Philips Entertainment Lighting to launch new products and turn trade show stand into exclusive rock gig at prolight sound 2017
Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam ticker: LIGHT), a global leader in lighting, today announced it is gearing up for Europes biggest entertainment technology expo, Prolight Sound 2017, where it will launch new stage and studio lighting products as well as showcase recent releases.
The new trailblazing products will be incorporated into the lighting design for the stand, which will transform into a stage for a performance from Dutch rock band TOM on Tuesday April 4 between 6pm and 10pm. The group sees a lineup of the original members of popular Dutch group The Marshalls, formed in 1995 (TOM stands for The Original Marshalls), who are well known on the European festival scene, in particular the infamous Zwartecross motorcross festival.
New products launching on the Philips Entertainment Lighting stand:
Philips Vari-Lite VLZ. The first in a new range of spot, profile and wash luminaires from the iconic product line, the Philips Vari-Lite VLZ utilizes the latest high output white LED sources to produce a staggering 25,000 lumens projected from a 180mm (7) front lens. The familiar CMY-CTO color system creates stunning, seamless mixed colors. Color shake and color wheel spin control have also been added to the mix, offering lighting designers a plethora of vibrant effects. Hard to soft edge focusing can be controlled through the 16-bit focus control channel as well as the 3-way frost control. The combination of the color and beam control makes the Philips Vari-Lite VLZ the go-to professional moving spot luminaire.
Philips Showline SL BEAM 500fx. The larger version of the incredibly popular Philips Showline SL BEAM 300fx, the new Philips Showline SL BEAM 500fx offers designers exceptional output from its 37 RGBW LEDs whilst being fast, quiet and extremely versatile. The effective precision optical design allows the Philips Showline SL BEAM 500fx to function as both a beam and wash luminaire. Not only that, it achieves a myriad of beautiful, intricate multi-beam effects through the individual pixel mapping of its LEDs and rotating front lens, offering designers infinite possibilities from a single fixture.
Philips Showline SL BAR 720ZT. The new, high performance linear wash and effect luminaire offers designers smooth and seamless washes of color from studio to stage. Truly versatile, it also delivers distinctive, dynamic beam effects from its DMX motorized zoom and tilt and powerful output.
Philips Showline SL SUNLED 10. Ideal for studio environments, the fixtures ten cells of fixed white LEDs deliver a blended wash of warm white light emulating the conventional halogen studio strip light whilst offering reduced power consumption, low heat output and minimum maintenance. A tungsten mimic option shifts the color temperature as the luminaire dims, providing the distinctive warm tungsten look at lower light levels.
Also showcased on stand will be the new Philips Vari-Lite VL6000 Beam and Philips Showline SL LEDSPOT 300. Since its release in January, the Philips Vari-Lite VL6000 Beam has illuminated such high profile events as Lady Gagas critically-acclaimed Super Bowl HalfTime Show performance and her collaboration with Metallica at The GRAMMY Awards. The Philips Showline SL LEDSPOT 300 has proved ideal for studio as well as stage lighting, providing dynamic effects on the current series of Channel 4s The Last Leg.
The latest additions to the Philips Strand Lighting range of television broadcast lighting, the Philips Strand Lighting 200F and 400F Fresnels and Philips Strand Lighting 150S and 300S Softlights will be available for demo in a specially built mock studio on the stands second level. The Softlights have already proved popular, being used on the Great South African Bake Off 2016 and Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2017.
Connected remote control
Alongside the television studio there will be a control tower area, displaying Philips Lightings connected control systems and the latest version of its Vision.net lighting management platform.
