"We think that the product range is world class and truly innovative," says Phil Haldane, Black Light's head of company development, who is particularly impressed by the functionality that ilumo's software provides. "We are very excited to be working with Lumonic throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK."
The ilumo Spot is a high power, high efficiency LED soft edged spot unit with full colour mixing optics and a remote motorised zoom. It features 12 High Brightness Osram LEDs controlled by market-leading software.
The product comes with a strong pedigree. The team involved in its development has been instrumental in bringing LEDs into the entertainment industry, having used the technology on high-profile projects with, for example, the rock group U2.
"We are very impressed with Black Light's professionalism and its ability and desire to give the best customer service to its clients," says Lumonic's director, Mike Edwards, who explains that the company chose Black Light as a partner because of the strength of its team and its commitment to providing bespoke and innovative lighting solutions.
"We are delighted to be working with them and sharing our market-leading LED technology and our future products that are in the pipeline," Edwards adds. "We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."
Lumonic has already trained Black Light's sales team and technical staff on the ilumo range's functionality and specifications. Black Light has invested in a range of demonstration units to showcase the products to its customers.
Lumonic's LED lights are aimed at the top end of the TV studio, theatre, stage, opera, music house market place where lighting designers are looking for better colour control, colour temperature control and colour consistency.
