Technical specifications:
The Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBA is more than just a decorative light fixture: The vintage-look spotlight offers a unique way to illuminate stages, clubs, and events. The huge reflector will bathe any location in all the colours that can be mixed from red, green, blue, and amber, with the orange tone giving the resulting colour mixtures a nice warm touch. At 50cm, the diameter of the reflector is huge – still, the light is stylishly dimmed by a decorative grid. This bowl is the big sister of the Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 30 RGBA. However, the two spotlights not only differ in terms of their dimensions – the strength of the lamps also varies correspondingly. The unit runs entirely silently, and thanks to its double bracket, it can be used free-standing, suspended, or mounted on a stand.
Perhaps belying its classic looks, the Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBA uses a powerful 60W 4-in-1 RGBA LED to illuminate its 50cm reflector, which is ultimately the actual light source itself, and the metal housing measures 515×670×330mm. The distance between the two double bracket elements cannot be changed, but the bowl of the 8.2kg spotlight can be tilted as desired. Power is supplied via a power twist socket, and further spotlights can be fed from the integrated output. A three-pin input socket and an output socket are installed for DMX control. This decorative spotlight is easy to operate using the four buttons under the small display on the back of the reflector, or via DMX for various more complex modes.
Users don't have to be hosting a vintage bowling party for this Vintage Bowl to provide the right light: Thanks to the lockable power twist connections, the event can get really wild! And hosts who want to devote their attention entirely to their guests will benefit from the automatic music control, which adapts to the beat on the fly and has adjustable microphone sensitivity. Organisers of larger events such as galas can light up multiple Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBAs in unison with the master-slave mode. 42 automatic and fade programmes – the tempo of which can be configured at will – provide plenty of variety, and all kinds of clubs, theatres, and venues will find they can create finely nuanced and uniquely suitable moods using the DMX-driven four-colour LEDs on four, six, or even eight channels.
Since it was introduced in 1994, Thomann's in-house brand Stairville has been a permanent fixture in the store's product range. The brand primarily focuses on the field of stage lighting in general, and its products include spotlights, moving lights, and theatre lighting as well as smoke machines, electronic control systems, and every other accessory you can think of. Thomann constantly has around 1,600 Stairville products on offer, and the figures speak for themselves: Statistically, one in every fifteen Thomann customers owns at least one Stairville product. Incidentally, the name "Stairville" is also a catchy English translation of "Treppendorf", the town that Thomann calls home.
Nightclub owners looking to add some particularly stylish effects to their lighting arrays can simply install a couple of Vintage Bowls in a prominent position on stage. The two different sizes – alongside the larger Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBA, there's also a smaller 30 RGBA option – mean there will be a suitable configuration for every space. The handsome bowls cut a fine figure on side drops, walls, or columns. But they are not just good-looking: The Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBA can be combined with an existing lighting console via DMX cables (sold separately). The comprehensive eight-channel mode gives lighting techs carte blanche to light up the night just the way they like it: The first four channels control the individual colours, with channel five running the colour macros. The sixth fader manages the strobe effects with adjustable speed settings; the seventh slider is responsible for fades, automatic programmes, and the sound-to-light function. Finally, the eighth fader is used to determine the luminaire's overall brightness.
