Color Olympics

With the glory of the century, the "unparalleled" Beijing Olympic Games has gradually drifted away. The magnificent opening and closing ceremonies have become the eternal glory of people's minds. As one of the domestic suppliers of the stage lighting brand of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, Guangzhou Caiyu Lighting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Caiyu Company”) has customized 424 FINE2500WASH moving head lights and FINE190DG LED lights for this world-famous feast. With high-quality stage lighting, it has realized its "Olympic Dream".

one. Computer lights highlight the connotation of "scientific and technological Olympics"

Throughout the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, the magnificent momentum and romantic dream color are the soul of the whole performance. The FINE2500wash computer light, which is evenly spread and rich in color, makes the lighting of the Bird's Nest an artistic enjoyment. In order to present the most perfect lighting effects and ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the Olympic Games, the R&D team of the computer lamp research and development team of the company has carried out special research and analysis on the use environment of the Olympic Games performance, and has drawn and formulated the technical requirements and solutions of the FINE2500WASH lamps. Program.

1. Technical requirements Mechanical structure is safe and reliable. The average time between failures of the mechanical structure is close to 6000 hours.
The electronic performance is stable and there is no power grid interference, energy saving and environmental protection. Large quantities of luminaires cannot interfere with the grid when they are turned on at the same time.
Using DMX512 communication protocol, the software is easy to control and the communication interface is stable.
Color consistency and resilience are good. The color of the projected spot should be close to reality, and there should be no deviation of color temperature and color.
high brightness. The size of the Olympic venues is large, and the projection distance of the lamps is far. It needs high brightness to make long-distance projection and reduce the number of lamps and improve the utilization of the Olympic venue space.
Mute. The noise at 1 meter of the luminaire is controlled within 45 decibels.
Washing effect. The light is projected onto a large area with uniform illumination and no hollow spots.

  2. Solution

Through the understanding of the venues and product requirements of the Olympic venues, Caiyu Company regards the key performance indicators such as mechanical stability, electronic performance stability, no power grid interference, software easy to control, and stable communication interface as product design input specifications.

(1) Improve the safety and reliability of the mechanical structure of the luminaire

The safety and reliability of the mechanical structure are mainly ensured by the reasonable design of the mechanical structure, the selection of materials, and the control of the machining accuracy of the parts. Taking into account the requirements of the omnidirectional work of the luminaire, the mechanical structure is made of hard aluminum alloy as much as possible to reduce the weight and increase the strength. All types of safety structures are designed with 10 times the ability to withstand and pass multiple impact tests. The accuracy of the parts is controlled through strict supplier screening and quality inspection.

(2) Ensure that the power supply system and the electronic control system are stable and have no grid interference.

The ballast uses a 1500W electronic ballast produced in the United States. The ballast adopts constant power control mode, the output power is stable, the power factor is up to 0.99, the fluctuation range is <±1%, and the total harmonic content is THD<20%, which has no pollution to the power grid. Wide operating voltage range: AC180-250V, output efficiency up to 90%. It also has a dimming function, when the light is closed or CMY is fully closed, the output power of the lamp is automatically reduced by 50%.

The Switching Power Supply adopts a 200W AC/DC switching regulator power supply manufactured by a well-known power supply manufacturer in Taiwan. Wide operating voltage range: AC100-240V. The power factor is >0.98 and the efficiency is as high as 86%. Complete protection design: including overvoltage/undervoltage protection, overheat protection, overload protection, short circuit protection, and maximum protection of lamps in harsh environments. The perfect EMI design fully complies with the EN61000-3-2 standard, and the interference to the luminaire control system is minimized to ensure stable and reliable operation of the luminaire.

The electronic control system is independently researched and developed by Caiyu Company. After years of perfection and upgrade, the performance is stable and reliable. The system platform uses the high-end single-chip microcomputer of MICROCHIP, which has a fast processing speed. The complete protection design ensures that the control system operates normally and reliably in extremely harsh environments.

(3) The ease of use of the software and the versatility of the data interface

The human-machine interface adopts humanized design, the menu structure uses a directory tree structure similar to WINDOWS, and the data communication protocol adopts the internationally-used DMX512 protocol, which allows users to easily install and use the lamps.

(4) Color reproduction

Selecting the color film produced in Italy, the wavelength of the color film produced by the company is controlled within ±3 nm. The substrate is made of Borofloat glass with a thickness of 1.1mm and the temperature is up to 400-450 °C. Sex, we manually select the color through the color test tooling to ensure that the wavelength of each lamp color chip is controlled within ±1 nm.

(5) Improve light output efficiency

The reflective bowl is made of the cone-shaft ellipsoid reflector bowl produced by the Italian company. The light output efficiency of the reflector bowl is 40% higher than that of the domestic manufacturer's reflective bowl.

(6) Reduce noise

1 Control the mute work of each stepper motor by optimizing the software;
2 to reduce the speed of each fan under the ambient temperature that ensures that the lamp can work stably within 45 °C;
3 In the case of ensuring that the lamp does not leak light, the air inlet and outlet of the heat dissipation can be smoothed, and the sounding phenomenon of the pipe type musical instrument can be prevented from being blocked or reflowed.

(7) Improve the uniformity of washing

The light washing effect is achieved by a thread mirror and two semicircular astigmatism mirrors. When the semicircular astigmatism mirror is turned on, the projected light is focused. When the semicircular astigmatism mirror is closed, the projected light is For divergence, use a rail to move the semi-circular astigmatism up and down to change the spot from focus to divergence. The spot uniformity obtained by this structure is good, and the brightness loss is small.
