Since arriving at Gigawatt Sound & Lighting, a dozen Ayrton Mistrals have delivered fabulousness all around Brisbane. From The Big Gay Day to Peking Duk to The Presets, the Mistrals have made their mark.
At 18.6kg and a compact size, Mistral outputs a spectacular 17,000lm, which aligns it with 800W/1000W discharge fixtures. The Mistral is a versatile, ultra-compact, and fully equipped LED spot luminaire designed for applications requiring perfect colour reproduction.
“We had a gap in our inventory where we needed an LED spot profile,” explained Ben Finlay, Director of Gigawatt. “We surveyed several brands and models; however, the optics on the Ayrton were through the roof compared to the other brands! That was probably the biggest selling point. It means the gobos are always crisp. I’d always liked Ayrton products and was one of the first people to buy their product in Australia.”
Ben reports that the Ayrton Mistrals are a great-looking fixture, adding that the gobos are excellent, the punch is outstanding, and they produce incredible colours.
“The Mistral’s colours, and the way they quickly snap through those colours, are fantastic,” he said. “You can attain well-saturated colours without losing intensity. They also have great zoom, from covering a wide area to a narrow beam.”
Ben remarked that the Mistral fit his business perfectly, both in size and versatility, and its light weight means it can be handled by one person. Quite simply, he is astounded by the numerous features packed into such a small, yet reliable and cost-effective fixture.
