GLP has announced the full production release of the latest
addition to its product range: the X4 Bar.
The range
features two fixtures, the X4 Bar 10 and X4 Bar 20, both of which are high
performance battens offering flexibility to today’s lighting designer across
multiple applications.
The GLP impression X4 Bar uses high output RGBW LED’s
that are packed tightly to give a full batten of light, with 20 LED’s used in
the 40 inch long (100cm) X4 Bar 20 and 10 LED’s in the shorter 20 inch (50cm)
X4 Bar 10. High quality optics ensure a smooth, homogenized output across the
batten through a broad pallet of pastel and saturated colors. This allows for
subtle graduated fades, or for distinct color breaks between LED’s. This is
complemented by GLP’s exceptional dimming which ensures that there is no colour
shift, just smooth even fades.
DMX control offers full pixel mapping capabilities,
allowing a whole multitude of dynamic fades and chases through intensities and
colors.
The X4 Bar 10 and X4 Bar 20 both feature a 7:1 zoom
ranging from 7 to 50 degrees, giving effects from a narrow angle light curtain
to a wide angle backlight or washlight.
The X4 Bar also features a motorized tilt, for fast refocussing
or to be used to add more dynamics to the output beam.
The X4 Bar has been specifically designed to give
consistent pixel spacing between adjacent units, an important visual aspect for
many designers when using fixtures in full view of the audience.
The X4 Bar is complemented by Powercon in and thru
connectors for easy daisy chaining without the need for an external PSU, along
with multiple DMX modes, rubber feet for floor mounting and ¼ turn attachments
points for rigging flexibility.
Advanced versions of the X4 Bars have already received a
favorable response from leading LDs on both sides of the Atlantic, having
appeared on several high profile events, most recently the American
Idol Finale and the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.
