The 8PW and the 8PX lines of LED tape are both designed to be used with the ENTTIC pixel line of products
USA - From film to television to theatre and the concert stage, there are several tools beloved by designers; a recent addition to that list of must-have products is LED tape. Enttec has been leading the way in easy-to-use, bright, LED tape, and is now launching the 8PW and 8PX series of LED tape. Both offer designers a new option: White LEDs.

Both the 8PX and 8PW series of LED tape are individually addressable and suitable for both stage and architectural applications, as well as any other indoor application; their use is only limited by the imagination of the designer.

The 8PW and 8PX LED tape offers designers flexibility as well; they can be joined together, cut to a smaller length, and are available in three different densities: 30, 60 and 144 pixels per meter. As expected, the brightness increases with the pixel density. Both the 8PW and the 8PX tape are backed by 3M adhesive double side tape, making application even easier; both feature a 120 ° beam angle as well.

The 8PX is a full colour LED tape that includes white. For designers, this means that an unlimited rainbow of pastels have now been included in their colour repertoire. "The addition of white to the LED tape colour palette extends the colour gamut into a realm of tints that are really nice for jobs where vivid saturated colours are not the order of the day," notes Jeremy Kumin, GM of Enttec Americas.

The 8PW LED tape celebrates white in three shades: Warm (3200K), cool (7500K) and amber (1765K). Kumin notes, "Essentially, it is monochrome - there are no rainbows here, just lots of brightness on the output, while remaining flexible in terms of color temperature. This is especially exciting for the world of TV and film."

Like all of the Enttec pixel tape, the 8PX comes in different densities, which translates to different levels of brightness. At 30 LEDs per meter, the amber LEDs have 21 lumens per meter; on the other end of the spectrum, at 144 LEDs per meter, there are 331 lumens per meter. For the 8PW, the color order within each pixel is white cool-amber-white warm (WCAWW.)

The 8PW and the 8PX lines of LED tape are both designed to be used seamlessly and almost effortlessly with the ENTTIC pixel line of products. This includes the designer friendly Pixelator, the Pixie Driver and the Pixel Links.

The new Enttec 8PW and 8PX LED tape can be found supporting the Pixel Punk Revolution at LDI at Booth 161.
