The BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head from Thomann's in-house brand Stairville makes a striking appearance thanks to its incredibly high light output, versatile combination of beam and spot functions, and professional features including motorised zoom, motorised focus, and a colour wheel that allows 27 colours as well as UV light to be created. This is perfectly complemented by an extremely wide range of dynamic effects thanks to a gobo wheel with 14 static gobos, a gobo wheel with nine freely indexable and rotatable gobos, a selection of four additional gobos, two indexable and rotatable prisms, and a frost filter. A suitable case for securely transporting the Stairville BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head can also be purchased separately.
The two-in-one Stairville BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head features a maximum rotation angle (pan) of 540°, a maximum inclination angle (tilt) of 270°, a 280-watt light source that requires a power supply of 347 watts, and a total weight of 17kg, which can be securely transported thanks to two integrated, robust handles on the sides of the base. This beam-spot moving head can be controlled via DMX in 15-channel or 21-channel DMX mode. The necessary three-pin XLR sockets for connecting a DMX controller are located at the rear of the base, while the front-facing display and menu buttons provide access to the basic settings. High operational safety is ensured by a pair of lockable power twist sockets that reliably prevent the moving head from being disconnected by accident.
The feature-packed Stairville BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head is eminently suitable for professional stage lighting at concerts and show events, and will unveil its full potential in 21-channel DMX mode, which provides access to an extended range of effects, including blackouts during pan or tilt movements, blackouts during rotation of the gobo wheels or the colour wheel, variable speed settings using 31 movement macros, and many more. Thanks to its incredibly powerful light output, the BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head is the ideal solution for larger stages, where it can be placed directly on the floor or suspended in a rig as a back or front light and thus offer lighting designers virtually unlimited scope for creating dynamic effects at shows and concerts. The zoom allows the beam and spot angles to be adjusted from 3° to 11° and from 7° to 25°, respectively, while the frost filter helps to create a particularly uniform beam of light. Users going on tour can securely stow away and transport the BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Head in an optional case.
Since it was introduced in 1994, Thomann's in-house brand Stairville has been a permanent fixture in the store's product range. The brand primarily focuses on the field of stage lighting in general, and its products include spotlights, moving lights, and theatre lighting as well as smoke machines, electronic control systems, and every other accessory you can think of. Thomann constantly has around 1,600 Stairville products on offer, and the figures speak for themselves: Statistically, one in every fifteen Thomann customers owns at least one Stairville product. Incidentally, the name "Stairville" is also a catchy English translation of "Treppendorf", the town that Thomann calls home.
Lighting designers can create impressive, multi-faceted light shows for band concerts with just two Stairville BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Heads placed on the stage floor at the sides of the backdrop or permanently suspended in a lighting rig by fixing the included mounting brackets to the underside of the base and attaching a separately available safety cord. To set up dual operation in DMX mode, all users have to do is connect the individual lights to a power source, daisy chain them with one another using a DMX cable, and connect a DMX controller with a minimum of 15 channels. Alternatively, two BS-280 R10 BeamSpot Moving Heads can also be positioned on the stage back wall to illuminate the backdrop and sidedrops, or used as powerful blinders by placing them on the stage floor in a slightly elevated position and directing them towards the audience.
