Wireless battery powered lighting manufacturers
CORE Lighting report an excellent PLASA 2014 exhibition at London’s ExCeL
Centre, which they seized as an opportunity to launch the new little PinPoint
fixture.
CORE\’s extremely cute and highly dynamic little
PinPoint – made in the UK as with all their product range – attracted huge
attention!
Already in production, the tiny IP65 rated wireless
pin-spot / birdie weighs just 700 grams while its single LED lightsource outputs
a punchy 300 lumens.
The head is connected to the base of the PinPoint
via a flexible stainless steel \’gooseneck\’ for maximum focusability, and the
brushed aluminium housing gives a contemporary, streamlined finish which looks
fabulous in any environment.
Further options are added with the base capable of
vertical or horizontal orientation making it ideal for sitting on shelves.
In another touch of innovation, the base is
magnetic for easy clamping to metal objects of all types – including lighting, sound
and video mixing consoles and control equipment – where it can provide working
light in awkward and challenging spaces.
PinPoint is designed to be used as feature lighting
for events of all types and specifically to tastefully highlight table centrepieces,
floral arrangements and other scenarios that need tight, detailed
spot-lighting.
The standard battery life when fully charged will
give an impressive 14 hours of illumination, and an extremely expediently sized
flightcase of 10 units offers total portability for a PinPoint system including
an integral charging facility.
PinPoint is an exceptionally versatile and
cost-effective solution which is invaluable to anyone involved in staging or
supplying events.
“Reaction to the PinPoint was excellent,” reports
CORE’s Phil Ion, adding that the PLASA stand – located in the ‘village’ of
distributor White Light – “Saw a steady flow of traffic, especially busy on the
Monday and Tuesday, and there was a lot of interest across the full product
range”.
In addition to the PinPoint, CORE showed its
flagship POINT30, ColourPoint and FLOOD30 fixtures at the show – all of which
were well received.
The ColourPoint is a lightweight lithium battery powered LED event
up-lighter with full wireless DMX control. It is IP65 rated for outdoor use and
offers a powerful 2000 lumen output
ideal for lighting up to 3 storeys of
architecture / buildings / space, medium sized trees and foliage and excellent
for powerful wall-washing in marquee tents & buildings.
Utilizing
the latest quad-chip RGBW technology the colour mixing is smooth and
homogenized and, as with all CORE products, it’s robustly built to withstand
life on the road – which is helping it to become the up-lighter of choice in
rental across the UK and parts of Europe.
The workhorse CORE POINT30 is an IP65 rated high-brightness, high-colour battery powered architectural LED uplighter
with wireless control. It has an extremely high brightness of 2500 lumens and
will light up trees, architectural features, pathways, monuments, building
facades, marquees etc. The unit is housed in a compact and rugged 25 cm case
and weighs just 8 Kg. POINT30s can also be powered and charged from mains
electricity.
The FLOOD30 is for high brightness outdoor
applications needing a serious amount of light output – battery powered and
IP65 rated, its potent neutral white LEDs produce over 7500 lumens – equivalent
to a 750W tungsten halogen source – but for a fraction of the running costs and
in a highly convenient and easy to rig package. The FLOOD30 provides instant
light where no power is available and can illuminate distances of up to 100
metres.
The head folds flat for stowage and protection
during transportation and can be removed for mounting on a multiple accessories
including a tripod / pole system which is attached to the base. A mains-powered
version of the FLOOD30 is also available for fixed installations.
“We were incredibly pleased to show our products
again at PLASA,” enthuses Phil Ion.
“We always look forward to meeting existing
and new customers from UK and overseas. It was great to see an incredibly
positive reaction to the new PinPoint, and we are looking forward to getting
these into customers’ hands and seeing the results of all the hard work and
development being put to good use.”
