UK - Television lighting designers are increasingly turning to GLP's Impression compact LED RGB moving washlight to provide fast moving colour changes to elements of their stage sets, says the company.

LD's such as Mike 'Sooty' Sutcliffe, Gurdip Mahal and Darryl Noad have been sourcing their luminaires from the Broadcast & Event division of production rental company, Panalux, headed by managing director Ed Pagett, and business development manager, Simon Roose.

Containing 90 Luxeon K2 high-power LEDs (30 x RGB), the Impression boasts a higher light yield than that of a conventional 575W discharge lamp. And with its rapid 660° of pan and 300° tilt, it is suitable for the television sector - particularly large location spectaculars and reality shows.

Additional advantages of durability, low energy, low heat dissipation, light weight and interchangeable lens are currently proving a winning combination for Sutcliffe and Mahal (on The Guinness World Records), Mahal again (BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year) and Noad (Celebrity Big Brother).
