whizzzy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Robe Colormix Washes Having a bit of a clear-out of some lighting which isn't getting much use at the moment and here are a pair of Robe ColorMix's. One is a 240AT and the other is a 250AT. Both units have just been re-lamped with brand new Sylvania 250W discharge lamps and these have less than an hour run time on both. The units use C M Y colour mixing (cyan, magenta, yellow) so basically you can dial in almost any colour you like. They have strobe, dimmer as well as colour macro so both units can produce identical effects. Alternatively you can use the c m y colour mixing and produce contrasting or complementary colour washes between each unit. These units can produce a nice intense colour-wash which LED lighting still struggles with IMHO. If you are playing in a room with a fairly low ceiling if you point them straight up and bounce the light off the ceiling it can produce a really good effect. The beam angle can be adjusted and I have attempted to show this in the photos below - the left unit is set to wide angle and the right is narrow. Adjustment is a 60 second job by removing the front cover, slackening off the two thumb wheels and sliding the lens back or forward to give the required beam angle. The 240AT is a de-spec'd version of the 250AT in that it doesn't have a colour wheel or beam shaper which the 250AT has. This has not been a problem for me as any colour can be dialled up using the c m y filters and as for the beam shaper I have yet to use this on any of the lights I have!
