Due to the re-orientation of the InfoSport+ editorial line, a new studio was created by French designer, Philippe Désert, which led to new lighting requirements. Engineering project manager, Jean-Marc Delage, decided on Robert Juliat Tibo neutral white LED profiles, on the advice of French lighting director, Frédéric Dorieux.
This is not the first time Robert Juliat Tibo LED profiles have been favoured by Canal+. The same model was installed in 2013 at the InfoSport+ studio, at that time with a white body colour to blend with the studio's white feature ceiling. Successful comparative tests were conducted by the studio's technical team to evaluate the homogeneity of the colour temperatures between the units already used in the former studio and the new profiles. The new fixtures were proved to deliver consistent performances, and this homogeneity, together with Tibo aesthetics and compact design, definitely convinced the technical team. As a result Canal+ demonstrated its confidence again in Robert Juliat Tibo LED profiles by investing in a second shipment.
"We have the option to mix and match three-year old LED profiles with newly delivered ones, with no deviation in terms of colour rendering, which has led to significant money saving," Jean-Marc Delage stated. "In addition, the low energy consumption, the stability and reliability of Tibo profiles have been really instrumental".
Growing pressure to cut energy consumption has seen many TV studios turning to LED lighting. Tibo has come into its own, delivering powerful output from a 75W LED source with no loss of projection quality. Its die-cast aluminium body work has given rise to a stylish and compact unit design, whereas its exclusive optical device allows two different zoom ranges - from 15° to 45° - in one single unit.
