ColorWave Technical Specifications

Combine the deep textures of Image Glass and the vibrant saturated colors of Permacolor filters, and the result is ColorWaves™. Taking advantage of the unique color shifting properties of dichroic coatings, ColorWaves project the deep patterns of ImageGlass and add colors that change and swell as the angle of the texture alters. Use ColorWaves in Gobo Rotators for dramatic eye-catching effects.

  • Sharp Focus: Vibrant colors and sharp patterns mixing colors together for aggressive, dominant effects.
     
  • Soft Focus: Run the barrel from sharp to focus and as the patterns softens the colors shift hues and orientation to softly blended multicolor projections.

SPECIFICATIONS

Sizes Available: 86mm Std B Size
Moving Light sizes also available.

Thickness: 2.5 - 4.5mm (depends on specific pattern).

Glass Base: Tempered Soda Lime.

Coating: Dichroic color (TiO2/SiO2).

Resolution: Not applicable.

INSTALLATION

Pattern Holder: Requires Iris Slot Holder.

Orientation: It is recommended to install coating (textured side) towards the lamp.

Handling: Avoid fingerprints. Clean with a soft lint free cloth.

Max Wattage: 575w continuous; 750w short term (less than 20 minutes).

USAGE NOTES

  1. ColorWaves must be used with an Iris Slot Gobo Holder in the Iris slot of ellipsoidal luminaires.
     
  2. When combined with steel gobos, install the steel pattern farthest from the lamp in order to project the steel design in sharp focus.

Image Glass Technical Specifications

Image Glass projects texture and shading. Abstract patterns embossed into heat resistant tempered glass create remarkably varied patterns combining light, shadow, and depth. Unlike steel patterns, these complex textures and tones are achieved with very little light loss.

  • Sharp Focus: Textures etched deeply into the glass can be projected in great detail, rendering sharp, strong abstract patterns more complex than those created using steel gobos.
  • Soft Focus: Running the barrel of your luminaire to a soft focus shows the many possible patterns that can be achieved at various focal points. Deeper patterns have a wider range of textures.

SPECIFICATIONS

Sizes Available: 86mm Std B Size
Moving Light sizes also available.

Thickness: 2.5 - 4.5mm (depends on specific pattern).

Glass Base: Tempered, pressed Soda Lime.

Coating: None.

Resolution: Not applicable.

INSTALLATION

Pattern Holder: Requires Iris Slot Holder.

Orientation: No special orientation required.

Handling: Avoid fingerprints. Clean with a soft lint free cloth.

Max Wattage: 575w continuous; 750w short term (less than 20 minutes).

USAGE NOTES

  1. Image Glass must be used with an Iris Slot Gobo Holder in the Iris slot of ellipsoidal luminaires.
  2. Image Glass used in moving lights are mounted in a metal bezel to facilitate installation.

Prismatics Technical Specifications

Rosco developed Prismatics to combine bright multi-colored accents with depth and texturing created by the dimensionality of the glass chips. Prismatics are made with Permacolor dichroic filter pieces fused onto an hi-temperature glass base. Prismatics in sharp focus project a shattered spectrum, or softly diffused color blends when focused soft.

  • Sharp Focus: Angled, geometric chips project rich saturated colors, rendering sharp, strong abstract patterns.
     
  • Soft Focus: Taken out of focus, Prismatics project soft blends of colorful textures. Prismatics maintain their bright colors, even when focused very softly.

SPECIFICATIONS

Sizes Available: 86mm Std B Size
Moving Light sizes also available (minimum size, 37.5mm).

Thickness: 4.5mm (depends on specific pattern).

Composition: High Temperature, low expansion borosilicate, and dichroic glass chips.

Coating: Colored, dichroic glass chips.

Resolution: Not applicable.

INSTALLATION

Pattern Holder: Requires Iris Slot Holder.

Orientation: Nearest to lamp when combined with a steel gobo.

Handling: Avoid fingerprints. Clean with a soft lint free cloth.

Max Wattage: 575w continuous; 750w short term (less than 20 minutes).

USAGE NOTES

  1. Prismatics must be used with an Iris Slot Gobo Holder in the Iris slot of ellipsoidal luminaires.
  2. When combined with steel gobos, install the steel pattern farthest from the lamp in order to project the steel design in sharp focus.
