The latter uses 90 Osram Diamond Dragon 5W RGB LEDs in each head. This is one of the world's brightest single-chip SMT LEDs (offering up to 250 lumens). PR Lighting sales director Cui-Lin states that the light output closely resembles that of a conventional wash light containing a 1200W discharge lamp, with the advantage of excellent colour mixing and high uniformity of the white beam. The standard beam angle is 22° but 10° and 35° options are also provided.
"We are delighted with the response we have received to both this and the StarBrite, which proved so popular with customers that we received an instant order for the display backdrop."
The StarBrite LED cloth comes with a dedicated flight-cased PR-8710C controller. IPX3-protected (against spraying water), the StarBrite comes with 12 preset programmes, contains a total of 144 LEDs (18 x 8 sequences), with 30,000-hour lamp life.
