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).

Essential Features and User Advantages

The OPERA Z Series is engineered for reliability, flexibility, and ease-of-use—a trio essential to professional theatre lights. Here’s what users can expect:

• Event Lighting 3 Year Warranty: Each product is covered by a robust three-year manufacturer’s warranty, protecting your investment and ensuring peace of mind.
• True1 + 5 Pin DMX: All fixtures come with industry-preferred True1 and 5-pin DMX in/out, making integration with existing rigs straightforward.
• Motorised Zoom: Selected Fresnels provide motorised zoom, permitting instant adjustment of beam angles without manual intervention.
• Customisable Accessories: Profile units include a standard gel holder, while optional iris and gobo holders are available separately for further creative control.
• Backwards-Compatible Lens System: The new PSLII1540MK2 lens (standard with all full-size profiles) is fully backwards-compatible, letting previous Event Lighting customers upgrade lenses without replacing entire fixtures.

Designing with Versatility: Practical Benefits for Every Production

Professional productions often confront a mix of challenges: changing scripts, evolving set designs, and tight installation turnarounds. Lighting systems must keep pace. OPERA Z lights address these challenges with:

• Flexible Beam Shaping: The included 15-40 degree lens system in profile spots supports a wide spectrum of throw distances, covering anything from intimate black box theatres to large performance venues.
• Colour Precision: RGBALC technology ensures colour mixing that remains vibrant and true-to-source, critical for mood creation and visual storytelling.
• Rugged Construction: IP65-rated outdoor profiles expand your creative options beyond the proscenium arch, enabling elaborate exterior events without compromise or concern for weather disruptions.
