CHROMARANGE FEATURES
ChromaRange fixtures utilise specially selected high-efficiency
LEDs, comprised of a mixture of Red, Green and Blue types to allow
endless RGB colour mixing – making 16.7 million colours possible
Other LED combinations are also available for specialist applications
such as Variable White (VW) and RGB+VW for ultimate flexibility.
Pulsar's advanced electronic design and thermal management
techniques mean that the high quality LEDs in ChromaRange
fixtures have an expected life of 25,000 hours at continuous full
power white, which increases to 100,000 hours when the fixture is
dimmed or producing coloured light as in normal use.
The fixtures are exceptionally robust, durable and very cost effective
– making them easy to install, run and maintain. There is no lamp to
change and heat output is minimal.
Pulsar’s totally flicker-free electronics produce a continuous, smooth,
