Quick Help!
The smallest Zoom range of the Fuze Wash Z120 has been increased to a minimum of 6˚ beam angle. We valued this smallest beam angle as a Wash Beam effect for punchy fat beams with a long throw. For projection or giving your stage a nice wash effect, we recommend to use a minimum of 10% (DMX value 25) Zoom, to create a nice, even, flat field Wash effect without colored edges.

The Fuze Wash Z120 has been designed with the main purpose of a Wash fixture. As one of a Wash fixture’s features, it has got a nice, wide zoom range up to 46˚ degrees with a nice, smooth field projection. Typically, a Wash fixture can’t zoom very small, but we wanted to give this fixture something extra. Therefore, we increased the smallest beam angle in the Zoom to 6˚. This is enough to create a nice fat punchy beam and gives the Fuze Wash Z120 also the use of a Wash/Beam fixture, instead of just a Wash. The 6˚ beam angle does affect the optics slightly of the Fuze Wash Z120, one of the reasons why we recommend to use 10% (DMX value 25) as a minimum Zoom if you want to use the Fuze Wash Z120 just as a Wash fixture.
