The Claypaky Tambora Batten is a high-power LED batten fixture engineered to deliver exceptional pixel mapping capabilities and a wide range of creative lighting effects. Designed with versatility and visual impact in mind, it features sixteen powerful 40W RGBW Osram LEDs—the same high-output light engines found in Claypaky’s acclaimed HY B-EYE and MINI-B fixtures. These LEDs provide individual control of each cell, enabling dynamic manipulation of color, dimming, and strobe effects either independently or in synchronized patterns. This level of pixel-level control makes the Tambora Batten ideal for advanced lighting designs that demand precision and creative freedom.
What sets the Tambora Batten apart is its seamless modularity. Multiple units can be arranged side by side or stacked in a matrix, with perfect alignment both horizontally and vertically. Whether used in a line or as part of a larger wall of light, the fixture maintains consistent spacing and visual uniformity. It is available in both round and square lens configurations, giving designers further flexibility to customize its appearance to fit specific installation or aesthetic requirements.
A standout feature of the Tambora Batten is its linear zoom, which ranges from a narrow 4° beam to a wide 53° wash, offering tight shafts of light or broad coverage as needed. Each LED cell also offers an independent 220° tilt for dynamic beam movement across a wide range. The fixture supports a correlated color temperature (CCT) adjustment from 2500K to 8000K and includes beam-edge softening for smooth washes. In its advanced operating mode, the Tambora Batten introduces an innovative “three layers” functionality—allowing simultaneous use of a background color, internal effect sequences, and real-time video content from an external media server. This multilayer approach enables the creation of sophisticated and ever-changing visual environments with ease.
Beyond its performance, the Tambora Batten is designed with the modern lighting technician in mind. It supports multiple control protocols, including DMX, Art-Net, sACN, RDM, and Kling-Net (pre-installed), and features a built-in web server for easy remote management. The fixture includes five operational modes with channel configurations ranging from 13 to 64, offering both simplified and complex control depending on the application.
Engineered with durability and efficiency, the Tambora Batten features an aluminum and steel housing rated at IP20, making it suitable for a variety of indoor applications. Its cooling system ensures optimal performance in environments ranging from -10°C to 45°C, while a self-charging battery, graphical display, and remote diagnostics add to its operational convenience. With a maximum power consumption of 660VA and high-efficiency optics delivering up to 9,934 lumens, the Tambora Batten achieves an excellent cost-to-performance ratio.
The Claypaky Tambora Batten is a powerful and creative lighting tool designed for stage productions, concerts, television studios, and architectural installations. Its unmatched flexibility, pixel-level effects, and innovative layered control system make it an essential fixture for lighting designers seeking maximum impact and artistic expression.
