An LED light fixture comprising a plurality of LEDs mounted on a substrate, wherein the plurality of LEDs include a lime/mint light source accounting for at least 25% of the total lumen output, and a deep red light source accounting for at least 0.5% of total lumen output. The lime/mint light source preferably accounts for at least 50% of the total lumen output. The deep red light source preferably accounts for at least 1.0% of the total lumen output. The light fixture can also include other colors, such as 1% to 50% cyan, 1% to 20% red/red-orange, and 1% to 10% blue/indigo. In one embodiment, the fixture further includes a processor for calculating a color mix and driving the LEDs. Preferably, the processor is programmed to produce a color mix having a CCT in the range of 2700-6500K, a TM-30 (R) of at least 90, and a TLCI of at least 95.

A segmented touch screen overlies the display or displays of a console having an operating system and display controller for the display. A touch screen controller is continuously connected to each of the touch screen segments and separate touch position information is obtained for each touch screen segment. The console operating system can be supplied with separate position information for each segment or with a single touch position for combined segments. A number of docking module ports near the display optionally receive docking modules that cover segments of the touch screen and display. A module, including tactile elements such as push button switches, can be docked at any port. When a module is detected, the touch screen segment under the module is disabled and the display under the module is switched to display module specific information.

A lighting fixture configured to image a high-intensity beam of light at a distant location with a variable beam spread and a variable image distance. The lighting fixture includes an illuminator mounted on a front projection system. The illuminator includes an elliptical reflector defining two focal points. A lamp is at one of the reflector's focal points, while an aperture of the front projection system is at the reflector's other focal point. The front projection system includes a tubular housing having shutter blades moveably positionable in the aperture to obstruct light passing through the second focal point. A rear lens receives and transmits light emitted by the illuminator, while a front lens is configured to receive light transmitted by the first lens and project it at the distant location. The lenses are contained within the housing. A positioning mechanism is mounted on the housing, and includes a rack and pinion gear device that adjusts the distance between the front and rear lenses in response to the rotation of an actuator. The actuator is configured to slide along a slot in the housing, controlling the translation of the first and second lenses with respect to the illuminator. The actuator is configured with a shielding baffle that covers the slot, and with field angle indicia labeling the actuator with beam spread settings. The actuator is further configured with a locking cam lever that constrains the actuator from being moved with respect to the housing when the locking cam lever is in a locked position.

The invention is directed to a system and method for extending the life of a bluish, greenish, or reddish colored gel, comprising a filter coating situated between a light source and a colored gel, which filter coating has a reflectance band falling in the same wavelength region of the visible light spectrum as the absorption band for the colored gel such that burning or bleaching of the color is prevented or delayed.
