ArcPod 8FC

8x8W outdoor compact wash light

ArcPod 8 is a wash light with 8x8W RGBW / FC LEDs source designed for outdoor installations where a high-performance projector with superior brightness and chromatic precision is required. The rectangular shape design and the super-slim profile allows the ArcPod 8 to be easily integrated into any architectonic installation or setting whilst also being functional in outdoor (IP66) environments due to the construction of chassis in die-cast aluminium and tempered glass with no ventilation fans. ARCPOD8 is a compact projector capable of lighting large spaces both as a stage wash in outdoor events and for projects of architectural lighting

Main features:

4D (RGBW) colour mixing
DMX virtual colour wheel
Low 55W power consumption and LED source expected life of over 50.000 hours
User menu and settings are accessed through a 4 button touch-sensitive LED interface while 3 different DMX modes (4 - 10 channel) available
