USA - GLP will use this year’s LDI Expo as an opportunity to celebrate 30 years in lighting, with a lavish party at The Venetian at the end of the opening day.
This will be on the back of five new products being showcased at the GLP booth (#2549) in both production and prototype versions. For many LDs, designers, specifiers and rental houses it will be their first opportunity to get up close and personal with this next generation of show production lighting.
Already in production are the new Mad Maxx, Fusion Exo Hybrid 40 and Impression S500. These will be joined in prototype form by the JDC Burst 1 and Impression X5 IP, which will start shipping in Q1 next year.
Also on display will be the already popular Creos washlight (18 x 40W RGBL LEDs in three lines of six pixels).
IP65-rated and suitable for festival use, the GLP Mad Maxx boasts a massive 750mm beam diameter. This makes it a beam fixture comparable with classic 3kW and 7kW xenon beam lights and can thus be used as a SkyBeam as well as a fat beam on stages.
Compared to alternative 3kW or 7kW xenon fixtures, which are typically used for this effect, the Mad Maxx is very compact and doesn’t need high ampere power infrastructure; with only 2500W the fixture can easily be connected to the normal power distribution network. This allows an energy-efficient power consumption for easy power infrastructure and environmentally friendly operation.
The latest member of the Exo Series, the IP65-rated Fusion Hybrid 40 is a beam-spot LED fixture designed for a wide range of applications, prioritising optimum operational efficiency in terms of function, operating environment and fast ROI.
Based on a 380W white light LED, excellent optics with a 135mm front lens and a zoom range of 3.8° to 46°, it offers great light output for small to medium-sized stages, as well as for outdoor use at festivals. In addition, there is an extensive functional package for spot, beam or wash applications.
The GLP Impression S500 Series upgrades the 350W moving head to a robust 500W LED engine, offering up to 65% more output. Comprising two spotlights and a washlight, the series excels in versatility and precision.
The new Burst 1 is a powerful, outdoor LED tiltable strobe and wash light, designed for outdoor use. It contains a powerful white strobe line and two RGBW LED plates for clean white punch and 12 x 4-RGBW segments (and is FVP video compatible). IP65-rated, it offers protection against wind, rain, dust, dirt, fog fluid and confetti particles.
Making its public debut at LDI, the Impression X5 IP showcases exceptional performance, powered by 19 40W RGBL LEDs designed to excel even in challenging environmental conditions. Integrated with GLP's advanced iQ.Gamut colour algorithm, which autonomously adds lime to the mix in RGB mode, the X5 IP achieves a pristine white output at 6,500K as standard white point. It also provides the flexibility to switch swiftly between other fixed, precisely calibrated colour temperatures.
