Launched at the show and an award winner was Coemar's Reflection FullSpectrum, a new design of LED washlight that offers an interchangeable LED light source that directs light from a configuration of LEDs onto a parabolic reflector. This optical design eliminates problems common in other LED fixtures, including visible RGB dots and multi-coloured shadows; it also allows the light source to be moved relative to the reflector, giving a smooth zoom from 18-37°. The fixture is available in Full Spectrum RGB colour-mixing and VariWhite variable white versions.
Introduced earlier in the year but winning an award on its first PLASA appearance was Robert Juliat's Aledin, an LED profile spotlight that looks, feels and operates just like Juliat's traditional tungsten LED spotlights. "Robert Juliat's usual high standards have not been compromised in the search for a useable LED profile spot", the award judges commented.
Commended by the judges was the RevEAL CW colour-mixing LED washlight from Prism Projection, cited for its "notable colour rendering, particularly in the natural and pastel colours, which makes it viable for use in the theatre."
