Abstract

A light fixture, preferably for stage, includes a source assembly, configured to emit at least one light beam along an emission direction and a mixing assembly arranged downstream of the source assembly along the emission direction and being configured to mix at least one light beam emitted by the source assembly. The light fixture further includes a color assembly comprising at least one color device configured to selectively color the light beam passing through it. The color assembly is arranged between the source assembly and the mixing assembly.

Claims (21)

1. A light fixture, preferably for stage, comprising:

a source assembly ( 10 ), configured to emit at least one light beam along an emission direction (D);

a mixing assembly ( 13 ) arranged downstream of the source assembly ( 10 ) along the emission direction (D) and configured to mix at least one light beam emitted by the source assembly ( 10 ), wherein the mixing assembly ( 13 ) comprises a plurality of lenses arranged side-by-side so as to form an array of lenses;

a colour assembly ( 18 ) comprising at least one colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) configured to selectively colour the light beam passing through it; the colour assembly ( 18 ) being arranged between the source assembly ( 10 ) and the mixing assembly ( 13 ); and

a collimator assembly ( 12 ) associated with the source assembly ( 10 ) and configured to straighten at least one incoming light beam, the collimator assembly ( 12 ) comprising an array of lenses ( 28 ) that are arranged between the mixing assembly ( 13 ) and the source assembly ( 10 ).

2. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the colour assembly ( 18 ) comprises a plurality of colour devices ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) configured to selectively colour the light beam passing through them.

3. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) comprises at least one first filter ( 37 a , 37 b , 37 c , 37 d ; 47 a , 47 b , 47 c ) configured to transmit light radiation having wavelengths comprised in at least one first respective band.

4. The light fixture according to claim 3 , wherein each colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) is rotatable about a respective axis of rotation (C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 ).

5. The light fixture according to claim 4 , wherein the first filter ( 37 a , 37 b , 37 c , 37 d ; 47 a , 47 b , 47 c ) is configured to create a progressive change of colour in the beam passing through it during the rotation of the respective colour device.

6. The light fixture according to claim 3 , wherein the colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) comprises at least one non colour changing portion ( 49 a , 49 b , 49 c ).

7. The light fixture according to claim 3 , wherein the colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ) comprises at least one second filter ( 48 a , 48 b , 48 c ) selected from the group comprising: a hot filter configured to reduce the colour temperature of the transiting light beam, a cold filter configured to increase the colour temperature of the transiting light beam, a Wood filter, a diffusing filter configured to diffuse the transiting light beam, a holographic filter, and a colour filter configured to block predefined wavelengths so as to colour the transiting light beam.

8. The light fixture according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one non colour changing portion ( 49 a , 49 b , 49 c ) comprises a recess that is open along a peripheral outer edge of the respective colour device ( 45 a , 45 b , 45 c , 45 d ; 45 a , 45 b , 45 c ).

9. The light fixture according to claim 1 , comprising a condenser assembly ( 16 ) arranged downstream of the mixing assembly ( 13 ) along the emission direction (D) and configured to concentrate at least one entering light beam.

10. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the source assembly ( 10 ) comprises a single light source.

11. The light fixture according to claim 10 , comprising a parabolic reflector associated with the light source.

12. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the source assembly ( 10 ) comprises a plurality of light sources ( 25 ).

13. The light fixture according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of light sources ( 25 ) is arranged in the same plane.

14. The light fixture according to claim 12 , wherein the light sources of the plurality of light sources ( 25 ) are LED or LARP light sources.

15. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lenses of the mixing assembly ( 13 ) each has a shape selected from the group consisting of square and hexagonal.

16. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lenses define a monolithic element.

17. The light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein each lens of the plurality of lenses projects an image proportional to a shape of the lens and overlapping of the projected images determines mixing of the at least one light beam.
