Germany - Previewed at last year's PLASA Show, the impression spot one fixture is now being released onto the market. The impression spot one fixture "represents a breakthrough in LED technology for today's entertainment lighting market". Whilst soft edge washlight fixtures such as the original impression from GLP have been around for several years, the challenge was to create a high output performance spot fixture to match. Enter the impression spot one from GLP ... the first fixture of its kind to be released to the global market, declares the company.

The impression spot one features an RGB LED engine with eight or 16-bit control over each colour, allowing for delicate colour changes or instantaneous colour bumps. The spectrum it achieves has been calibrated to be as wide as possible - from soft pastel colours to deep saturated shades, and everything in between.

The colour field also remains even across the entire beam, no matter the size or sharpness of focus. The electronic control of the LED engine allows full and smooth dimming over the entire range along with fast, solid state intensity snaps and variable speed strobe rates of between one and 10 flashes per second.

The impression spot one incorporates the latest technology for performance, maintenance and long term operation. It has been designed for operation in noise-sensitive environments and will be as perfectly at home on a balcony rail in a Broadway theatre as it will in a busy TV studio environment, or touring the world as part of a concert system.

Beam flexibility is achieved through a motorised optical zoom system with a range of 10 to 32 degrees. Coupled with this is a motorised focus system allowing beam projections to be focused at any range.

Being an LED based fixture GLP has been able to keep the weight and size of the fixture as low as possible. Matching the impression Meisterstuck in terms of its baseless yoke, the impression spot one weighs just 22 kg / 48.5 lbs. For ease of use anywhere around the world, the fixture also features a fully auto sensing power supply which operates anywhere from 100-240V at 50/60 Hz.
