Product Overview:

The ROBE BMFL Blade is an advanced moving head fixture that sets a high standard for high-output, precision lighting in large-scale events, concerts, and theatrical productions. Equipped with a compact short-arc metal halide lamp, the BMFL Blade offers outstanding brightness, with a 6,000K color temperature and a CRI of 92+, providing a clear and vibrant output. This fixture is designed to produce sharp, well-defined beams that can cut through even the most dynamic and complex stage effects.

The BMFL Blade features a powerful zoom optical system with an 11:1 zoom ratio, allowing for an adjustable beam angle from 5° to 55°. With its innovative framing shutters, the fixture can create highly precise shapes and effects; each of the four blades can be independently positioned and rotated ±45°, enabling clean and adjustable framing for projected images. The addition of a variable CTO feature (2,700K to 6,000K) and a range of color options—through two color wheels—ensures creative flexibility with vibrant colors and subtle tone adjustments.

For added visual impact, the BMFL Blade includes a rotating 6-facet circular prism and a 6-facet linear prism that can rotate in both directions at different speeds, enhancing in-air effects. The fixture also includes a separate animation wheel, which can be used alone or combined with gobos to create dynamic, swirling patterns.

With motorized focus and dual blade dimming systems, the BMFL Blade ensures seamless transitions and smooth dimming. It is equipped with comprehensive DMX control, ArtNet, and RDM protocols, making it adaptable to various rigging setups and control systems. The built-in analyser simplifies fault detection, while its precise pan (540°) and tilt (270°) movements deliver unparalleled coverage and flexibility.
