PL+S 2018: GLP set to break new ground
- Details
These four fixtures will either preview, or enjoy European premieres at Frankfurt Prolight+Sound. They line-up alongside establishing luminaires where the combined fixture count will be well over 1000 items.
The stage set, described as “mind-blowing”, has again been designed by Volt Lites’ Matt Shimamoto and shows will take place approximately every 30 minutes.
States GLP managing director, Udo Kuenzler, “Our new portfolio offers designers the most diverse choice ever. From the possibilities of the new KNV to the Force 120 we really expect to turn heads at Prolight+Sound.”
Heading the roster is the KNV. Billed as the first frameless modular LED module in the market to combine strobe, blinder and pixel-block, the KNV Cube and KNV Arc are the components of a modular LED system that can be used either as a single unit, or combined in an innovative interlocking system. It looks set to become a game-changer, as it allows production designers to effortlessly build unique structures - such as a double unit or quad cluster, all the way up to huge matrixes.
By combining the GLP KNV Arc, it is possible to create a vast variety of shapes such as a ring, wave design or even letters. Combined in a single module the fixture has the capability to output an incredible 50,000 lumens.
The design brief for the impression S350 was simple: Develop the best product in the mid-range class, with an unparalleled feature set.
The key feature is the precise four blade framing. Each blade of the framing system can be adjusted in angle by ±30° and in position from 0-100% for pointed triangles and complete blackouts. There are no limits in Gobo or Animation wheel framing with real linear framing image. The whole framing unit can be rotated by ±45°.
Additionally, the compact fixture houses an eight-facet prism and a two-way-frost. All functions are fully capable of working in combination with one another.
With near silent operation, the impression S350 is suitable for every kind of venue and event that requires a powerful fixture in a small and subtle housing, with all the low maintenance benefits of LED technology, from a proven manufacturer.
Also enjoying its European premiere, the GLP impression FR1 features colour mixing across a vast spectrum, whilst at the same time projecting a crisp, punchy white light, with a full range of colour temperature control.
GLP’s new Force 120 fan effect fixture is a break from the company’s traditional moving lights. Measuring just over 1.4m square, the housing contains a large diameter variable speed fan which can run at speeds as low as 30 rpm, right up to 750 rpm and switch from one extreme to the other at lightning speed.
