The Vari-Lite Aurora Strip 12 is a powerful, high-output LED strip designed to provide rich, vibrant color mixing for a variety of applications, including set piece illumination, cyc lighting, foot lighting, and more. With its 12-cell configuration, the Aurora Strip 12 offers superior performance for theatrical, house of worship, and TV or film studio environments. It utilizes an advanced RGBALC color mixing system, combining red, green, blue, amber, lime, and cyan LEDs to offer a wide color spectrum, providing excellent color accuracy and flexibility in color choices. The SmartColor Control system simplifies color management, enabling easy programming and smooth color transitions with traditional CYM controls.
At the core of the Aurora Strip 12's performance is its ability to control individual pixels, allowing for split colors, gradients, and dynamic effects. The 320W LED engine delivers a high CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 96, ensuring that colors appear natural and true, even in demanding lighting situations. The adjustable color temperature range, from 1800K to 10000K, allows the user to match the fixture's color temperature to a specific palette or lighting environment without the need for manual adjustments. This makes it perfect for applications such as theater, where lighting temperature control is critical for scene changes and mood setting. Additionally, the fanless design ensures a quiet operation, making it ideal for environments where noise is a concern.
The optical performance of the Aurora Strip 12 features a 22° beam angle, providing a sharp, focused output ideal for illuminating wide areas. The fixture's output lumens reach 13,400, providing ample brightness for most applications. The Aurora Strip 12 can also be equipped with an optional lens accessory kit, expanding its versatility by offering wider or shaped beams. This makes the fixture adaptable to various stage designs, from large theaters to smaller, more intimate settings.
The Aurora Strip 12 is designed with user-friendly features for both installation and operation. It supports multiple DMX control protocols including DMX (RDM), ArtNet, and sACN, providing flexibility in connectivity. With support for up to 12 individual pixel-controlled channels, it offers an exceptional level of detail in programming and visual effects. The unit's robust construction, made of aluminum and steel, ensures long-lasting durability, and its IP20 rating makes it suitable for indoor use in controlled environments.
