GLP at PLASA 2016After a highly successful year with its new product portfolio -- notably on the London West End stage -- GLP's solutions continue to evolve, as will be evidenced at this year's PLASA Show at London Olympia, September 18 - 20. Visitors to the GLP booth E60 will see the new GT-1 hybrid, which the company says 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-degrees). 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 GLP's 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- to 34-degrees) -- but significantly it is also IP65 rated so it can be used outdoors, running from an external PSU / data box.
