PL+S: Philips Lighting set to rock Frankfurt
- Details
The new products will be incorporated into the lighting design for the stand, which will transform into a stage for a performance from Dutch rock band TOM on Tuesday 4 April between 6pm and 10pm. The group sees a line-up of the original members of popular Dutch group The Marshalls, formed in 1995 (TOM stands for The Original Marshalls), who are well known on the European festival scene, in particular the infamous Zwartecross motorcross festival.
New products launching on the Philips Entertainment Lighting stand:
Philips Vari-Lite VLZ. The first in a new range of spot, profile and wash luminaires from the iconic product line, the Philips Vari-Lite VLZ utilises the latest high output white LED sources to produce a staggering 25,000 lumens projected from a 180mm (7") front lens.
Philips Showline SL BEAM 500fx. The larger version of the popular Philips Showline SL BEAM 300fx, the new Philips Showline SL BEAM 500fx offers designers exceptional output from its 37 RGBW LEDs whilst being fast, quiet and extremely versatile.
Philips Showline SL BAR 720ZT. The new, high performance linear wash and effect luminaire offers designers smooth and seamless washes of color from studio to stage.
