towards the second focus of the ellipsoidal reflector such a beam typically has a very high energy beam center or hotspot which can be damaging to downstream optics and also produces a poor wide beam pattern when trying to use the luminaire as a wash light the light beam passes through the heat protection and homogenization system 34 before passing through optical systems such as for example color system 36 static gobo system 37 and rotating gobo system 38 the light beam then continues through lenses 40 42 and 44 which may each individually or cooperatively be capable of movement along optical axis 46 so as to alter the focus and beam angle or zoom of the light beam because of the short focal length of the lamp 32 and reflector 30 the light beam passing through the static gobo wheel 37 and rotating gobo wheel 38 is sharply diverging far from a parallel beam this diverging beam provides increased possibility for light spill through one gobo on the first wheel past the edges of another gobo on the second wheel fig4 illustrates a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention which more clearly shows the gobo wheels providing the light control system the light control system utilizes coordinated control of the static gobo wheel.
