Having firmly established their impression platform as a market leader in LED moving lights they have this year branched out into a versatile batten in the form of the X4 Bar 10 and double length X4 Bar 20 - which perform a myriad of functions from a conventional cyclorama to a wall washer and mid-air beam sweeper.
Aside from introducing the local market to these bar lights - which are already being highly specified on top tour riders - GLP also reports that the new impression X4 L was extremely well received by LDs who could immediately see the creative possibilities offered by the pixel-mapping function.
In fact over 200 fixtures have already been specified for use on a single blue chip event - part of a large initial market demand for the product which has seen orders for over 500 fixtures placed by major rental companies (in addition to those initially ordered by Gahrens & Battermann).
In addition, 120 of the larger X4 XL heads were sold to two dry hire companies alone, ensuring that more of these fixtures are now available for general use in the marketplace to meet the increasing demands.
GLP also presented two versions of their new domes: one designed for the smaller X4S / X4 fixtures and one for the Spot One / Wash One profiles.
Summing up the show, Mark Ravenhill, president of GLP Inc, said: "Our presentation this year impressed customers and distributors from around the world, who could experience the X4 Bar, impression X4 L and G-LEC into fully-integrated lightshow presentations that they could thoroughly enjoy. The stars of the show were probably the X4 Bars which we were able to show in a multitude of applications."
