First is the Volkslicht Spot which, following its recent launch announcement, brings GLP's award winning LED technology to a smaller spot fixture, perfect for shorter throw distances or those on a cost conscious budget.
The feature set of the Volkslicht Spot includes a motorized iris, rotating gobo wheel with seven positions plus open, a static gobo wheel with nine positions plus open, a rotating prism, and motorised focus all within a small body so that it can be placed discretely. The output features a beam angle of 15 degrees, whilst the weight has been kept to just 33 lbs.
Making a preview showing for the first time in the USA, is the impression X4 XL which uses 55 RGBW LEDs and offers a zoom of 7° to 50°. It works equally well as a narrow beam light - with hard edge capability - or as a smooth wash light with even coverage at wider angles. The X4 XL also works as an effect unit with full pixel mapping.
Also on display will be the impression X4S which recently won the WFX Award for best moving light. This compact version of the X4 offers a flexible RGBW output with a zoom range of 7 to 50° in a compact body weighing just 12 lbs. and measuring just 12in tall.
GLP US will also be showing brand new products from its Scenex Lighting range which focuses on LED product applications for scenic and special use.
Making its world debut at the show is their new LED Pixel Tape which features a pitch of 31.25mm and is available in different lengths, with both black and white PCB backing.
LED pixel tape is attached quickly and easily via its strong 3M adhesive backing. As with all LED tapes in GLP's Scenex range, their LED Pixel tape offers an IP65 rating with silicone coating allowing the tape to be used outdoors, or in other environments where it is likely to get wet.
Finally, and also making a premier showing in the USA, is AirDMX - a comprehensive single DMX universe controller that runs from an iPad over WiFi, and is capable of running any kind of DMX fixture from individual dimmers to fully featured moving lights. A free to download App runs from a standard iPad (sold separately), whilst the accompanying WiFi DMX box is mounted with the fixtures.
