| Title: |
Automated Color Mixing Wash Luminaire |
| Abstract: |
An automated color mixing wash luminaire includes a movable yoke and a
housing movably connected to the yoke. The housing has a first portion
including a light source and provides for removing heat generated from the
light source. A second portion of the housing includes movable color
filters and a power lens. The light source is operable to project a beam
of light along a path through the color filters and the lens. Heat removal
is provided by cooling fins and at least one heat filter supported in the
path of the beam so that a portion of the beam passes through the heat
filter and a portion of the beam is reflected from the path toward the
cooling fins. The power lens is formed by a disc of cast transparent
material including several lens elements in a honeycomb pattern. Each lens
element has a convex surface. At least one of the color filters is a
gradient density color filter formed of a disc-shaped substrate having a
planar surface including a photolithograpically etched film deposited
thereon. The film forms a Gausian pattern arcuate band extending around a
substantial portion of the planar surface. The band has inner and outer
edges and the density of the film is greater in an area along a radius
between the inner and outer edges and less along the radius at the inner
and outer edges.
