The impression X4 Bar 10 and impression X4 Bar 20 are high performance battens that incorporate 15W RGBW LEDs packed tightly to give a full line of light. The X4 Bar 20 measures 40"/1m in length and uses 20 LEDs, and the shorter 20"/50cm X4 Bar 10 uses 10 LEDs. The battens produce a smooth, homogenised output across the batten through a broad pallet of pastel and saturated colours, complemented by dimming which ensures that there is no colour shift, just smooth, even fades, the company says.
DMX control offers full pixel mapping capabilities, whilst both units feature a 7:1 zoom ranging from 7 to 50 degrees, giving effects from a narrow angle light curtain to a wide angle washlight. The X4 Bar also features a motorised tilt, for fast refocussing or to be used to add more dynamics to the output beam. Multiple X4 Bar units can be aligned, and maintain consistent pixel spacing between adjacent units. The X4 Bar is complemented by Powercon in and thru connectors for easy daisy chaining without the need for an external PSU, multiple DMX modes, rubber feet for floor mounting and quarter-turn attachments points for rigging.
Also on show will be the new high output, impression X4 XL. This big brother to the X4 uses an incredible array of 55 RGBW high output LEDs, each rated at 15 watts, coupled with a highly efficient zoom range from a tight 7° to a wide 50°. With its large front aperture, the X4 XL produces a massive amount of light that will throw for extremely long distances. The fixture continues the baseless design that has become synonymous with GLP, keeping the fixture as small and compact as possible, despite its huge output.
Scenex Lighting, the range of scenic LED elements from GLP will be showing the full range of pixel controllable LED tapes which range from 32 pixels per meter, right up to a high resolution of 144 pixels per meter. These will be displayed in a variety of extrusion housings and coverings which are now part of the standard product range.
Also getting its LDI debut will be the latest version of AirDMX, a WIFI based wireless DMX system that runs from a standard Apple Ipad. An intuitive graphical interface is downloaded for free onto any iPad and then connects to a remote box giving a full universe of wireless DMX control at low cost. Latest features include an expanded show management system that includes the ability to easily share shows across different iPads, say GLP.
