LDI 2018: GLP creates latest impressions
- Details
Sharing their largest booth to date with their distributed brands, Scenex Lighting and Cosmic Truss, GLP US is taking a twist away from their consecutively award winning ‘black box’ presentations in favour of a customer-centric experience with a free flow of information and hospitality.
With the impression E350 supercharged LED moving head, GLP has “moved its development programme into the next generation”. The advanced LED engine offers “unprecedented output in its class, making the fixture perfect for any type of showcase event or installation where dynamic, articulated lighting is a key component”. At the same time, this quiet, flicker-free luminaire also meets the stringent criteria required by the broadcast / TV world.
The impression S350 is characterised by its white light LED-engine with full spectrum to create saturated and pastel colours (with optimised CRI in excess of 90). The other outstanding feature is the four-blade framing system, with each blade of the framing system able to fully close across the beam and pitch through 60 degrees. The whole framing unit can be rotated through 90 degrees. Smooth dimming and even field distribution are other stand-out features.
The IP54-rated KNV LED system can be used either individually or in combination. Designers can take advantage of two basic forms: the cube-shaped KNV Cube and the KNV Arc, a device in the form of an eighth circle. Billed as the first frameless LED module in the market to combine strobe, blinder and pixel-block, it looks allows production designers to “effortlessly build unique structures and create a huge variety of shapes that tune lighting into scenery”.
The impression FR1 is one of the most compact automated lighting packages available today. Using a single, high-powered 60-Watt RGBW LED at its core, the FR1 features colour mixing across a vast spectrum, while projecting a crisp, punchy white light, with a full range of colour temperature control. The FR1 provides a clean, homogenised output at all angles, making it suitable for a large range of applications, while a fast 3.5 to 34-degree zoom range gives full beam control.
