Whether it's the State Opera House of Paris or Vienna, Hamburg's Thalia Theater, Berlin's Deutsches Theater, the Schauspielhaus of Basel and Zürich, the Champs-Élysées Theater in Paris, or the TV stations ZDF in Mainz and ORF in Vienna - at all of these illustrious venues and more, you will find Amptown ControLite Washlights HP/HX Squarcle in operation!

The HX Squarcle is a multifunctional Fresnel spotlight that comes in a black powder-coated aluminum-sheet housing; its 600W halogen lamp (color temperature 3200°K) has exceptional light output due to the coated elliptical glass filter. Replacing the lamp is simple thanks to the two quarter-turn locks that, once loosened, allow the fixture's lamp mount to be pulled out and lowered at a 90° angle, making the lamp freely accessible. When the fixture requires service, all essential components are easy to reach, as all housing coverings are equipped with 4 quarter-turn locks, meaning there are no screws that can fall out and get lost. The extremely compact spotlight base comes with DMX 512 control signal input and output (XLR 5-pin version) and power-supply cable. A safety wire can be attached via M12 bolt mounting clamps located at the 6 through-holes. The spotlight is integrated into a motorized yoke. Its two powerful servo motors provide movement of 340° pan and 270° tilt with 16-bit resolution. Electronics for the driver motors, an electronic dimmer as well as the electronic power supply are contained within the yoke, which has an externally accessible control panel for setting the DMX address and test functions plus LED controls. The LED controls indicate the status of the DMX signal, the servo and stepper motors, and the lamp. The Washlight HX has a motorized 200mm Fresnel lens that allows for a dipless beam angle ranging from 9° to 36°. The fixture is equipped with CMY color mixing. Dichroic filter roundels whose saturation can be increased allow the entire color spectrum to be produced in extremely uniform quality. The fixture's name, "Squarcle", is a combination of "square" and "circle", and describes the luminaire's ability to form a square out of a round beam of light through its integrated barndoor effect. The beam of light can be shaped via 4 flaps, each of which can be controlled independently of the others. In addition, the barndoor module can be rotated 180°, thus allowing for optimal presentation of classic barndoor effects. The Washlight HX Squarcle spotlight is completely convection cooled (no built-in fans), which means that fixture noise is reduced to an absolute minimum. Control protocol is DMX 512. The fixture is very compact and weighs a mere 21 kg, making it truly easy to handle.
