Lycian 1267 Super Arc 400 Long Throw Follow Spot

The Lycian 1267 Super Arc 400 is a professional, long-throw follow spotlight designed for large-scale theatrical, concert, and arena productions where powerful, high-intensity beams are required to reach distant stages from the back of an auditorium or from high balcony positions. This spotlight utilizes a 400-watt short-arc metal halide (HMI) lamp as its light source, renowned for producing an extremely bright, daylight-balanced (approximately 5600K) output with excellent color rendering. This makes it ideal for television broadcasts and events where lighting must match natural daylight or complement other high-intensity discharge fixtures. The optical system of the 1267 is engineered for efficiency, featuring a high-quality, large-diameter lens train that collects and projects the lamp's intense light into a tight, controllable beam capable of maintaining its intensity and sharpness over several hundred feet.

Operation of the Lycian 1267 is designed for a dedicated spot operator. It features smooth, precise mechanical controls for pan, tilt, and focus, allowing the operator to track performers effortlessly and adjust the beam's sharpness from a hard edge to a soft wash. A defining feature is its manual or motorized iris, douser (for blackouts), and color boomerang—a rotating mechanism that holds several colored gel frames for instant color changes. The fixture is built into a robust, mobile chassis with large wheels and a stabilizing outrigger, making it maneuverable for positioning but stable during operation. It requires connection to a dedicated 120V/240V power source and a separate ballast or power supply, which is often housed in a remote, ventilated enclosure to reduce noise and heat at the operator's position.

As a workhorse of large-venue production, the Lycian 1267 Super Arc 400 delivers the combination of brightness, throw distance, and operational control demanded by top-tier events. Its reliability and consistent performance have made it a trusted tool for lighting designers and production companies for decades. While modern LED follow spots offer greater efficiency and lower heat, the 1267 remains a benchmark for sheer output and quality of light in situations where nothing else can match its powerful, penetrating beam and professional feature set.
