DFS Cabochon Lighting System
Manufactured in the UK and employing the well known Imel Park Cabochon mouldings, DFS Cabochon realises an attractive LED lamp with a traditional fairground appearance. Up to a full DMX universe of lamps can be individually controlled using a simple two conductor wiring system.
The Cabochon lamp holders incorporate cable piercing pins so wiring could not be simpler. Just place the two conductors into the lamp and holder and secure in place using the cable securing nut. The DFS Cabochon LED lamps screws into the E14 lamp base within the Cabochon assembly. Versions with single colour, RGB or RGBW are available. As with all Glasson Electronics products, the colour temperature of white single colour or RGBW version can be specified when ordering.
DFS Cabochon LED lamps are powered from the VP or IP series drivers.
All Glasson Electronics LED products employ linear current control as opposed to PWM. This provides extremely smooth diming even at low intensities.
DFS Cabochon Typical Installation
Main Features of the DFS Cabochon Lighting System
- Polarity insensitive – connects to the cable either way around.
- Simple through panel mounting with a single 20mm hole. Max panel thickness 10mm.
- Linear current control (not PWM) for excellent flicker free colours when viewed with a video camera.
- Each lamp has a unique address which is user programmed using the infra red hand programmer. The address can be reprogrammed thousands of times.
- Internal fuse resistor to prevent a single lamp failure compromising the whole system.
- Diameter – 60mm.
- Height above panel – 70mm
- Drive voltage – 40-48V.
- Current – 55mA.
- Wattage – 2.0W
Operation
A system is comprised of a VP or IP series mains driver. These accept universal mains supply and output a DC voltage with the combined power and data signal modulated on the supply. Up to a full DMX universe of DFS Cabochon lamps all wire in parallel from the driver output. Lamps can be wired in strings or individually wired and connect back to the power unit outputs using terminals or splitters. Once wiring is complete, each lamp is assigned a number using the Infra Red Hand Programmer. The number makes a given lamp unique on the system. Note that multiple lamps can be assigned the same number and will then operate from the same DMX Channels. Once installation is complete each node will respond to the assigned DMX channels.
