This die cast aluminum powerful spotlight complies with the technical specifications required by the last generation of COB LED (9100lm/74W), combined with high esthetic features: the gear box is shaped to follow the elliptic design of the dissipating head for a compact visual effect. This results in a brilliant integration between the two elements, with the center of gravity focused on their point of junction to ensure a perfect balance of weights. The gear box is emptied near the point of junction, to lighten its profile and to make the pivoting head visible from different positions.
