Patent Number: 4890208 
Title: Stage Lighting Apparatus 
Abstract: The disclosed stage lighting apparatus includes a constant-direction beam forming unit and an adjustable beam redirector for aiming the beam at a wide range of locations varying in azimuth and elevation, and programmable remote-control equipment for the various adjustments of the beam-forming unit and the beam redirector. The beam-forming unit comprises a lamp and a heat-absorbing ellipsoidal reflector acting with the lamp to provide a beam; a heat-extracting filter in the path of the beam comprising a chamber containing circulated liquid that absorbs infra-red and a dichroic filter that reflects infra-red and is cooled by the circulated liquid of the chamber; an adjustable filter in the path of the beam comprising three elongated mutually overlapping subtractive color filters and a neutral brightness control filter, each filter having densities varying from clear to a maximum; an adjustable beam shaper; and adjustable beam-focussing lenses, all of which provides a constant-direction beam, the beam then being adjustably directed to the stage.
