Utopium's six figure investments have added significantly to the choice of modern LED lighting the company can offer event organisers and lighting designers.
Utopium's managing director Colin Bodenham comments, "Having listened to clients, applied our experience and researched recent product releases, we've added some revolutionary lights to our inventory. LED technology means improved sustainability and economy through reduced power consumption and being small means less transport and weight loading. The colours and output from these relatively small fittings are incredible and we are all looking forward to having less weight to rig in roofs or truss."
There are four key elements of the investment:
The cutting edge SGM P-5 Washlight and SGM X-5 Strobes have already established themselves as international products on multiple World Tours, combining an impressive array of technical advancements to improve creative and control options, reliability, with vastly improved power consumption to output ratio.
SGM's X-5 LED strobes deliver the same output as conventional strobes from one fifth of the power (at four amps) and create unique effects never delivered before by a strobe. Housing 2,970 LED's with power consumption of just 360W, it is designed into three individual cells to boost creativity.
The SGM P-5 is low-profile fixed, rectangular, full RGBW LED wash light, with an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor architectural use. It establishes its green credentials by providing an efficacy factor of 52 lumens per watt (channelled through various lens options).
With all of the same benefits afforded by LED's, the award winning Chauvet 4 x 4 Nexus LED effects panel is a tour-ready light, easy to use and capable of delivering the wow factor of a pixel mapping display with a robust light output.
Chauvet Legend 419 and Legend 412z LED wash lights are both pixel mappable, featuring a really wide zoom. The latter unit is a much smaller, quicker unit with a tight beam offering flexibility for different uses and lighting looks.
Colin concludes, "Clients who understand what we have bought are already excited that these lights will be available to them to spec, and as we go through a busy summer of festivals, concerts, product launches and corporate events, I'm sure all of our clients will also appreciate the benefits of this new technology once they've seen it in action."
