USHIO America Introduces Takumi-2000 Xenon Followspot

Cypress, CA, November 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- USHIO America, a leader in the specialty and general lighting marketplaces, introduces the Takumi-2000 Xenon Followspot. This 2kW xenon followspot has its roots in Japanese followspot manufacturing dating back to 1965. It features easy maneuverability and handling due to the smallest and lightest design in its class.

The smart balance feature allows the operator to set their own customized neutral position for superior ergonomics and individual tuning to the specific venue. An achromatic lens and advanced iris gives a sharp-edged and uniform spot. The optical system was optimized to increase the maximum light output by incorporating the reflector, lenses, and USHIO xenon lamp as a uniform system. The douser cutter utilizes a unique blade shape to create smooth and uniform mechanical dimming. The universal power supply automatically reduces the current in half when either the iris, douser, or framing shutter are closed resulting in reduced energy consumption, and extended life of the lamp and fixture parts. Together these product features make the Takumi-2000 the best choice when purchasing a medium throw followspot today.
