Abstract

A stage light fixture is provided with a light source adapted to emit a light beam; with a main body where the light source is arranged; and with a head articulated with respect to the main body and configured to selectively deflect the light beam coming out from the main body.

Claims (23)

1. Stage light fixture ( 1 ) comprising:

a light source ( 11 ) adapted to emit a light beam;

a main body ( 2 ), inside which is arranged the light source ( 11 ); and

a head ( 3 ) articulated with respect to the main body ( 2 ) and configured to selectively deflect the light beam coming out from the main body ( 2 );

wherein the head comprises an objective lens having a first optic axis;

wherein the head comprises a beam deflecting device configured to deflect the light beam coming out from the main body and to align the light beam with the first optic axis of the objective lens;

wherein the beam deflecting device is coupled to a mechanism configured to move the beam deflecting device on the basis of the movement of the head so as to avoid deformations of the light beam coming out from the head.

2. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the head ( 3 ) is rotatable about a first axis (X) and a second axis (Y) that are orthogonal to one another.

3. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the head ( 3 ) is provided with a driving handlebar ( 70 ), configured to move the head ( 3 ) on the basis of the movement imparted to the driving handlebar ( 70 ).

4. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , comprising a control device ( 15 ) configured to regulate the position of the head ( 3 ) with respect to the main body ( 2 ).

5. Stage light fixture according to claim 4 , wherein the control device ( 15 ) is configured to receive controlling signals from a remote driving station.

6. Stage light fixture according to claim 4 , comprising a video camera for filming a scene that is to be lit up by the light beam.

7. Stage light fixture according to claim 6 , wherein the video camera is an infrared video camera.

8. Stage light fixture according to claim 6 , comprising a screen for displaying images acquired by the video camera.

9. Stage light fixture according to claim 6 , wherein the control device ( 15 ) is in communication with the video camera and is configured to determine a position of a projection of the light beam with respect to the scene filmed by the video camera.

10. Stage light fixture according to claim 9 , wherein the control device ( 15 ) is in communication with the screen and is configured to display an indicator corresponding to the position of the projection of the light beam.

11. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) extends along a longitudinal axis (A); the light source ( 11 ) being arranged laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis (A).

12. Stage light fixture according to claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal axis (A) of the main body ( 2 ) is, in use, arranged substantially vertical.

13. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is provided with at least two wheels ( 7 a ).

14. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , comprising a supply unit ( 14 ); the supply unit ( 14 ) being housed inside the main body ( 2 ).

15. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) comprises one or more light beam processing elements ( 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 22 ).

16. Stage light fixture according to claim 15 , wherein the light beam processing elements ( 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 22 ) comprise a diaphragm ( 19 ) and a first optic assembly ( 18 ), arranged between the light source ( 11 ) and the diaphragm ( 19 ) and configured to change the light beam dimensions.

17. Stage light fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the stage light fixture ( 1 ) is a follow spot.
