    Installation made easy


    The design of the Navis 100 luminaire covers every detail for seamless installation. Three wind-down clamps cater to ceiling thickness from 0.5 to 20 mm and are compatible with ArcSystem Ceiling Brackets and Goof Rings. Make any adjustments you need with a 30-degree tilt that doesn't break the ceiling plane, a 360-degree rotation to focus light any way, and a tool-operated pan/tilt lock. Simply pop the magnetic trim plate back on the luminaire once your installation is complete for a sleek finish.

    Discover a modern classic

    Fresnels have been around since the beginning of lighting design. These incandescent workhorse fixtures were known for their smooth wash and adjustable zoom.

    Combining all of the best features of incandescent Fresnels with the latest technology of LEDs, is a classic reimagined in Desire Fresnel. Available in both a 5” and 7” option.



     


    Full range of emotional color

    The Lustr X8 array brings subtle nuanced colors back to your stage. Colors you’ve been missing from a corner of the spectrum that has long been unreachable by LED sources. This is possible because of the introduction of deep red LEDs.

    Deep red brings new life and energy to your stage, your costumes, your scenery, and most importantly, skin. Skin tones of every color find new depth and dimension with the addition of deep red. Desire Fresnel includes more of the visual spectrum that made incandescent sources warm and full of life.

    Perhaps even more exciting is what happens when we add deep red to cool tones like blues and greens. It’s this nuanced color that takes a lighting design from good to great.

    Left Arrow See for yourself how deep red impacts the life and richness of every skin tone.



     


    Wide zoom range

    A true Fresnel with an LED engine, Desire Fresnel is available in both a 5” and 7” version, both with multiple zoom control locations. A Fresnel is only as good as its performance with barndoors. Desire Fresnel delivers with smooth fall off and clean edges. It’s truly a cut above the rest.

    Brightness

    We’ve taken the classic fixture that theatre technicians know and love and brought it into the 21st century. You get the softness of an incandescent wash light with LED color mixing and smooth dimming. With traditional Fresnels, you sacrifice lumens depending on zoom position, but that’s not the case with Desire Fresnel. We’ve reworked how the lens and lamp work together, so your Fresnel is bright and efficient through the entire zoom range.

    This provides more lumens regardless of angle, making it up to 25% more efficient over traditional Fresnel optical systems.

    Wireless Technology

    CONTACTLESS COMMUNICATION FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.

    The built in near field communication (NFC) hardware gives you the ability to configure your fixture with your mobile phone or tablet running the Set Light app. Amazingly, this works even if the fixture isn’t powered, allowing you to config while you rig.



     

    Console control from far away
