Totally new is a range of white LED engines - initially to be shown at the exhibition in i-Pix's BB1 fixture. Also new is the BB2, a self contained two-cell fixture and the BB 2x2 which is made up of a pair of BB2s.
The versatility of the BB series, plus i-Pix' innovative LED control technology and attention to quality engineering and detail will be demonstrated in full.
i-Pix launches a range of white light LED engines, absolutely hot off the production line from Germany. Initially shown in the BB1 fixture, these are available now across the full BB range in Warm White, Cold White and a super-smooth Warm-to-Cold white mix.
The Warm White has a colour temperature of 3000 degrees Kelvin, the Cold white of 5700 degrees Kelvin and the tuneable white ranges between both these colour temperatures. The source is 25 Watts over 2000 Lumens from each light engine.
These light engines are designed for retrofit into existing BB fixtures and i-Pix will be shipping white led variants for the entire range
The BB2 is a two cell self-contained fixture, and the BB 2x2, a square four cell self contained fixture, both of which come with a removable fronts, giving the user the option of mixing up the optical systems.
The newest optic for the BB4 is also highlighted at the show. This gives an asymmetric-style performance to cyc and set illuminations, with an exceptionally even wash of light and smooth projection field from normal groundrow angles. Shipped as standard for the last few months, this optic provides a real bridge between a fixture capable of symmetrical and asymmetric beam angles.
Other new products introduced are the BB1, four-lamp power bar and the BB1 six lamp power bar - to which the new BB1 fixtures can be fitted.
Also new is i-Pix' funky waterproof Battery Bag that uses standard 12 volt batteries and provides complete stand-alone flexibility where power or lack of rigging time are issues. The Battery Bag can be used to power either a single BB4 fixture or the Power Bars individually.
