Moving head hire — Equinox Fusion 260ZR MKII wash

A moving head wash gives you colour that covers people rather than a hard beam that picks them out. The Fusion 260ZR MKII carries 19 quad-colour LEDs behind a 6 to 50 degree motorised zoom, so the same fixture works on a low village hall bar or across a school hall from the back. Pan, tilt, zoom and colour all sit on DMX. It hires at £20 per day, dry or with a technician.

The Equinox Fusion 260ZR MKII is an LED moving head wash built around 19 quad-colour RGBW emitters, set in three concentric rings behind a motorised zoom running from a tight 6 degrees out to a 50 degree flood. That range is what makes it useful in real rooms. Pull the zoom in for a narrow shaft of colour across a stage, or open it wide to cover a dance floor from a low bar without hard edges.

Colour mixing runs from soft pastels to deep saturates. Dimming is 0 to 100 per cent with four selectable curves, and the head gives 540 degrees of pan and 270 degrees of tilt on 16-bit positioning.

Four DMX modes suit most desks: 2, 8, 17 or 25 channels. Eight channels covers pan, tilt, zoom, master dimmer and RGBW, which is plenty for a school or community rig. Twenty-five channels opens the three LED rings separately for chases and pattern effects. Auto, sound-active and master/slave modes are there when no desk is available.

DMX is 3-pin XLR in and out, mains is PowerTwist in and out, and up to six fixtures can be power linked from one run at 240V. Each head draws 290W and weighs 9.7kg, so it rigs on a standard bar with a clamp and a safety bond. Fans are temperature controlled and reasonably quiet for the output, though this is still a fan-cooled moving head, so think about placement over quiet dialogue. Indoor use only.

Hire by the day, on its own or with a technician to rig, patch and operate.

What you get

The fixture, with a mains lead
Omega clamp brackets as supplied with the unit — tell us what you are rigging to and we will confirm the hook clamps
A safety bond for any overhead position: ask when you book if you do not have your own
DMX cabling to link fixtures and reach your desk — let us know the distances and we will sort the run
Not included as standard: lighting desk, stands or truss, and a DMX terminator. All can be added
A technician to rig, patch, focus and operate, if you would rather not run it yourselves

Good for

School and academy annual shows where the hall bar needs colour as well as coverage
Dance school showcases: saturated back light that changes with each number
Youth theatre and am-dram productions wanting movement and colour without a full spot rig
Village halls and low stages, where the zoom has to open wide to cover from close range
Prize-givings, awards evenings and school discos in a sports hall
Adding a few moving fixtures to an existing generic rig for one production

What you need to know

What it does
A moving wash light: colour that covers people rather than a hard beam that picks them out, on a head that pans and tilts from the desk.
Beam
Motorised zoom from a tight pool to a wide wash, so one fixture covers a soloist or a whole stage without being re-rigged.
Power
290 watts. Up to six can be linked from one mains run.
Control
DMX. Eight channels covers pan, tilt, zoom, dimmer and colour, which is plenty for a school rig. There is an auto and a sound-active mode if you have no desk.
Where it goes
9.7 kg, so it hangs on a standard bar or stands on a floor plate. No special rigging.

Alternatives

Equinox Fusion 300FXP — the same zooming wash idea with a pixel-ring party trick — chases and eye-candy effects as well as flat colour.

Martin Mac 250 Krypton — the budget moving spot — cheap enough per head to hire as a matched rig of several.
