Last year's PLASA show was surprisingly good and we are optimistic that with all the fresh new products we and other manufacturers have come out with recently, customers will make the time to come out to ExCel in East London and see them all in action first hand," says Eric Loader, director of sales, Elation Professional.
The Sniper is a revolutionary hybrid beam, scanner and laser simulator in one that gives the creative LD an all-new tool to create stunning light shows.

The Sniper is powered by the new 132W Philips MSD Platinum lamp and houses 14 dichroic colours and 17 static gobos. It is the perfect high-energy effect light for clubs and other nighttime venues and can liven up any stage for tours and special events.
