The Society of Television Lighting Designers (STLD) has arranged a 240sq.m space where LED lighting fixtures can be directly compared across three different areas. The first lighting shootout area features a specially built 8m-wide cyclorama, the second a practical hands-on 'mini TV studio', and the third section is a lecture and presentation theatre where LED fixtures from different categories are compared side-by-side with their traditional Tungsten or Discharge equivalent.
PixelRange will demonstrate three newly released lighting fixtures - QPar, PixelSmart and SmartLine 6.
QPar Follows hard in the footsteps of the PixelRange PixelPar. A fully-programmable, plug and play, high powered colour-mixing LED wash fixture, QPar "takes the integrity of PixelPar to a new level of power and performance".
PixelSmart was the first product from PixelRange that pioneered a new wave in intelligent lighting. The unit comprises 13 CREE XPG warm white LED's alongside 12 CREE MCE Quad LED's RGBW to give the advantage not only of a vast spectrum colour palette - with a huge choice of both vivid saturates and subtle pastel colours - but also, a choice of whites: Brilliantly cool (XPE) white or golden warm (XPG) white.
The newest addition to the range and measuring a slender 6ft by 50mm, the SmartLine 6 LED wash fixture assures instantaneous colour mixing across its length, via the 36 individually addressable, CREE MCE high intensity QUAD LEDs. SmartLine, which can be stacked either horizontally or vertically with no change to the pitch of the LEDs, is fitted with a 20 degree beam angle as standard, though other light-shaping diffusing lenses are available to vary the output beam.
