The Kobold DW 800 IP 54 all-weather rated production HMI system has now been adapted for event applications. The new DE 800 system can be configured as a multiple rack mount, or as the new stand-alone yoke-mounted system.

The Kobold DE 800 HMI luminaire has the output of 2,000W of tungsten, and draws only 8.9A at 110V, creating a very high output daylight source with very low power consumption. The DE 800 can be configured as a PAR, utilizing five lenses to shape the light beam, or as an open-face that uses the DE 800's full focusing range of 12-70 degrees to flood and spot the beam.

Several different ballasts can power the DW 800; the EWB 400-575-800 is IP 43-rated and is suitable for outdoor events where inclement weather is possible. The EBE 400-575-800 DMX and EBE 200-400-575-800 DMX electronic ballasts offer the user an option of DMX on/off and dimming. All Kobold ballasts have auto-selecting voltage input from 90-265 VAC. They have 40% dimming, either by DMX or by the face mounted manual control. The Kobold 800 System in ETL US/C listed.
