Ayrton has launched Stradale Profile, billed as the first ultra-compact luminaire in Ayrton's brand-new 1 Series.

Following in the Rivale's footsteps with a 15% reduction in visual footprint, the company says, "Stradale Profile's design embodies the principle of perfect uniformity that defines the Ultimate range. Through meticulous engineering and extreme miniaturisation, every detail is optimized to streamline the structure, refine effect modules, and minimize component size, pushing integration to new limits."

The new format has led to the development of an all-new 330W LED module, precisely calibrated at 6,500K, delivering a luminous output of 20,000lm; the company says its light aligns perfectly with the optimal black body curve to ensure perfect neutrality.

Engineered for indoor and outdoor use in any environment -- even salt-laden conditions -- the unit features a distinctive visual signature. It weighs just under 52lb. Features include infinite continuous rotation as standard on both pan and tilt axes. Equipped with a 140mm front lens, its proprietary 13-lens optical system delivers a 13:1 zoom ratio, with a range spanning from 4 to 52 degrees.

Stradale Profile introduces an ultra-fast CMY progressive gradient mixing system, which, the company says, ensures seamless color transitions, brighter output, and impeccable uniformity. A refined extended CTO system allows precise adjustment of color temperature from 2,700K to 6,500K, while a seven-position color wheel, equipped with specialized filters, expands the creative palette. It also offers a fine-tuned color rendering index adjustment from 70 to 86.

The unit is billed as delivering an ultra-intense, tight beam for a luminaire of this category. A rapid 15-blade iris allows beam optimization with an adjustable range from 15% to 100%. The framing system enables precise positioning of each shutter blade across 100% of the beam with a +/- 90-degree rotation.

The image section includes 19 high-definition interchangeable glass gobos across two wheels -- nine rotating and ten fixed -- designed to elevate textural and aerial effects. The effects module features a monochromatic animation wheel and two combinable rotating prisms: a five-facet circular prism and a four-facet linear prism designed for striking 3D effects, and a new multi-color filter, combined with a distortion gobo. The unit also offers two frost filters: one soft diffusion filter to smooth edges without altering the beam angle and a heavier diffusion filter for true wash applications.
