15 Jan 2025 Dubai, January 2025 – Following the global triumph of Cobra, Ayrton has now unveiled Mamba. Described as a versatile lighting concept equipped with a laser source twice as powerful as Cobra, Mamba can deliver a multitude of new psychedelic effects said by the company to be “nothing short of spectacular”. The first laser-sourced IP65 fixture in Ayrton’s 6 Series, Mamba features 18 motors dedicated solely to effects creation, as well as a selection of 92 fixed and rotating metal gobos across two wheels, specifically designed to sculpt light in “beam” mode. An endlessly rotating ovoid animation wheel adds to its arsenal. The gobos can be paired with an initial level of two palettes, each containing four individually rotating, indexable prisms that can be combined. These can then be linked to a second level of four combinable prisms situated at the front of the fixture, enabling the creation of complex volumetric effects. Completing its graphic toolkit are two Frost filters. The fixture introduces a brand-new colour section, including a high-definition gradient CMY mixing system and an instant-access multi-position wheel equipped with 15 complementary colour filters, two multicolour filters, two CTP correctors, a progressive CTO and three multicolour animation sections – RGB, CMY, and RGB+CMY – spread over two concentric circles. Fitted with a 250mm front lens, Mamba’s proprietary 13-lens optical system offers a 21 x zoom range and an operating span from 0.7°–15°. With continuous pan and tilt rotation, this fixture becomes a universal tool. The IP65-rated Mamba operates both outdoors and indoors – even in saline environments – while maintaining full accessibility. Weighing 41kg, it is equipped with a sun protection system and an integrated heating system that withstands temperatures as low as -20 °C. Ayrton’s Catalog www.proavl-mea.com www.ayrton.eu
