Abstract:

There is provided an arrangement for spot illumination (14).

In combination with an optical projection system which may comprise at least two additional zoom lenses and a gate (in which several maskers, gobos or shutters could be inserted) the system allows color mixing in an extended operational range including out of focus zoom settings often used to get soft edge spots.
