The Artiste Mondrian is a high-performance fixture suited for multiple applications. For noise critical
environments such as Theater, Opera, or Orchestral Halls, it offers various fan operation modes
which remove unwanted noise distractions for the audience and performers. Fan Modes can be
changed remotely via the DMX control channel, allowing the fixture to offer high output or whisper-
silent operation at a moment's notice. All Fan Modes smoothly transition over a brief period,
preventing unwanted attraction to the fixture.
Auto (Default) –Fans only run at the speeds needed to keep the LED engine within a safe
temperature range, and ensures optimal performance of the fixture. They will turn off if possible, for
example, when the fixture is dimmed to a low intensity. Fans sense the ambient and fixture
temperature and will, at all times, try to keep noise levels at a minimum. The fixture output will only
reduce when the LED engine cannot be cooled to its safe operating range due to a high ambient
temperature.
NOTE: Recommended for daily operation.
Low – Fan speeds are reduced throughout the fixture for a lower noise profile. The fixture output is
also reduced to approximately 80%. This mode should be sufficient for most uses where lower noise
is required.
High – Fan speeds are increased throughout the fixture for the most efficient cooling. This mode will
increase wear on the fans and should only be utilized in exceptional circumstances. Fans will always
run, even if the fixture is dimmed. Fixture output is kept at 100% unless the LED engine temperature
reaches an unsafe temperature; at which point, the fixture will reduce power carefully to ensure
continued safe operation. This mode is only required in very high ambient temperatures when
automatic fan speed adjustments are not desired.
Low Noise Modes
For very critical noise environments, the fixture offers two additional Low Noise Modes for silent
operation. The fixture output will be reduced, however due to the extremely high luminous flux, the
fixture still offers outstanding performance. In Low Noise Modes, all parameters of the fixture operate
quieter with reduced fan speeds.
Studio – Almost all fixture fans are turned off, and only run when absolutely necessary. The fixture
LED power output is reduced to 50%.
Mute – All but one fixture fan is turned off for whisper-quiet operation.
The fixture LED power output is reduced to 25%.
