The Alpha Spot QWO 800 uses the latest FastFit single-ended MSR Platinum lamp—an 800W light source that produces an intense sparkling light, brighter even than older 1200W lamps. Additionally, the Alpha Spot QWO 800 is equipped with optical features that place this luminaire at the very top of its class, including:

• A very wide zoom range from 7.6° to 55°
• Uniform beam distribution at all zoom angles
• A unique Stay-Sharp-Zoom feature that locks images in focus while zooming

Add to that the lamp's ability to reproduce highly detailed images, and the Alpha Spot QWO 800 becomes a brilliantly effective graphics projector. For that reason we decided not to skimp on the effects included: two glass gobo wheels (one rotating), an animation wheel, a rotating prism and a number of color options including a full CMY system, a color wheel and a variable CTO system.

The beam's size can be altered using the slick, 16-blade iris that provides a more rounded, continuous hard edge. For soft-edged projections, there is a variable frost, while accurate dimming is achievable via an electrical-mechanical hybrid dimmer. Making the most of these features is the Dyna-Cue-Creator, a powerful tool that not only speeds up programming, but automatically synchronizes effects in a way that would be very complex to program manually.

The Alpha Spot QWO 800 has two other vital features. First, it is one of the quietest automated luminaires in existence. It never exceeds 42dBa and runs even more quietly while operating at half power (400W). Its second advantage is its small, compact size—no bigger than an Alpha 700. Usually, fixtures with such a rich set of features are housed in large, bulky frames—instead, the Alpha 800's slim, compact build lends it greater speed and agility.

Small, lightweight construction, impressive zoom range, excellent brightness, uniform beam, silent operation, low consumption—these are just some of the features that make the Alpha Spot QWO 800 an excellent tool for TV, theatre, corporate events, and countless other demanding lighting applications.
