RawBeam 350
the racing machine
After more than 15 years of success with discharge-lamp luminaires for applications demanding high-intensity beams, and with well over a hundred thousand units in service, the planned obsolescence of that type of source has forced our industry to radically rethink its philosophy.
In 2017, Ayrton created the first digital luminaire capable of replacing those outmoded light sources. But it was in 2022, with Cobra and its immediate worldwide success, that we established this new technology for the long term, followed by the consecutive launches of Kyalami and Mamba. Today, building on those achievements and with more than 20,000 laser-source luminaires sold, we are entering a new era with this technology and the creation of RawBeam 350: a brand-new digital luminaire with less extreme characteristics, designed for more versatile applications. Thanks to its unique design and aluminium structure, RawBeam 350 establishes itself as the lightest and best-equipped fixture in its category.Like all Ayrton luminaires since 2023, RawBeam 350 was developed as an ultra-compact, versatile luminaire capable of operating in all outdoor and indoor conditions, including saline environments, while maintaining full accessibility and an astonishing weight of just 25.4 kg.
RawBeam 350 delivers exceptional illuminance of 1,340,000 lux at 10 metres. It is equipped with a 160 mm front lens, while the proprietary 13-lens optical system offers a 40x zoom range and an operating span from 1.1° to 45°.
Built around essential functions, RawBeam 350 offers extensive equipment and features a CMY colour-mixing system and an ultra-fast gradient CTO on discs, enabling perfect colour reproduction. A wheel of 15 complementary colours, a multi-colour RGB-CMY animation section, and a CTB correction filter complete the set of tools dedicated to colour. RawBeam 350 is equipped with multiple graphic tools, including 10 rotating gobos and 25 fixed gobos, 4 beam reducers, and an animation wheel that allow you to sculpt the light. The gobos can be combined with two sets of three combinable rotating image-multiplying prisms, creating a multitude of complex volumetric effects for truly breathtaking looks. Two Frost filters complete the palette of graphic tools. Incomparable, unrivalled, and without equal, RawBeam 350 is probably the most exciting luminaire of the moment: a precision mechanism built for competition, shaped by talented engineers, delivering a genuine connection to absolute pleasure.
