Chris Hook, of StageRats Ltd, Ron Hill of Sutton Theatres and Becky Daley at Rose Bruford College were all presented with Source Four 19º luminaires with the new enhanced-definition lens tubes, by ETC's sales manager for UK and Ireland, Mark White. Nathaniel Keiller of Theatre Royal Windsor was unable to attend and his prize was shipped to him.
The party offered one of the first demonstrations of the EDLT, projecting ETC logos onto the wall behind the presentation stage. The standard Source Four was placed side by side with a Source Four outfitted with the new lens tube option. The result was clear: only one thing could outperform the Source Four - the Source Four with the new EDLT attached. For lighting pros seeking even greater optical crispness and contrast for projection of gobos, signage and logos, the EDLT is the next level, says the company. This new option is available in 19º, 26º and 36º beam angles with a 50º beam angle set to follow in the first quarter of 2006.
"I am delighted to be able to present the winners with their prizes," said White. "It is especially pleasing that one of the winners is a student, and so this prize will end up at her college and will, I am sure, contribute to the success of many who are set to enter the lighting industry." The EDLT begins shipping in January.
