Wireless in Germany -- Event Technology Service Providers Invest in Battery-Powered Cameo ZENIT Series

Independent Power Supply Trend: Throughout 2019, several event technology service providers in Baden Württemberg and Hesse have invested in battery-powered Cameo ZENIT B200 wash lights. The professional LED outdoor spotlights are now available in three-figure quantities from the warehouses of b&b eventtechnik (Filderstadt), 8days a week (Neu-Isenburg), music express veranstaltungstechnik (Stuttgart), and iLUX Veranstaltungstechnik (Waiblingen).

The references and specialist areas of the individual service providers are many and varied, and as such, so are the demands placed on the ZENIT B200. Applications range from live concerts and festivals, event locations, and industry events to exhibition construction and architectural projects. In this way, the LED outdoor wash lights were used among other items at the Stuttgart Lighting Festival (iLUX), the 2019 National Garden Show in Heilbronn (music express), at the opening of the new premises of a Stuttgart law firm (b&b eventtechnik) and at Palais Thurn und Taxis in Frankfurt (8days a week).

In addition to reliable battery-operation and battery management for accurate planning of operating periods, the service providers were looking for a powerful LED flood, which, thanks to wireless control options via W-DMX, can be used for a wide range of applications and also offers flexible mounting.

"We have been using he battery-powered ZENIT models since January 2019," says Florian Fischer, managing director of 8days a week, who have also invested in a large quantity of ZENIT B60 IP65 PAR spotlights in addition to the ZENIT B200. "Since then, both models have proven themselves at a wide range of industry and exhibition events and, among other items, have been very popular guests at a variety of Lufthansa events."

The outdoor wash lights also passed their baptism by fire at b&b eventtechnik and iLUX: "The feedback from the lighting designers and technicians was consistently positive. The light output and handling were particularly impressive," confirms Heiko Blattert from iLUX, who has been using the ZENIT flagship W600 for a long time for facades and decorative lighting.

Stefan Mayer, managing director of music express, adds, "For us, the ZENIT B200 is a kind of Swiss army knife that has clearly beaten its competitors in an internal comparison test."

Featuring battery operation, wireless DMX and IP65 classification, the Zenit B200 is great for sophisticated lighting tasks in both indoor and outdoor areas. The highly professional wash light is equipped with 21 powerful 15 W RGBW LEDs with a 50,000-hour lifespan and a luminous flux of 6,600lm to deliver brilliant and consistent colors. The ZENIT B200 is equipped with Cameo's innovative SnapMag technology, which enables rapid changes of filter frame and beam angle.

In addition to RDM-control, seven DMX modes and infra-red or spotlight display, the ZENIT B200 also features an integrated 2.4 GHz W-DMX transceiver from Wireless Solution Sweden AB. LG Chem's high-energy lithium-ion rechargeable battery is fully charged and provides reliable operation for up to 24 hours in RGBW mode, while the smart battery management system protects the battery from overcharging and deep-discharging to give it long life.
