After
a highly successful year with their new product portfolio — notably on the
London West End stage — GLP’s inventive
solutions continue to evolve, as will be evidenced at this year’s PLASA Show (London Olympia,
September 18-20).
Visitors
to their booth (#E60) will see the new GT-1 hybrid, which has been causing such a stir on the
international circuit in 2016 — although this will be its first appearance at
the London show.
Functioning
as both a Spot and a Beam the combination of a high powered 470W discharge lamp
and advanced optical system has resulted in a high performance beam with an
enormous 22:1 ratio zoom range (from 2.5° to 55°).
Easy
to accommodate, with its unique baseless design, the GT-1 also features inbuilt
wireless DMX control, full 16-bit pan and tilt movement, full range dimming and
shuttering capability, an in-built battery for fixture setup, an auto-sensing
power supply and a low weight of just 25kg.
Another
major breakthrough is the upgrading of their tiny X4 Atom, first previewed at
last year’s PLASA Show. This non-moving LED fixture has now been supercharged
with a new 30W lamp source to increase the output and performance.
States
GLP Inc president Mark Ravenhill, “This is a really cool upgrade to a great
fixture. We have not only managed to re-engineer the product without affecting
the other popular features — but also intend to upgrade all the existing
fixtures in the market free of charge.”
The X4
Atom itself offers an impressive 9:1 zoom ratio (3.5°-34°) — but significantly
it is also IP65 rated so it can be used outdoors, running from an external PSU
/ data box.
