Cotelux Lighting
Cotelux fluorescent light: the best choice
You cannot imagine how many advantages Cotelux Cool light systems can offer you, until you’ve worked with them…
- It’s not only the great light output obtained, but also the quality of the light. Even when the fixture heats up, the colour temperature remains the same, so the chromatic quality is not interfered.
- Total compatibility with incandescent or discharge lamps when using the colour balanced series 930, in order to allow any possible combinations with other equipments based in incandescence.
- Four different types of dimming versions are available for a perfect control of the light: manual regulation, internal regulation 0-10V, external regulation through cut phase dimmers, or digital regulation with protocol DMX-512. Also a wide range of accessories help to obtain different lighting purposes.
- Complete flicker free regulation due to the use of electronic ballasts working at high frequency, which avoids damaged shootings.
- The Fast Replaceable Ballast system patented by Cotelux allows quick changes of the dimming version in the same fixture with only changing the removable modules found in the back part of all the Studio systems. This benefit also helps easy maintenance of the ballast and control registries.
The use of Cotelux lighting systems directly means a great investment for the future. Note the following:
- The fluorescent bulbs to be used by Cotelux provide a luminous spectrum with RA higher than 95 (full spectrum true original colours), with no need to use corrective filters. It is also noticeable the life of a fluorescent bulb: 10.000h. Quite the opposite, incandescent bulbs have a medium life of 100h, and their cost is much higher.
- When setting a new studio with Cotelux, the expenses in wiring installations and in electrical power will decrease amazingly as they use 75% less energy than incandescent lights. Additionally, incandescence needs powerful air-conditioning systems as it wastes 90% of the energy generating heat. It is also true that actors, anchormen or interviewed prefer cool light in order to reduce perspiration and avoid make-up retouches.
No doubt, Cotelux lighting systems are a great investment for the future, amortized before their installation.
Studio Panels
Simply Talented |
As the most
polyvalent fixtures of all the Cotelux lighting systems, the Studio
line offers four different models than combined with all the wide
range of accessories, will certainly be the best solution for any
lighting purpose.
From big to
small studios, from low ceiling to big heights, mixed with
incandescence or alone. For circle lighting, row, spot or cyclorama.
For main light, rear light or spot. For all this possible existing
combinations, Cotelux has the ideal fixture and dimming version in
order to obtain supreme lighting results in new installations or in
equipped studios.
-
LD:
Local dimming in the same panel through a potentiometer set in the
control module of the projector.
-
ID:
Internal dimming: remote regulation through tension control 0-10V
proceeding from analogical control desks. LD version also
incorporated.
-
ED:
remote regulation through conventional cut phase dimmers.
-
DMX:
remote regulation through digital protocol DMX-512. ID and LD
dimming versions also incorporated.
Due to the
careful design of the Studio range, several parts of its
architecture have been improved and optimised with the purpose of
increasing the performance. Ventilation small grids are
strategically situated so to allow the lost of heat by convection,
which at the same time helps the colour temperature of the tubes
remain constant. The generous assortment of accessories (reflective
barndoor and corner, gel frame, eggcrate, or honeycombs) are
effortlessly assembled through the lateral door, allowing changes in
just a few minutes. Less time will take the replacement of any
ballast or control module, due to the FRBS featured in all the
models of the Studio line. If required, pole operated yokes are
supplied for pan and tilt movements. |

Re-light an idea |
It’s not just the name that makes the difference, it’s considering for the first time the practic use of a fixture and
designing every particular detail for it...
About the
structure...
Built with 8mm material and U shape aluminium
pieces protecting the corners, provides the panel with more
consistency and durability, and makes it safer against breakage. The
base of the parabolic is painted with white serigraphic paint, and
strategically situated velcro straps allows a perfect folding of the
Cotelux Film, making it easy to store and at the same time
protecting the inside. The adapting plate is also reinforced in
order to have a safer fixing to the panel.
About the
eggcrate...
The 0.5 mm aluminium used in the manufacturing of
the eggcrate accessory, allows an important increase in the amount
of light, besides avoiding fractures while manipulating it. Remove
it easily by pulling the velcro.
The ballast
box...
Ending with a circular multipin compatible connector,
the ballast box includes the best benefits for the electronics. One
fuse per fluorescent tube avoids useless panels when a ballast gets
damaged, because it can still continue working with the other
bulbs.
Also note the three
positions of the switch ON-STAND BY-OFF. Use the “Stand By” mode for
saving time and money: time because in this position, the tubes are
not completely disconnected from power, so they will project the
perfect colour temperature with no need to wait for a long time.
Moneyy because this special pre-heat of the tubes makes them have a
longer life time.

Accessories
|
Moulding light |
Cotelux intelligent accessories are an essential tool to obtain the lighting purposes desired for every different scene and atmosphere. They are easily assembled by opening the lateral door of a Cotelux Studio and sliding the accessory into the rail of the projector. No doubt, accessories can transform the projector so as to offer different possibilities of use by moulding light.
-
Barn doors: made of mirror polished aluminium, they are used in order to intensify the dispersed light, and to focus and direct it to a determined distance, reducing the angle beam of the projector, and therefore improving the performance in long distances. The four leaves of Cotelux barn doors are adjustable in order to allow their movement when varying the focusing point. This variation can be done symmetrically when lighting perpendicularly to the projector’s surface, or asymmetrically when the lighting point is not perpendicular to the projector, like in cyclorama lighting.
-
Corners: the four mirror polished aluminium corners are used to symmetrically fix the barn doors in the angle where the maximum focusing of the light in achieved. It also takes advantage of the light that could be lost in the corners in order to improve the light output in the focused point.
-
Honeycombs: honeycombs reduce the angle lit until 20º, 30º, 40º or 60º projecting the light forward, emulating the effects of fresnel projectors, and eliminating the reflected light in the camera proceeding from back lights.
-
Eggcrates: with the same utility and operating of a honeycomb, but just in 60º squared cells, an eggcrates is an economical version of a grid, but offering lower precision when reducing the angle lit.
-
Gel frame: rigid base to introduce any colour filter.
-
Pole operator: this strong yoke is used in high ceiling studios where manual operating of pan and tilt becomes hard work. With the remote control, all Cotelux Studio lighting systems can rotate and tilt 360º around its centre without barn doors.
