A moving head light fixture, comprising: - a base, - a yoke connected to the base and configured to be rotated relative to the base around a pan axis, - a head connected to the yoke and configured to be rotated relative to the yoke around a tilt axis, - a control unit, characterized in that the control unit is configured to • operate the moving head light fixture in a calibration mode used to determine a maximum needed rotation around the tilt and pan axis in order to illuminate a target area, and operate in an operating mode in which the moving head light fixture illuminates the target area only within the maximum needed rotation, • control the movement of the yoke around the pan axis and of the head around the tilt axis, • determine that the calibration mode should be entered upon an interaction of a user of the moving head light fixture, wherein in the calibration operating mode the control unit is configured to • determine a minimum pan rotation angle of the yoke around the pan axis upon detecting that the user has moved the moving head light fixture to a first position, • determine a maximum pan rotation angle of the yoke around the pan axis upon detecting that the user has moved the moving head light fixture to a second position, • determine a minimum tilt rotation angle of the head around the tilt axis upon detecting that the user has moved the moving head light fixture to a third position, • determine a maximum tilt rotation angle of the head around the tilt axis upon detecting that the user has moved the moving light fixture to a fourth position, wherein the control unit is further configured, when operating in the operating mode, to limit a rotation of the yoke around the pan axis to pan rotation angles in a range between the minimum pan and the maximum pan rotation angle, and to limit the rotation of the head around the tilt axis to tilt rotation angles in a range between the minimum tilt and the maximum tilt rotation angle independent of a control signal provided to the control unit for controlling the movement of the yoke and the head. -
