The first LED-source followspot in Ayrton’s range, EagleStrike LT is engineered for intensive outdoor use across long distances where precision is paramount

Published 18^th November, 2025

Ayrton has launched its new, ultra-powerful followspot, EagleStrike LT, designed for maximum output, speed and precision in stadiums, arenas, major events and other extraordinary venues. Originating from a bespoke request for a signature luminaire, EagleStrike LT is a fast, weatherproof followspot distinguished by phenomenal power, unmatched precision at extraordinary throw distances and genuinely expressive graphic performance. The first LED-source followspot in Ayrton’s range, EagleStrike LT is engineered for intensive outdoor use across long distances where precision is paramount. An optional camera transforms EagleStrike LT into a fully automated tracking spotlight.

Huge lens, narrow beam
To create an uncompromising and unmatched extreme-luminaire, Ayrton has developed an oversized 270mm front lens capable of delivering an ultra-intense 2.9° beam; its 13-lens optical system with 15:1 zoom ratio gives working range of 2.9° to 43°, with dedicated gobo reducers able to narrow the beam to 0.9° or 2.5°

Intense output
Equipped with a brand-new high-efficiency 1,200W LED module, EagleStrike LT outputs a luminous flux of 55,000 lumens at a colour temperature of 6500K. It easily achieves a record-breaking light output of over 100,000 lux at 10m, and 6250 lux over 40m.

Striking colour mixing capabilities
EagleStrike LT introduces an entirely new ultra-fast CMY flag-based colour mixing system, capable of matching the speed of Ayrton’s ‘Ultimate’ series luminaires. A progressive CTO offers subtle tuning from 2900K to 6500K. The colour section includes six complementary colour filters, two CRI enhancement filters, one minus green, one gobo correction and one multi-colour filter. More than a followspot, EagleStrike LT also offers a range of optical tools for sculpting the light: precision full-framing across 100% of the file and +/- 90° rotation, two overlaying rotating gobo wheels, each with seven gobos, a 15-blade iris diaphragm, a single-colour effects wheel and two frost filters, as well as two combinable rotating image-multiplier prisms: a 4-facet linear and a 5-facet circular. Continuous rotation on the pan axis expands EagleStrike LT’s creative potential and facilitates use in automatic followspot mode. A next-generation oversized cooling system ensures high efficiency, and is particularly quiet.

Weighing in at 54.7kg, EagleStrike LT is a followspot of precision that's agile, graphic and powerful. EagleStrike LT’s minimalist design integrates all waterproofing features while maintaining full access to internal components. Its remarkable versatility rests on the experience and excellence of Ayrton’s R&D team, who have perfectly balanced this Series 9 IP65 fixture.
