XL Video, the award-winning provider of video solutions to the entertainment and events industries, has announced an investment of more than $15 million US in a range of new LED products and accessories to support its plans for growth in 2014.

The LED investment has been made with a range of suppliers including Shenzhen-based Unilumin Group Co. and its subsidiary Radiant Opto-Elec Technology Co Ltd. to purchase a series of LED products based on the latest technologies. In total more than 1,200m2 of LED products for the XL Video rental business will become available from February onwards. The LED investment covers among others:

• 2.5mm high contrast LED
• Lightweight 3.9mm Utile LED
• 18mm Magic Cube outdoor and indoor LED
• 7mm blackface Magic Cube outdoor and indoor LED -- said to be the first of its kind in this segment
• The latest innovation of 18mm hybrid LED which combines LED screen with LED spotlights in the same panel. This invention has been designed by the XL Video R&D center and serves entertainment industry clients with their wish to have one solution for video and lighting.
