The award judges congratulated the ETC Selador fixtures for "taking a significant step towards the ultimate goal of energy efficient incandescent replacement lighting." They continued by pointing out that "ETC has developed this LED fixture with a colour output that gets close to the spectral curve of traditional incandescent source, thereby making LED technology a step closer to wider use in theatres and similar applications."
Outside of the awards, the PLASA show was, says ETC's promotions and advertising manager for Europe, Rosi Marx, a complete success, with product specialists giving demonstrations throughout the four days. "Although visitor numbers seemed to be down, in general we had a very busy stand," she adds.
The Selador demonstrations weren't the only ones grabbing visitors' attention: ETC's Unison Mosaic architectural control system, SmartBar 2 portable dimming and Element lighting control console were "all extremely popular".
Element is ETC's newest lighting desk and is designed with smaller theatrical venues and schools in mind. This no-fuss system targets conventional lighting control in smaller venues.
