Achernar Projection Kit
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Windows where there are none, shafts of invented sun, graphics on cyc walls — the Achernar makes scenery out of optics, and packs it into a case that believes in call times.
A parabolic is a precision instrument pretending to be an umbrella: sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true curve, a focusing rod that glides and locks, and fabrics whose silver keeps its colour after the two-hundredth assembly. Ours are hand-finished, serialised, and repairable rib by rib.
Design & Craft
- Steel gobos seat with register — patterns repeat
- Framing blades cut like a good enlarger easel
- S-type as standard; speedrings for major systems in the options
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly
- Beam pattern measured on our photometric bench — the listing is the box

Care
Open and close by the hub, not the ribs; keep speedrings matched to their fixture; and shake dust from grids rather than washing them. Fabrics keep their neutrality for years if they travel in their sleeves.
Questions, Answered
Can textiles be replaced?
Every panel, rib and diffusion layer is a stocked part for fifteen years. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
Grids included?
Where the listing says so; otherwise they are options. Grid angles are true to label — measured, not rounded.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Two years parts and labour, fifteen years of parts on the shelf, and a loaner fixture on your set while yours is on our bench.
