Features also include 14 or 16 DMX-512 channels, motorized focus, a mechanical dimmer, indexing gobos, a 3-facet high-speed bi-directional rotating prism, remote channel reset, variable shutter/strobe (7 flashes/sec), automatic pan/tilt correction, a removable air filter and remote on/off lamp control. Multiple gobo, color, prism and effects can be layered to produce impressive scenic effects.

Both wheels can effectuate a bi-directional rainbow color spin at variable speeds. The static gobo wheel is slotted for 11 interchangeable gobos plus open.

The indexing rotating gobo wheel features 6 slots that accept both metal and glass gobos. Both wheels spin bi-directionally at adjustable speeds. Movement range is 5700 of pan by 2700 of tilt. Beam angle is 150.

Four voltage settings are internally switchable. As sophisticated as it is, this powerful addition to the Legend series is surprisingly economical.
