Step up the Clay Paky GlowUp. A deceivingly simple design of 4 x 10w LEDs that functions equally well, whatever the chosen orientation is powered by a built-in lightweight lithium battery that can absorb 2000 charge cycles without loss of capacity.
Ambersphere Solutions have recently supplied a large number of units to Blitz Communications, thereby doubling their previous stock level. Andy Mahaffey, head of lighting at Blitz, explains the rationale, "From almost the first moment we stocked the GlowUps it became apparent that we needed to purchase more as our existing stock was always out and our demand was so high; at one point I don't think there were enough in the country to facilitate the demand. On top of our own stock, we also exhausted the rental companies that could sub-hire to us.
"It became essential if we were to properly service our clients' needs that we significantly increased our stock level. The great thing about the GlowUps is their versatility in the widest range of environments you could imagine. They go out on all kinds of jobs: from banking conferences and museum events to awards shows and even festivals. Their control features - using one of the preset sequences or a user-defined programme - make them equally attractive to either the complete novice or the seasoned operator."
