Major UK rental companies making recent investments in the Impression Zoom include Lite Alternative, GLS and Fentura Productions, all of which have been supplied through AC-ET.
Blackburn based Lite purchased their first GLP 120 RZ Zooms 14 months ago when seeking a dynamic new style of moving light fixture. These went straight out on tour with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, specified by LD Matt Arthur. Since then, they have been utilised on numerous tours and events. Sixteen fixtures are currently out on the Chemical Brothers' new world tour.
Southampton based GLS is run by Ian Turner and now has over 30 GLP Impressions - all the 120 RZ Zoom version - in its inventory, which are described as "Definitely our most successful purchase in recent years," by Turner.
Fentura Production Services purchased 24 GLP Impression 120 RZ Zooms and also 16 GLP Volkslicht Zoom fixtures - possibly the first company in the UK to take delivery of these - a value engineered LED moving head option from GLP which is designed for projects with smaller budgets.
