Thanks to the double-battery solution, the Helios 7B beams are supplied with power in a redundant arrangement, which makes it possible to remove and change one of the two batteries at any time. The batteries are then charged in the standard DC18RC quick charger from Makita.
Helios 7B creates serious beam effects, but can control each pixel in each colour separately, if required. Thanks to its small size, Helios 7B is extremely fast, but it can also go slowly. With its high-quality Osram LEDs including a lens developed in-house, Helios 7B is an ideal tool for professional applications and has been short listed for the Finals of the PLASA Awards for Innovation.
