Core's PinPoint - made in the UK as with all their product range - attracted serious attention.
Already in production, the tiny IP65 rated wireless pin-spot / birdie weighs just 700 grams while its single LED lightsource outputs a punchy 300 lumens.
The head is connected to the base of the PinPoint via a flexible stainless steel 'gooseneck' for maximum focusability, and the brushed aluminium housing gives a contemporary, streamlined finish which looks fabulous in any environment.
Further options are added with the base capable of vertical or horizontal orientation making it ideal for sitting on shelves.
In another touch of innovation, the base is magnetic for easy clamping to metal objects of all types - including lighting, sound and video mixing consoles and control equipment - where it can provide working light in awkward and challenging spaces.
PinPoint is designed to be used as feature lighting for events of all types and specifically to tastefully highlight table centrepieces, floral arrangements and other scenarios that need tight, detailed spot-lighting.
The standard battery life when fully charged will give an impressive 14 hours of illumination, and an extremely expediently sized flightcase of 10 units offers total portability for a PinPoint system including an integral charging facility.
"Reaction to the PinPoint was excellent," reports Core's Phil Ion, adding that the PLASA stand - located in the 'village' of distributor White Light - "saw a steady flow of traffic, especially busy on the Monday and Tuesday, and there was a lot of interest across the full product range".
In addition to the PinPoint, Core showed its flagship POINT30, ColourPoint and FLOOD30 fixtures at the show - all of which were well received.
"We were incredibly pleased to show our products again at PLASA," enthuses Phil Ion. "We always look forward to meeting existing and new customers from UK and overseas. It was great to see an incredibly positive reaction to the new PinPoint, and we are looking forward to getting these into customers' hands and seeing the results of all the hard work and development being put to good use."
