Joining valued dealer A.C. Entertainment Technology Ltd on stand F30, Philips will also be demoing the latest products from Philips Vari-Lite, Strand Lighting and Showline, which have enjoyed global success since launching this year.
A much-loved range of workhorses, the PL1 MK II Series now offers boosted colour benefits such as colour consistency across the family of matched products, increased colour rendering and no colour fringing. The MK II luminaires will also have a higher output balanced with reduced operating sound.
"We are really excited to demo all the fantastic additional features of the PL MK II range to PLASA London visitors," says Philips Entertainment Group Europe general manager Grant Bales-Smith. "The new benefits breathe new life into what is already such a popular series and we've seen a lot of interest building."
Set to be a further highlight is the Philips Vari-Lite VL4000 range. The VL4000 Spot was the talk of PLASA London 2014, winning an Innovation Award for its color-animation wheel and quiet yet powerful 'Studio' mode.
Hot on its heels came the multi-functional VL4000 BeamWash, which is both a stunning wash and powerful beam light. A huge hit with lighting designers internationally, the VL4000 BeamWash is currently traversing the globe on AC/DC'S Rock or Bust tour with lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe.
Also launched this year and available for demo on the AC-ET stand will be the Philips Strand Lighting 500ML Console, intuitive to use and tailored for small to medium sized shows. The 500ML followed the highly flexible NEO, which saw expansion this year with brand new Wings, Playback Controller and Rack Mount. Philips product manager Bill Richards will be showcasing both consoles and their features on stand.
Last but not least, visitors can get to grips with the latest LED products from Showline. The SL PUNCHLITE 220, the SL STRIP 10IP and the SL BEAM 300FX all hit the market in 2015.
