Detailed Overview of the OPERA Z Series
The OPERA Z Series utilises modern engineering to offer a cohesive family of theatre lights, addressing a range of professional needs.
Indoor Fresnels
Fresnel fixtures have stood the test of time thanks to their soft-edged beams and versatility. The OPERA Z family includes two standout models for indoor use:
- OPERAZ400VWF: This 400W variable white Fresnel excels at smooth colour temperature transitions, making it ideal for dynamic and nuanced lighting environments. Motorised zoom makes beam width adjustments effortless, enhancing adaptability during live shows.
- OPERAZ400FCF: For scenarios where colour variety is critical, the 400W RGBALC option provides advanced colour mixing alongside powerful illumination. It enables custom-driven lighting designs for theatre, broadcast, and architectural applications.
Indoor Profiles
Precision and focus are the hallmarks of profile spots, and the new OPERA Z range delivers:
- OPERAZ200WP: Crafted with a 200W warm white LED source, this profile spot offers beautiful, consistent colour for dramatic emphasis and subtle scene transitions.
- OPERAZ300FCP: With a 300W RGBALC engine, this fixture supports a wide palette of saturated colours and pastel tones, enabling impactful lighting effects with pinpoint accuracy.
Outdoor Profiles
Responding to a growing need for robust, weather-resistant fixtures, the OPERA Z Series presents a trio of profiles built for outdoor use:
- OPERAZ200WP-IP: Compact yet durable, this 200W warm white profile brings nuanced indoor-quality lighting to exterior spaces, ceremony stages, or pop-up events.
- OPERAZ400WP-IP: Doubling the power, this 400W model offers even more output for expansive installations, from amphitheaters to stadium-scale spectacles.
- OPERAZ400FCP-IP: Merging high output with full colour control, this 400W RGBALC profile is engineered for coloured projections and dynamic scenes, all while tolerating tough outdoor conditions (IP65-rated).
