"We know we created something special with the Aurora series in 2015, so we wanted to provide new Aurora fixtures that were still affordable, simple, safe and bright," Adam Raugh, president of X-Laser USA, said. "We decided to go with classic red, green and blue options because those colors are consistently the most used and most versatile."
The Aurora Crimson illuminates with 800mW of radiant red beams, while the Aurora Cobalt shines with 1200mW of bold blue. The Aurora Emerald, with 40 percent more power than the Aurora 4G, projects 280mW of gleaming green. For vibrant aerial beam shows with wide coverage or projecting bold liquid skies, the new quad-aperture Aurora models are up to the task.
Also new for 2017 is the Aurora Saber, which is a bolder alternative to the popular Caliente Aurora. The Aurora Saber boasts beams that are more than three times thicker than those of any previous Aurora model, making the Aurora Saber suitable for attention-grabbing aerial beam shows. While the Aurora Saber projects from only one aperture, it creates seven-colour TTL effects to provide operators more creative lighting options.
The Aurora Crimson, Aurora Emerald, Aurora Cobalt and Aurora Saber all feature nine-channel DMX control as well as deep automatic and sound-active modes. All four of the new Aurora models also stay true to the X-Laser Aurora series' horizontal-only scanning.
