Cobra is a groundbreaking luminaire, the result of years of meticulous development. It boasts a next-generation speckle-free laser source designed to render a D65 white point, ensuring flawless color reproduction. This fixture pushes the boundaries of beam definition, achieving native contrast levels that were previously unattainable by digital light sources. With an astonishing beam angle of 0.6°, Cobra’s extreme range of focus, thanks to its XT-Focus™ technology, allows the beam shape to be adjusted according to the operating distance. Equipped with a 170 mm frontal lens, Cobra features a proprietary optical system made up of 13 lenses. This setup delivers an unprecedented 38x zoom ratio with a zoom range of 0.6° to 23°, providing unrivaled flexibility. Its minimalist design, coupled with the luminaire's waterproofing system (EasyProtect-65™), and the continuous rotation of the pan and tilt movements (I.R.S.™), enhances its versatility, making Cobra an indispensable tool for any lighting challenge in all environments.
Cobra’s advanced color section includes a CMY mixing system and a multi-position instant access wheel, which is equipped with six corrective filters, 21 complementary color filters, and a variable CTO across two concentric circles (2D-ColorWheel™). It offers unmatched graphics capabilities, featuring a wide selection of 92 fixed and rotating metal gobos spread across two wheels. These gobos are designed to sculpt light in "beam" mode, while an animation section on the gobo wheel (2D-GoboWheel™) adds even more visual possibilities. The inclusion of two sections of rotating prisms—each with four individually combinable prisms—allows for the creation of stunning volumetric lighting effects. Additionally, Cobra is equipped with light and heavy frost filters, further enhancing its graphic potential. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, Cobra combines waterproof features with lightweight accessibility, making it suitable for the most extreme conditions. It includes a sunlight protection system (SunProtect-65™) and an integrated heating system (ColdProtect-65™) that ensures reliable operation in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Above all, Cobra is the only luminaire on the market capable of illuminating objects several kilometers away, making it truly unique.
The optical system of Cobra consists of a 13-element, high-resolution zoom system with a beam aperture ranging from 0.6° to 23°. The motorized linear zoom provides fast adjustments, while the tempered, anti-reflective coated lenses enhance its performance. The luminaire delivers an impressive luminous flux of 1,544,000 lux at 10 meters, with a color temperature output of 6500 K and a CRI greater than 65. Its speckle-free source ensures smooth, high-quality light output, with a rated life of up to 12,000 hours. For movement, Cobra offers precise positioning through high-resolution stepper motors that operate with either 8-bit or 16-bit resolution. The pan and tilt movements provide infinite rotation, making it capable of complex and dynamic lighting effects. The sophisticated color mix system, featuring CMY mixing and a fixed color wheel with progressive CTO and 21 complementary filters, ensures smooth and uniform light with rich, saturated hues.
Cobra also excels in effects generation, with a monochromatic graphical animation effects wheel that can continuously rotate in both directions. The rotating prisms and gobo wheels further enhance its effect capabilities, allowing users to produce a wide variety of lighting visuals. Additionally, the fixture features an electronic dimmer for smooth light adjustment from 0 to 100% without color variation, and a strobe effect with adjustable speed from 1 to 25 flashes per second. For software control, Cobra offers local DMX addressing via its built-in LCD control panel, as well as remote DMX addressing through an RDM DMX controller. It also supports ArtNet™ and sACN protocols via Ethernet, making it compatible with a wide range of control systems.
The fixture’s robust housing, made from aluminum and steel, ensures durability and stability in various environments. With its IP65 protection rating, Cobra is designed to withstand the harshest conditions, while its self-adjusting liquid cooling system and selectable ventilation modes— including a new Silent Mode—ensure quiet operation. Cobra’s power supply supports a range of 100 to 240 volts and has a maximum power consumption of 480 W. The installation of Cobra is made simple with its Omega ¼ turn brackets, allowing for quick and easy setup. The luminaire is designed to operate in all positions, with an ambient temperature range from -20°C (-4°F) to 45°C (113°F), making it a versatile and reliable solution for demanding lighting applications.
