Canopus COB 400
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Continuous — what you see is what you shoot
The Canopus is what-you-see-is-what-you-shoot: a point-source COB with serial-measured colour, flicker-free drive past any shutter you own, and thermals that hold minute ninety at minute-one brightness.
Colour science is a promise you keep in hardware: emitter arrays mixed for full-spectrum output, firmware that corrects drift as diodes age, and calibration data stored per fixture. Housings are aluminium with fanless or hush-governed cooling, mounts are steel where torque lives, and every control — knob, app, DMX — reads the same numbers, because your gaffer's console should never argue with your app.
Design & Craft
- Output at minute ninety equals output at minute one — thermals engineered
- S-type mount in steel; yoke rated for overhead rigging
- Dimming curves smooth to 0.1% with four selectable laws
- CRI, TLCI and SSI measured per serial in Prague — report in the box
- CCT travel 2700–6500 K holding tint within measurement
- DMX/RDM, wireless and app control with clear priority rules

Care
Wipe housings dry after location work, cap connectors on the truck, and store below 40 °C. Run the built-in calibration check quarterly — two minutes — and book the annual photometric re-certification so your fleet keeps matching itself.
Questions, Answered
Is it really flicker-free for high-speed work?
Drivers are tested past 25,000 fps shutter equivalents at all dimming levels; the certificate ships with the fixture.
Do fixtures match each other?
That is the entire point of per-serial calibration: CRI, TLCI, SSI and xy coordinates are measured in Prague and stored in firmware, so a fleet reads as one light.
