"Unlike many retrofit LED lamps on the market today, the new lamps from GE maintain a high standard of colour quality and do not compromise on light output," says Andrew Davies, LED senior product manager. "Very significantly, they are designed to fit the international standard size & shape for the lamps they are intended to replace, meaning users will not get unpleasant surprises when attempting to retrofit them into existing sockets."

Included in the range is a GU10 lamp. Consuming only 4 Watts of power, the GU10 offers "superior beam intensity to a 20 watt halogen GU10 lamp, whilst matching the wide flood beam angle given by halogen". This allows for 80% energy saving to be achieved. Colour temperature is a warm white 3100K whilst colour rendering

"Ribbon microphones have always been prized for their warm sound quality, but their delicate nature has limited their use to controlled conditions," said Scott Sullivan, Shure's senior director of global product management. "We knew there was demand for ribbon microphones that could be used in a much broader range of applications."

The KSM353 and KSM313 use a new patented ribbon material known as Roswellite, which offers higher tensile strength and more resilient shape-memory properties than a traditional foil ribbon, says the company.

Like the Doughty floor plate, this handy widget allows the hook clamp, complete with wing nut and washers, to be slotted into a secure fixing, which is mounted on a standard spigot fixing. This is then simply inserted into the lighting stand to present an immediate solution to stand-mounted lanterns without the fiddly process of removing the hook clamp.
