UK - Easilyled.com has launched what it claims is the world's first 1 kilowatt LED fixture. Known as the KiloLED, the unit measures just 500mm square but has a punchy output equivalent to a 4.5K Tungsten source, says the company.

Designed to be a universal light source, it has applications for the film and TV market as well as theatre, and architectural markets.

"Our main motivation for developing the KiloLED is to provide bulk light output at a fraction of the power," explains EasilyLED's Chris Crockford. "The sheer light power coupled with the ability to provide full RGB colour mixing and individual component control, makes the KiloLED substantially different from the rest. It is not just another other LED wash light, the KiloLED is a 30 degree beam soft light, with 43,000 lumens of power behind it."

The KiloLED runs in two modes of DMX operation - wide and narrow. Wide mode, with a maximum of 148 DMX channels, allows the designer individual control over each group of three LED's, known as a 'trixel', giving plenty of scope to programme complex and dazzling effects into the unit.

Aside from its output and controllability, the KiloLED also exhibits a versatility which will make it a favourite with television studios, event and hire companies along with any venue with a busy turnaround schedule, adds the company.

Designed as a core component for EasilyLED's consultancy work, the KiloLED can be 'stacked' in different combinations as demand dictates. As an example, it can form a low resolution, very high brightness video wall one day, provide bulk lighting for a football stadium the next, and then finally be transformed into individual fixtures for up-lighting a building.
