LD's such as Mike 'Sooty' Sutcliffe, Gurdip Mahal and Darryl Noad have been sourcing their luminaires from the Broadcast & Event division of production rental company, Panalux, headed by managing director Ed Pagett, and business development manager, Simon Roose.
Containing 90 Luxeon K2 high-power LEDs (30 x RGB), the Impression boasts a higher light yield than that of a conventional 575W discharge lamp. And with its rapid 660° of pan and 300° tilt, it is suitable for the television sector - particularly large location spectaculars and reality shows.
Additional advantages of durability, low energy, low heat dissipation, light weight and interchangeable lens are currently proving a winning combination for Sutcliffe and Mahal (on The Guinness World Records), Mahal again (BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year) and Noad (Celebrity Big Brother).
