleidoscopic visuals.

To optimize the light output, the Karif LT includes a fast iris diaphragm with adjustable dynamic effects, and two frost filters (light and heavy), enabling users to adjust the diffusion of the beam to suit the application. Whether creating sharp, intense beams or softer washes, the Karif LT delivers the versatility needed to achieve any desired effect.

The Karif LT features a rugged, lightweight housing made from a combination of aluminium and steel, with die-cast aluminium bases and fire-retardant ABS PC moulded covers, ensuring durability and longevity in even the most demanding environments. The fixture also boasts an IP20 protection rating, making it ideal for indoor applications. For outdoor use, the Karif LT is designed with a range of weatherproofing features, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environments. Additionally, the fixture is equipped with an advanced liquid cooling system and self-adjusting variable speed fans for silent operation, including a Silent Mode option for noise-sensitive situations.

In terms of movement, the Karif LT offers infinite pan rotation and 263° of tilt, enabling complete freedom of movement for dynamic lighting effects. Its high-resolution stepper motors ensure smooth and accurate positioning, with both 8- or 16-bit resolution for precise control over movement. The fixture also includes automatic repositioning for continuous tracking, which ensures the luminaire remains aligned even during high-speed movement. This feature is ideal for applications requiring dynamic and precise motion.

The Karif LT supports DMX 512 protocol, and is compatible with DMX-RDM for remote addressing and control. The fixture can be controlled through either wired or wireless DMX connections, offering flexibility for integration into any lighting rig. With three DMX modes (32 to 46 channels), users have the option to tailor their control setup to suit the specific requirements of the show. For additional convenience, the Karif LT also features a built-in LCD control panel for local addressing and settings, along with a graphic display for easy navigation and adjustments.
