The fixture can be floor, wall or truss
mounted using the brackets supplied. Once mounted the fixture can be
adjusted to a selected angle.

LEDs
Life
Light Output
24 x 1W Red, 24 x 3W Green and 24 x 3W
Royal Blue, High Power, High Efficiency
LEDs (170 Mains Watts per metre).
Expected LED life of 25,000 hours at full
power white (100,000 hours with normal
colour changing usage).
Visible spectrum only – produces no
infra-red or ultra-violet light which can
heat or fade objects.
Beam Angles
10°, 10x50°, 25°, or 45° lenses specified
with order.
Flicker Free
Continuous drive electronics ensures a
smooth, flicker-free, soothing light. We
do not compromise on this, and do not
use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which
strobes the LEDs at high frequency and
can produce a stressful, agitating light.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Temperature
-20°C to +50°C.
Cooling
The fixture is convection cooled using
the body of the fixture as a substantial
heatsink. Above a threshold temperature,
a thermal management control system
smoothly reduces the power to protect
the LEDs and the internal electronics
from excessive temperatures.
CONTROL
Colours
256 levels of Red, Green and Blue = 16.7
million colours.
Fixtures
Each ChromaBatten can be configured
either as one fixture or as three subfixtures.
Sequences
Built-in ChromaZone Effects Generator
provides a wide range of 6 or 12-way
chase patterns and sequences, for superb
lighting effects without complicated
programming.
Configurations
The following arrangements work
particularly well with the inbuilt chase
patterns:
2 x ChromaBattens as 6 sub-fixtures,
4 x ChromaBattens as 12 sub-fixtures,
6 x ChromaBattens as 6 fixtures,
12 x ChromaBattens as 12 fixtures.
Control input
DMX 512 to allow full remote control
of intensity levels, or to select effects
from the built-in ChromaZone Effects
Generator.

■ DMX Address (1 to 512)
■ ChromaZone Mode (3, 6, 9, 10, 36, 42, 46 channels)
■ Channels per Fixture (3/9)
■ Fixture Number (1-4 or 1-12)
■ Chase patterns (6/12)
Each ChromaBatten can be operated either as a single

fixture (3-channel mode), or divided into three separately-
■ Input Smoothing (Smooth/Fast)
cotrollable sub-fixtures (9-channel mode).
■ Low Voltage Supply (On/Off )
The red, green, and blue levels of the LEDs in each fixture or
sub-fixture can be set to a value between 0 and 255, giving
over 16.7 million possible colours.
The ChromaBatten 200 also incorporates a built-in
ChromaZone controller, which can be programmed to
sequence the fixture through a wide range of alternative

power simultaneously to all units will then initiate the
correct chase sequence across all units.
