KaiChang Lu has a comprehensive background in optical design, and between 1996-2007 worked as director for R&D/design at British Optical (International Optics).
"I have worked in the Entertainment Lighting industry for more than 20 years and optimised the optics for different manufacturers including Martin Professional profile spots from MAC 500 up to MAC III - and before that optical work for High End Systems - so I am confident that I can contribute to securing the future growth of GLP in the professional lighting business," says KaiChang.
GLP's business director, Kasper Gissel, states: "We strive to develop and manufacture top quality luminaires and know that optics are key elements in the lighting fixtures; therefore I am delighted that KaiChang has decided to join our R&D team, which today consists of more than 10 highly dedicated and skilled engineers."The first development from the extended GLP R&D department will be the impression Meisterstück which will be shown at ProLight+Sound next month. The Meisterstück is a silent 650W LED (RGBW) moving head wash light for TV and Theatre, with one unique colour mixed beam, to avoid any colour shades, and with variable zoom from 7 to 28 degrees.
