New Line of Lycian Followspots Now Available

Following its unveiling at LDI last fall, Lycian Stage Lighting reports that its new line of followspots is now available.

With these products, the company says it is answering the needs of the market for high quality, American made, reasonably priced followspots with a minimal form factor. Schools, houses of worship, theatres, and cruise ships are all target markets.

The new line consists of four fixtures designated Zot 12, a 1,200W Tungsten, Zot 5, a 575W MSR, Zot 7, a 700W MSR and Zot 12HP, a 1,200W MSR. All are built on a common platform with identical features differing only by the light source and associated cooling and electronics.

All Zots include the Lycian spot size control coupled to a nichrome iris, an internal self-cancelling color boomerang, bayonet-style lamp/socket for rapid no-tool lamping, forward angled yoke for extreme downward tilt angles, an advanced rear-controlled three-disc fader, and fine focus control.

The company says that Zots' compact size make them ideal for truss mounting, small enough for theatre coves and box boom positions while still having enough output to be capable of front-of-house performance.

"The new Zot line represents a great value considering the output and features," said Steve Lerman, director of sales. "It's offering American-made Lycian quality at a price that's more than competitive to imports and continues the modernization of our moderate priced fixtures following the introduction of the Mini Arc and 1250KB over the last two years. While the sleek body will get your attention, it's the light quality that will astound."
