New Products: Aurora™ CR1 Followspot LED Retrofit Engine
If you have one of Canto USA’s earlier incandescent followspots, the NEW Aurora™ CR1 followspot LED retrofit engine gives you a practical way to upgrade to LED. It helps eliminate the hassle of sourcing halogen lamps, while adding the efficiency and reduced maintenance that many venues want from an LED retrofit.

Professional LED Worklights & Running Lights for Theaters
At full power, the retrofit uses 2.1 amps at 120VAC (252 watts). It comes standard in 6500K and is available in 3200K upon request. The internal ballast removes the need for a heavy external ballast, and the followspot head weighs only 22 lbs. (10 kg), making handling easier for one person. The unit operates on 120-240V for straightforward installation.
The retrofit kit includes the LED upgrade engine and AC power cord. Canto USA can ship the kit with instructions for a self-install retrofit, or you can send the unit in for conversion service. Either way, you can keep the familiar Canto followspot and extend its useful life with an LED upgrade.
Compatible followspot models
- Ceramic Followspots (Canto 250 HR)
- Tungsten Followspots (Canto 1000 TH, Canto 2000 TH)
- MSR Followspots (Canto 575 MSR, Canto 700 MSR, Canto 1200 MSR)
- FF Followspots (Canto 1200 FF)
