L-R: Martin Hawthorn and Ian Kirby.
UK - At last year's PLASA Show, Martin Hawthorn, MD of Hawthorn Theatrical, became transfixed by the new Impression LED heads on the stand of German Light Products (represented in the UK by LED-Lites). Before the end of the show he had confirmed his first order for 18 of the GLP heads, and in so doing was among the first customers in the UK to purchase these high-powered eco-friendly lights for rental stock.

By the time this year's ABTT Show came along the company had ordered a further 36 fixtures - divided equally between the RGB versions and Cold White/Amber.

The RGB version contains 90 Luxeon K2 LEDs giving it a high light yield capacity, with 30 each of the RGB colour LEDs able to create the entire colour spectrum. The White/Amber Impression contains 60 cold white LED's and 30 amber, to allow continuous colour temperature adjustment, down to 3200°K.

The fixtures offer 660° pan and 300° tilt - with a complete 660° swing taking less than two seconds; this makes it suitable for touring, stage and TV as well as clubs and bars.

However it is on an exhibition stand at the Farnborough International Airshow next month that Hawthorn Theatrical will debut the new fixtures."These meet the environmental concerns - particularly with regard to heat generation in an exhibition environment," stated Hawthorn. "It is the ideal solution as the cold white/amber Impression will enable us to get the colour temperature down to 3,200°K."
