Product Overview
The SHOWGUN ® fixture from High End Systems is a very powerful 100,000+ lumen automated
light that can project images, change and mix dichroic colors, and switch from hard-edge to
soft-edge all within a compact system. SHOWGUN provides high-energy focused or soft edge
washes and gobo projection with a 10 inch (250 mm) output beam, and an innovative LED
Tracking System.
A new patent pending optical design incorporates a proprietary, optically accurate polymer
microfresnel lens allowing SHOWGUN fixtures to produce a true focused hard-edge or a soft-
edge combination, without the need for two separate fixture types. The true focused hard-edge
allows SHOWGUN to project High End Systems Lithopattern images, while the soft-edge abilities
exceed industry standards. Soft edge/hard edge "enabling" for SHOWGUN fixtures is easily
accomplished from any lighting console.
The SHOWGUN LED Tracking System is a homogeneously mixed RGB LED circular array that you
can match to the color of the main output beam, or use to project a complementary color by
mixing RGB values. Producing over 5000 lumens of output, the LED Tracking System works in
tandem with the SHOWGUN fixture's other features.
The SHOWGUN fixture’s main output uses a 2000 watt short arc metal halide lamp with a
FastFit™ socket design that allows for a more compact reflector combination.
