What is a Sharpy Light/Moving Head Beam ?

Moving head beam (also known as sharpy light) is mainly famous for its unique light source. Its unique small-diameter cup bubble design and precise focal length positioning principle make its light efficiency utilization rate extremely high.

Main categories of moving head beam

There are 200W, 230W, 260W, 300W, 330W, 700W, 1500W moving head beam and other series. Beam 300 and beam 700 were popular around 2010 and have a certain sense of beam. However, the moving head beam in the true sense, that is loved and recognized by everyone, began to prevail from the beam 200, which prevailed in August 2012, and bloomed everywhere in 2012. Since then, it has continuously updated and developed beam 230, beam 260, beam 330, and beam 1500. And beam pattern combination lamps. But the mainstream is still 200W and 230W moving head beam.

 

The working principle of the moving head beam

Moving head beam mainly rely on their unique light source to become famous. Its unique small-diameter cup bubble design and precise focal length positioning principle make its light efficiency utilization rate extremely high. Its extremely high lumens also led to its high calorific value, which also led to the extremely high frying rate of the 200W moving head beam that got up early. Therefore, the heat dissipation of this beam light is different from the heat dissipation of the traditional computer moving head light. The wick is relatively thin and there is no peripheral isolation layer. Therefore, if the heat dissipation is like that of traditional lamps, that is, the mode that the larger the heat dissipation, the better, is not acceptable. Yes, this will cause the bulb ionization arc to continue to ionize and affect the life of the bulb. If there isn’t enough heat to dissipate the heat, the bulb will blow up very quickly. Therefore, this beam light requires a constant temperature system.

 

Two cooling solutions for moving head beam

One is the traditional type of heat dissipation, which relies on a better fan to dissipate heat from the bulb and cooperates with a temperature control switch. Another high-end one is software temperature control and heat dissipation, that is, relying on software to control the constant temperature of the fan. If the fan slows down or fails, the light bulb will be automatically turned off to prevent frying. The latter of the two methods is better, even if the former does not fry, it has a greater impact on the life of the bulb.

 

Moving head beam light bulb category

Beam light bulbs are mainly Philips, here are four types, one is the original bulb, namely Philips Platinum 5R bulb MSD or the more used Osram original 230W, the other is Philips UHP bulb, and the other is Taiwan excellent lamp 5R It is the most used in the market, and the last type is various fake bubbles and bubbles with uneven color temperature and uneven brightness screened by Philips.

The original 5R platinum bubble is more expensive than UHP. In addition, the same UHP bulbs have different bubble pressures. Good manufacturers will measure the bubble pressure and screen the bulbs again to ensure the stability and consistency of the bulbs.
