The DRX1 is fully adjustable using RCL's 'Select and Direct' technology; using a handheld remote control with a modulated laser, specifiers or end users can select individual DRX1 luminaires, and using the remote, direct the luminaire's aim with the touch of a button.
In particular, the design of the RCL offers improved range of direction through the tilt axis, the DRX1 offers ±110° tilt, meaning the luminaire is well-suited to lighting the vertical plane, perfect for lighting gallery hangings.
Recognising the need for options with controls compatibility with global standards, RCL have developed a number of variants which allow for 1-10V, DALI and DMX dimming. Opting for the DMX protocol also allows users to control the pan and tilt of the luminaire via DMX too.
Further consideration of end-user requirements is demonstrated through the DRX1's integration with RCL's iDirect app. With iDirect, users have complete control of individual luminaires with simple finger gestures in an easy-to-use interface. Up to 126 DRX1s can be controlled by a single iPad, and users can also recall global scenes, and control the dim-level of luminaires across the scheme.
The technical sophistication of the DRX1 is compressed into a far smaller luminaire than that which can usually accommodate such advanced features. The 115m luminaire head measures just 100mm in diameter, while the luminaire as a whole has a 230mm turning circle, meaning it is ideally suited for integration into tight spaces, such as recessed ceiling troughs.
The DRX1's beam offerings include three options: narrow spot (6°), spot (10°) and flood (22°) distributions, while three colour temperatures are available as standard (2700K, 3000K, and 4000K). The 2700K and 3000K offerings deliver 90+CRI, excellent for colour critical applications such as museums, galleries and high-end retail stores.
Since availability in the summer, the DRX1 has already been installed in a number of prestigious galleries and hotels. Prominent projects include providing the lighting for a temporary gallery space at Christie's, illuminating the exhibits at Daniel Crouch Rare Books' presence at TEFAF, and lighting an events space at Claridge's.
