PL+S: GLP launches linear FR10 Bar
- Details
With a new optical system, the FR10 Bar uses a larger size output aperture, as featured in the impression FR1, giving a new look from a familiar style. The FR10 Bar contains 10 sources, each with a high output 60 Watt RGBW LED that colour matches with the entire GLP X4 and FR series of fixtures. Each individual source features smooth, full range colour mixing with strong, punchy output from a homogenised Fresnel lens. Along with individual colour control, the FR10 Bar contains a series of built-in colour macros and a large reference of industry standard colour filters.
The GLP FR10 Bar has a 10:1 ratio zoom range of 3.5 to 35 degrees, but what separates the FR10 from any other product on the market is the ability to control each of the zoom lenses individually and independently. This functionality brings a whole new level of creativity, design possibility and flexibility to the concept of linear lighting.
At its narrowest angles, the FR10 Bar produces clean, seamless flat sheets of light that are incredibly dramatic and piercingly beautiful, along with arrays of pin point beams of light. At wider angles, the FR10 Bar can wash areas and surfaces of stages, walls, cycloramas and much more. The addition of individual zoom control gives huge mid-air possibilities, along with the subtlety when needed, to get clear focus control on specific performance areas, at an individual pixel level.
The GLP FR10 can be rigged in any orientation and has in-built rubber feet for floor mounting. Built-in safety attachments and a tilt lock for transportation are all standard, along with a battery controlled menu system for easy fixture setup at any time.
Also on show at Frankfurt, the KNV Line and KNV Dot fixtures take the concept of physical flexibility and match it with raw power in an expansion of the KNV creative family of units from GLP.
With five high powered RGBW pixels in a simple linear format, the KNV Line has the ability to join seamlessly with the KNV Cube and KNV Arc. It features an attachment point on each side allowing it to couple directly to other KNV units and extend both simple and complex structures, in cooperation with the KNV Cube and KNV Arc. Each KNV Line contains five of the same RGBW pixels as featured on other units in the KNV range with full colour mixing, dimming and shuttering power, with complete pixel mapping capabilities.
The KNV Dot is a single pixel source with full RGBW colour mixing capability and a powerful output for a smaller point source. It is both compact and lightweight allowing it to be placed in the smallest spaces, and easily built into set pieces and staging risers.
