Ayrton launches IP65-rated Argo 6

Ayrton has launched its new IP65-rated Argo 6 Wash and Argo 6 FX fixtures. Argo 6, Ayrton’s first weather-sealed effects luminaire, presents a minimalist design incorporating features for total protection against harsh weather with easier internal access.

A new composite alloy, reduction in thickness of the parts, an optimised cooling system, simplified lens guidance, and integration of low-density optical components, mean Ayrton has been able to reduce overall weight by twenty percent. Meanwhile, the placement of pan and tilt motors in the base and head of the luminaire avoids the constraint of weatherproofing the yoke arms. A new submersible ventilation system in a non-waterproof compartment allows for optimal cooling.

Available as Wash or FX versions, Argo 6 is equipped with a 280 mm anti-reflective treated glass front window and nineteen LEDs of 40 W with RGB+W additive colour synthesis that can deliver a light output of 13,000 lumens. Argo 6 can obtain a highly intense beam with a zoom ratio of 14:1 and a wide zoom range from 4° to 56°.

Argo 6 FX is designed for a multitude of applications. It borrows from the main features of the Wash version and offers continuous rotation of the pan and tilt movement I.R.S. Argo 6 FX is equipped with a high-definition liquid effect system enhanced by a translucent honeycomb that can generate complex graphic effects LiquidEffect.

For the first time, Ayrton has provided individual control of the LEDs on the Argo 6 Wash version and added a virtually infinite library of effects. A complete library of pre-programmed colours allows quick creation of subtle, dense and contrasting swaths of light. Argo 6 Wash and Argo 6 FX can be used alone or in combination with the main LED matrix.

Argo 6 is already being adopted worldwide with PRG Middle East being the first company in the world to take stock of the new fixtures, closely followed by Procom and Media Pro, Lunatec of Poland and Axente in France, Ambersphere Solutions in the UK, ACT Entertainment in North America, Molpass in Italy and Show Technology in Australia.
