Robert Juliat enjoys busy Prolight + Sound 2018
- Details
The French lighting manufacturer occupied a central position in Hall 3 at its stand C42, saying the area was “constantly busy” throughout the four days.
Robert Juliat sales director Claus Spreyer comments: “It’s impossible to say which product made the most impact as customers were keen to try out the new followspots, the SpotMe system and the new additions to the Dalis range, as well as our new LED profile spot.”
Alice and Oz, the 600W LED short and long-throw followspots, were first in the line-up, exhibiting restyled bodywork and the company's classic optical train to ensure Alice and Oz produce an output equal to that of conventional 1200W discharge models whilst boasting silent operation and smooth electronic dimming.
"Alice and Oz were designed with small to medium-sized venues and budgets in mind and the hugely positive response we have received shows we have got the formula right,” comments Spreyer.
Sharing its technology, output and quality of light with Oz and Alice is Robert Juliat’s newly presented range of LED profiles, the Charles 960SX series. This range of 600W LED profiles is available in three variable zoom ranges (29°/50°, 15°/40° and 8°/16°) and exhibits a high optical efficiency with a 6000K colour temperature and a CRI in excess of 90.
Also demonstrated on the booth was Robert Juliat’s SpotMe, its bespoke, 3D tracking system for followspots.
“SpotMe is a genuine and unique solution which combines high-technology and human control over the lighting design and operation at the same time. With SpotMe, the technology serves designers and operators with a special care for the artistic aspects. This aesthetic approach drives people’s interest in SpotMe,” observes Robert Juliat product manager Ludwig Lepage.
Two new members of the Dalis range were launched at the show, both featuring a four-colour mixing system (red, green, royal blue and 2200K warm white).
The Dalis Access 863 is a 150W LED cyclight designed to give those with smaller budgets the first access to Dalis technology. The Dalis 864 Footlight is a new, 150W colour variation of the original Dalis 862 tuneable white footlight designed for the creation of colourful upstage or downstage lighting.
"We are extremely happy with the way the show went and the scale of interest in all of our new products," concludes Spreyer. "It was an ideal forum for meeting our international family of distributors and clients whose great response to the range was beyond our expectations."
