The highest profile of these was the Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace, which featured the new i-Line battens from i-Pix. Building on the success of the renowned BB range, the i-Line 600 and i-Line 1200 RGBW battens are incredibly bright with beautifully smooth output, a true 'next generation' LED fixture.
The next generation of profile spotlights from Robert Juliat will also be on show following their debut at PLASA Focus in Leeds a few weeks ago. Tibo is a compact, lightweight dual zoom range profile with light source options including tungsten, warm white LED, neutral white LED and cool white LED all in a new compact, lightweight body. Zep is a high-output LED-only profile spot with a 150W white LED array available in two colour temperatures and with three different lenstubes.
A wide range of LED wash and flood fixtures will also be on show, including the RevEAL Studio Fresnel 3, the JB Lighting LED A12, and Leader Light's Stage and Proline ranges, all offering energy-efficient, high-output colour mixing, while the Galaxia LED softlight provides variable colour temperature white light in a compact package that is proving hugely popular with television lighting directors.
For those working outdoors, the new IP65-rated Flood30 white light uplighter from Core Lighting will be on show along with the company's established Point20 and Point30 battery powered, wirelessly controlled outdoor fixtures.
LED isn't yet the right choice for every application, and White Light will have a wide range of other fixture types on show, including Coemar's Infinity Spot and Infinity Wash moving lights, the Robert Juliat Buxie 575W MSD followspot, Rainbow colour scrollers on ETC Source Fours, and the ever-popular VSFX3 optical effect system shown with the Juliat 350LFX effects projector.
Those who still love tungsten will also enjoy the award-winning Gleamer nine-way low-voltage dimmer rack, perfect for controlling Aeros, Svobodas and similar fixtures. Other control products on show will include the MDR 10-way DMX splitter, LSC Lighting's e24V3 touring dimmer rack and Clarity VX20 wing, Interactive Technologies' family of advanced lighting playback devices, and the powerful Arkaos A30 media server.
Staff from White Light will be on hand throughout the show to discuss all of these products and the full range of services the company offers including lighting hire, sales, installation, service and training.
