This innovation means that lighting designers will be able to bring you more dynamic, unique, and utterly mind-blowing visual effects at concerts, clubs, professional sport arenas, parties, and more because they will no longer be restricted to light sources that stem from one static point, says the company.
Hermann Fruhm, the inventor and co-founder of Parasol Systems says: "This technology will revolutionize the lighting industry. Parasol has literally added a new dimension to the lighting business that we now call the 'Z-axis'. The 'Z-axis' is a patented technology that allows lighting designers to move the lighting fixtures themselves." The company boasts three product lines: The STAR600, Kinetic Light Ring System (KLR), and Automated Cart System (ACS) which have appeared all over the world including Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Most recently the KLR10 has taken centre stage for the latest instalment of the Step Up movie franchise and has been significantly highlighted in all of the film trailers and in the finale dance sequence. Brian Pearson, ASC, director of photography for Step Up 5, raved about the flexibility and dynamic nature of the product, "Parasol's KLR10 was really the show-stopper on the motion picture Step Up 5 - 3D, surpassing my best expectations in terms of performance, reliability, and flexibility. From the moment I saw it I just knew it had a place in our big dance finale sequence."
