If you had told me in 2000 that, in 2022, automated lighting fixtures would still be getting smaller, brighter, and lighter in weight, I would have said your Go button had got up and gone. Yet, here we are, and not only is the new High End Systems Lonestar all that but it also has a smaller and lighter invoice.
The fixture stands less than 19″ tall when the head is in the horizontal position (23.6″ in the vertical position), and the base is 8.7″ square and 4.3″ tall. The whole fixture would almost fit in my carry-on, and at 50lb, it weighs about the same as my fully loaded Pelican case. It also has light engine that uses about 7% more power than the SolaFrame 750, but it makes it roughly 27% brighter. The result is that the Lonestar produces 53 lumens per watt versus the 42 lumens per watt produced by the SolaFrame 750. That’s progress.
