The TMH BSW-380 is one of the new moving heads in the range of Eurolite. The BSW in the name stands for Beam, Spot and Washlight. The new moving head is therefore beam, spot and washlight in one device. As a true all-rounder, it creates varied lighting effects. The number 380 indicates the power class; an extremely bright Osram Sirius 371 watt discharge lamp is installed. A 16-bit resolution with PAN of 540° and TILT of 230° allows the moving head to move quickly and precisely to any desired position with its powerful motors and automatic position correction.
A wide range of control options ensures convenient operation. In addition to control via DMX with 22 or 26 channels, the all-rounder can also be used in standalone operation with master/slave function. Of course, the device also has a music-controlled mode. Integrated show programs can be played without further intervention and thus enable a varied light show. Functions and settings are configured via the color display with four control buttons on the front. furthermore, the moving head can be retrofitted for wireless DMX operation.
In terms of equipment, too, this moving head has been designed with the utmost care. Thus, 3 gobo wheels are installed alone. The first gobo wheel offers 11 static gobos, the second 7 rotating gobos and the third gobo wheel 4 static gobos and an area that allows animations. The latter creates movement in the projection, which alone, but also in combination with the other gobos, creates eye-catching effects. For example, a sensational water effect is created in combination with a textured glass gobo that is also present and a prism. But also a kind of fire effect and many other moving images can be realized by this.
The TMH BSW-380 also has 2 rotating prisms. The first prism splits the image into 8 images, the second into 16. In addition, the moving head offers a motorized zoom that ranges from 4° to 35°.
In beam mode, it achieves a hard, concentrated beam with intentional hotspot. The static gobo wheel is available for further shaping the light beam, and the rotating prisms can be used for dynamics. As soon as the second or third gobo wheel is used, the spotlight automatically switches to spot mode. In this mode, the images are then absolutely even and clean, ideal for projections. All three gobo wheels can be combined here. The motorized focus ensures the necessary sharpness in all areas.
With the frost filter, the BSW-380 from Eurolite becomes a wash light. Even in this mode, the light output remains surprisingly bright, by the way. The image can also be adjusted in size with the frost filter thanks to the zoom and colored thanks to the color wheel. A total of 13 colors are available on this, all of which can also be set in intermediate positions.
