The invention relates to a moving head light fixture comprising a base and a head having a spherical shape comprising at least an optical system, wherein the base comprises a receiving surface with a concave shape configured to receive the moving head, the base comprising a plurality of omni wheels extending above the receiving surface and configured to provide support surfaces for the moving head, the base comprising at least one control unit configured to control the plurality of omni wheels wherein actuation of at least some of the plurality of omni wheels provide unlimited rotation of the head with three degrees of freedom.

Spherical moving head light fixture

A method of determining pose of a moving head light fixture, comprising a support structure and a rotatable structure rotatable connected to the support structure. The rotatable structure comprises at least one light source generating a light beam and a position indicating the position of the position indicator. The method comprises the steps of arranging the position indicator at at least three different positions around the axis of rotation by rotating the rotatable structure; and a step of obtaining the position of the position indicator at each of the at least three different positions. The pose of the moving head light fixture can be obtained based on the obtained positions.

Method of determining the pose of a moving head light fixture

The invention relates to a moving head light fixture including a base, a yoke connected to the base and configured to be rotated relative to the base around a pan axis, a head connected to the yoke and configured to be rotated relative to the yoke around a tilt axis, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to operate the moving head light fixture in a calibration mode to determine a maximum needed rotation around the tilt and pan axis in order to illuminate a target area, and to operate in an operating mode in which the moving head light fixture illuminates the target area only within the maximum needed rotation.
