Product Overview

The SHOWGUN® fixture from High End Systems is a very powerful 100,000+ lumen automated light that can project images, change and mix dichroic colors, and switch from hard-edge to soft-edge all within a compact system. SHOWGUN provides high-energy focused or soft edge washes and gobo projection with a 10 inch (250 mm) output beam, and an innovative LED Tracking System.

A new patent pending optical design incorporates a proprietary, optically accurate polymer microfresnel lens allowing SHOWGUN fixtures to produce a true focused hard-edge or a soft- edge combination, without the need for two separate fixture types. The true focused hard-edge allows SHOWGUN to project High End Systems Lithopattern images, while the soft-edge abilities exceed industry standards. Soft edge/hard edge "enabling" for SHOWGUN fixtures is easily accomplished from any lighting console.

The SHOWGUN LED Tracking System is a homogeneously mixed RGB LED circular array that you can match to the color of the main output beam, or use to project a complementary color by mixing RGB values. Producing over 5000 lumens of output, the LED Tracking System works in tandem with the SHOWGUN fixture's other features.

The SHOWGUN fixture’s main output uses a 2000 watt short arc metal halide lamp with a FastFit™ socket design that allows for a more compact reflector combination.
