The Altman Pegasus 8 is a 2700K, white-output LED Fresnel with a 8" lens housed in a black enclosure, capable of operation in both mains dimmable and DMX systems. The fixture uses a 120W lamp and casts soft light similar to that produced by theatrical and studio Fresnels, achieving an output equivalent to that of a 750W incandescent fixture.

The Pegasus 8 is designed to seamlessly integrate into preexisting dimmer systems. When the unit is set to Mains Dim Control, it can plug directly into theatrical phase-cut dimmers and functions in both forward- and reverse-phase implementations, replicating the smooth dimming curves of similar incandescent fixtures. The fixture is designed to operate on both 120V and 230V dimming systems, with a voltage selector switch on the rear of the unit. This switch just applies to the operating voltage of the dimming system. The fixture itself has a universal, auto-sensing power supply capable of functioning between 120 and 240 VAC.

The fixture is also fully RDM (Remote Device Management) and DMX compliant. This allows for its use in a lighting system that uses both constant power (for phase-cut dimming) and DMX data control. Simply flip the DMX/Mains Dim switch on the rear of the Pegasus 8 to convert it into a DMX/RDM controllable unit.

It can be used with standard theatrical gels as well as with gels formulated for LEDs. The fixture is constructed entirely from metal and is made in the USA. It ships with a C-clamp, a color frame, a safety cable, and a powerCON power cable.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What softbox or diffuser to use with this light? I am hanging it from the ceiling and need a softer shadow on my greenscreen and subjects.

A: For all my fresnel fixtures I always buy barndoors for them. This is essential for many reasons. If you can also buy a couple of filter holders that would be good also. I always keep a supply of media...color and various diffusion types. What I find most useful to soften lights is either half spun or a lite white frost. If you have filter holders to fit your light fixture just cut the media to fit and slide it into the slot provided. If you only have barn doors then you can cut the media larger and use C-47s(clothes pins-wooden) to attach the media between the large doors and cover the light beam. It is usually preferable to use the filter holder and that way the barn doors can still be used to cut the light beam and shape it to your subject.

Q: 2. How would this compare to an Aperture 300D? This looks like a better option for me, but is it as bright?

A: The Sola 4+ flood 3000LUX @ 1m, spot 32,000LUX @ 1m. The Aputure is 14,000LUX @ 1m.

Q: 3. What Chimera speed-ring is compatible with this?

A: The Chimera Speed Ring for Video Pro Bank..., B&H # CHSRC738VP • MFR # 9130, and the Chimera Speed Ring for Daylite Jr. Bank..., B&H # CHSRC738DJ • MFR # 9132, would be compatible for your usage needs.

Q: 4. What kind of THROW do these have? Can I use these for a stage spotlight from 100' away to achieve F2.8 of F4?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Sola 6+ has an output comparable to that of a 1200 watt HMI light. However, it would not be as effective if placed at 100 feet away from a stage.

Q: 5. What about Mole Richardson accessories fitting into the barn door slot? I see that the ARRI accessories are a no go.

A: The closest option would be 5 1/8" scrims from Mole Richardson such as the Mole-Richardson Half Double Moledura Scrim for Tweenie, Betweenie (5 1/8") B&H # MOSHDB. https://bhpho.to/2VB8QZK
