Designed to fill the need for a powerful Fresnel specifically designed for theatre, Le Cin'k is a new range of 250mm Fresnel lens spotlights that can be configured to accept 2500W tungsten, 5000W tungsten or 1200W discharge (MSR/MSD) lamps, with a further option for a 2.5kW MSR hot-restrike module to follow by the end of 2008. The mirror, lamp base and metal lamp-house casing is designed as a single component that can be quickly and easily interchanged to suit the requirements of a particular show.
As well as its adaptability, Le Cin'k has been designed to overcome many of the problems theatre users face when trying to adapt studio Fresnels to theatre use. Le Cin'k has a double slot front cassette slot, removing the need to attach colour to the front of a fixture's barndoors and ensuring no light spill from the fixture; the front slot can then accommodate standard theatre accessories, including Robert Juliat's barndoors with individual rotating leaves and the Robert Juliat Jalousie dimmer to give full dimming when a discharge source is installed.
Robert Juliat will also be launching three new motorised modules for their 4000W arena followspot, Lancelot. The new modules are a motorised dimmer, the Noria gobo module, with gobo selection, index and rotation control for six gobos, and the Chromix progressive gel effect that allows for colour or diffusion effects within the beam.
Le Cin'k and the new Lancelot modules will be on show alongside other products from Juliat's extensive range, in use in theatres, opera houses and events around the world; representatives from Robert Juliat and from the company's UK distributor, White Light, will be on hand to discuss the full product range.
