The TruColor technology enables the SpotMax to achieve complete colour consistency, meaning that customers will always receive the exact sa
"We're thrilled that PLASA recognised the Source Four Mini," says ETC fixtures product manager Jim Uphoff. "It was a big draw at LDI, and is becoming a popular choice for lighting professionals, because it's so versatile, going where larger fixtures can't. It may be cute, but it's a powerful tool that deserves a place in any designer's toolkit."
In addition to being a product showroom, the ETC stand also served as a functional theatre, staging a series of presentations on lighting fixtures and system design. It was standing room only for the LDI guests who packed the booth to hear E

Prolyte partner A.C. Lighting Inc. was instrumental in examining the market and identifying the advantages of developing the TwinPin format.
TwinPin offers build-up benefits whilst capitalising on the exceptional speed and performance of the internationally renowned conical coupler truss format pioneered by Prolyte in the early Nineties.
The TwinPin format enables truss grids to be built on the floor as one set of the holes sits horizontal to the ground negating the need to lift the truss to insert the pins. The other set of holes enables this TwinPin truss to still mate with existing Prolyte H Series truss. The excellent load bearing capacity of the truss is not affected by the extra hole. However, the 4-sided orientation will be r
