Abstract

A stage light fixture is provided with a light source adapted to emit a light beam along an optical axis; a reflector coupled to the light source; a diaphragm arranged along the optical axis downstream of the light source; a first optical assembly, which is arranged along the optical axis between the light source and the diaphragm and is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions.

Claims (31)

1. Stage light fixture ( 1 ) comprising:

a light source ( 3 ) adapted to emit a light beam along an optical axis (B);

a reflector ( 4 ) coupled to the light source ( 3 );

a diaphragm ( 10 ) arranged along the optical axis (B) downstream of the light source ( 3 );

a first optical assembly ( 9 ), which is arranged along the optical axis (B) between the light source ( 3 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ) and is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions before the light beam hits the diaphragm in order to change the amount of light passing through the diaphragm.

2. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical assembly ( 9 ) comprises at least a first optical device ( 28 ) and at least a second optical device ( 29 ), which is arranged downstream of the first optical device ( 28 ).

3. Stage light fixture according to claim 2 , wherein the first optical device ( 28 ) is arranged near the light source ( 3 ) and the second optical device ( 29 ) is arranged between the first optical device ( 28 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ).

4. Stage light fixture according to claim 2 , wherein the light source ( 3 ) and the reflector ( 4 ) are configured and coupled one to another so as to emit a light beam focused substantially in the environs of a working point (PL) of light beam; the first optical device ( 28 ) being arranged at said working point (PL).

5. Stage light fixture according to claim 2 , wherein the first optical device ( 28 ) is immobile and the second optical device ( 29 ) is mobile in an axial direction along the optical axis (B).

6. Stage light fixture according to claim 5 , wherein the second optical device ( 29 ) is mobile between a starting position wherein the second optical device ( 29 ) is arranged near the first optical device ( 28 ) and a final position wherein the second optical device ( 29 ) is arranged near the diaphragm ( 10 ).

7. Stage light fixture according to claim 2 , wherein the first optical device comprises a first lens ( 28 ) biconvex.

8. Stage light fixture according to claim 2 , wherein the second optical device comprises a second lens ( 29 ) biconvex.

9. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , comprising a command configured to regulate the first optical assembly ( 9 ).

10. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , comprising a second optical assembly ( 35 ), which is arranged downstream of the diaphragm ( 10 ) along the optical axis (B) and has a focal point (PF); the diaphragm ( 10 ) being arranged at the focal point (PF).

11. Stage light fixture according to claim 10 , wherein the second optical assembly ( 35 ) comprises at least a focusing lens.

12. Stage light fixture according to claim 10 , wherein the second optical assembly ( 35 ) comprises an objective lens ( 5 ).

13. Stage light fixture ( 1 ) comprising:

a light source ( 3 ) adapted to emit a light beam along an optical axis (B);

a reflector ( 4 ) coupled to the light source ( 3 );

a diaphragm ( 10 ) arranged along the optical axis (B) downstream of the light source ( 3 );

a first optical assembly ( 9 ), which is arranged along the optical axis (B) between the light source ( 3 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ) and is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions by either enlarging or concentrating the light beam;

a second optical assembly ( 35 ), which is arranged downstream of the diaphragm ( 10 ) along the optical axis (B) and has a focal point (PF); the diaphragm ( 10 ) being arranged at the focal point (PF), wherein the second optical assembly ( 35 ) comprises a zoom assembly ( 12 ) that is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions by either enlarging or concentrating the light beam before the light beam hits the diaphragm in order to change at least one of the luminosity and uniformity of the light beam projected by the stage light fixture.

14. Method for operating a stage light fixture ( 1 ); the stage light fixture ( 1 ) comprising a light source ( 3 ) adapted to emit a light beam along an optical axis (B); a reflector ( 4 ) coupled to the light source ( 3 ); a diaphragm ( 10 ) arranged along the optical axis (B) downstream of the light source ( 3 ); and a first optical assembly ( 9 ), which is arranged along the optical axis (B) between the light source ( 3 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ) and is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions before the light beam hits the diaphragm; the method comprising the step of regulating the first optical assembly ( 9 ) so as to modify the dimensions of the light beam which hits the diaphragm ( 10 ) on the basis of the stage needs by changing the amount of light passing through the diaphragm so as to change at least one of the luminosity and uniformity of the light beam projected by the stage light fixture, while a size of the light beam projected by the stage light fixture is defined by a size of an opening of the diaphragm.

15. Method according to claim 14 , further comprising a step of regulating an aperture of the diaphragm ( 10 ) so as to block passage of a portion of the light beam which hits on the diaphragm ( 10 ) and has a luminosity inferior to a predetermined threshold value.

16. Stage light fixture ( 1 ) comprising:

a light source ( 3 ) adapted to emit a light beam along an optical axis (B);

a reflector ( 4 ) coupled to the light source ( 3 );

a diaphragm ( 10 ) arranged along the optical axis (B) downstream of the light source ( 3 );

a first optical assembly ( 9 ), which is arranged along the optical axis (B) between the light source ( 3 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ) and is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions by either enlarging or concentrating the light beam before the light beam hits the diaphragm in order to change the amount of light passing through the diaphragm, while a size of the light beam projected by the stage light fixture is defined by a size of an opening of the diaphragm.

17. Stage light fixture according to claim 16 , wherein the first optical assembly ( 9 ) operates a first zoom assembly and comprises at least a first optical device ( 28 ) and at least a second optical device ( 29 ), which is arranged downstream of the first optical device ( 28 ), wherein the first optical device ( 28 ) is immobile and the second optical device ( 29 ) is mobile in an axial direction along the optical axis (B) so as to either enlarge or concentrate the light beam.

18. Stage light fixture according to claim 17 , comprising a second optical assembly ( 35 ), which is arranged downstream of the diaphragm ( 10 ) along the optical axis (B) and has a focal point (PF); the diaphragm ( 10 ) being arranged at the focal point (PF), wherein the second optical assembly ( 35 ) comprises a second zoom assembly ( 12 ) that is configured to selectively change the light beam dimensions by either enlarging or concentrating the light beam.
