PanaBeam? XR2+ is Morpheus Lights high-output washlight that offers an unrivaled combination of unique features to the imaginative designer. For starters, it literally spins circles around its competition with continuous 360-degree pan and continuous 360-degree tilt... and it's fast...really fast.
The XR2+ uses high quality multi-channel commutators - which dramatically increase reliability by eliminating both the twisting of wire harnesses in the fixture yoke and the need for mechanical stops to protect those harnesses. Its high-performance drive system, with oversized, high torque servomotors, make the XR2+ the fastest moving 1200 watt fixture on the market.
Morpheus is widely known for superior color mixing systems. PanaBeam? XR2+ continues that tradition with its wide gamut dichroic CYM plus extended range CTO color system. This combination delivers an unmatched range of deep saturates - with real reds as well as subtle pastels.
SO WHAT'S WITH THE ??+?
We added the ??+ when we reengineered the original PanaBeam?XR2 to take advantage of Philips' MSR Gold 1200 SA/SE FastFit technology. This shorter short-arc lamp, in combination with our electroformed dichroic reflector produces 80% more output than the original XR2. That's a big plus! The FastFit socket ensures an extremely precise lamp position while making lamp replacement a snap.
The proprietary optical system of PanaBeam?XR2+ is like no other - delivering maximum light output across all beam angles. We add to this a three-stage effects system, which includes two dynamic stages, each with four rotating, indexable elements plus a third stage with frost and static elements. The system also features fully indexable or continuously rotatable anamorphic beam shaping and two-axis soft edge projection. The shaping lenses can be arranged in such a way to create defined oval or even square wash beam shapes.
With a powder coated aluminum chassis, composite covers, and integral handles, the PanaBeam? XR2+ is built for touring and professional applications.

Used Moving Lights
Moving lights, or intelligent lighting as they are sometimes called, are basically a type of stage lighting that is able to move due to its integrated mechanical elements, which go beyond the moving parts that are found in more traditional, non-moving lighting.
Automated lighting such as moving lights is highly valued by stage lighting technicians as through them, it is possible to create highly complex special effects that simply cannot be made using standard, non-moveable lights. It should be noted however, that when it comes to intelligent lighting, the real intelligence lies with the programmer of the show, rather than the lighting equipment or any operator.
Moving head lights, also called moving head luminaires, are highly versatile lighting instruments capable of performing multiple lighting functions at once. They have largely superseded the use of multiple non-moving lights to create special effects, which required many lights and a large amount of skill on behalf of the operators.
Moving lights are hooked up to a lighting control console and send data to it in one of three ways â?? through an Ethernet control (a relatively new technology), analogue control (now almost obsolete), or DMX, (which is now the industry standard).
So long as they have been properly programmed, the optics of wiggly lights can be altered in many ways, allowing for the â??personalityâ?ť of the lights to be adapted almost instantaneously, depending on the requirements of the operator. Typically, moving lights will be pre-programmed before a production and controlled using simple commands, although some more experience operators may prefer to control them â??liveâ?ť, if they have the experience to do so.
