Lycian Stage Lighting Introduces Two New Followspots at LDI

	Lycian Stage Lighting's 1274 Superstar 1.2 Short

Lycian Stage Lighting introduces its two newest followspots, the model 1274 Superstar 1.2 Short and the 1276 Superstar 2K, 2,000W MSR.

The Lycian 1274 was unveiled at PLASA London 2014 and is now available for sale. The Superstar 1.2 Short brings all the controls favored for years on its sibling, the 1275 Superstar, one of Lycian's best selling followspots, but in a more compact form factor and with a smaller diameter front lens.

With its short overall length the 1274 offers a remarkable size to output ratio. As a short throw, optically the 1274 is designed for throws to beyond 100' / 35m. It utilizes the Osram Sharx series 1,200W double-ended lamp positioned in a dichroic glass reflector.

The Superstar Short is capable of beam widths from head shots to two person circles or greater in much of its optimum operating range.

The 1274 top-mounted control cluster includes levers for a fader, nichrome iris, and horizontal chopping shutters. A single-lever trombone intensifies the beam as the diameter is reduced. An internal self-cancelling six-color boomerang is included as is a magnetic ballast and folding three-legged stand.

"The 1274 should excel in those applications where space is tight but a versatile, clean, bright beam is required. The Superstar Short offers the ability to iris down to a head shot but is fully capable of generating a brilliant wide beam," said Steve Lerman, director of sales. "We expect the Superstar Short to gain rapid recognition worldwide, as it is available in all international electrical requirements."

The model 1276 Superstar 2K is a 2,000W version of the Superstar. The 1276 is recommended where a bright non-xenon followspot when medium to long applications are present. The control cluster is common to the Superstar family, intuitive and ergonomic. The 1276 Superstar 2K utilizes an MSR 2000 single-ended lamp. "The Superstar 2K takes its rightful place as a major step up from 1,200W and 1,800W followspots from both Lycian and others," said Lerman. "We are pleased to now offer a family of Superstars with an identical feature set."
