LightParts Buys Shapeshifter for Rental

	Craig Burross, sales manager High End Systems; Don Pugh, president of LightParts; Renaat DeWilde, VP of sales High End Systems; Robert Mokry, CFO of LightParts; and Richard Belliveau, CTO High End Systems.

LightParts has expanded into the sub rental business with the purchase of 18 High End Systems Shapeshifter C1 RGB fixtures and eight Shapeshifter W1 white LED fixtures. Shapeshifter features 126 Cree XPE II LED's, arrayed into seven independently controlled modules housed in one moving fixture with a beam angle of 10-degrees. Each independent module is capable of 36-degrees of X/Y movement, and the fixture's pan and tilt is ultra fast. For quick programming, Shapeshifter offers more than 140 module macros with speed and crossfade controls, along with total control of every parameter.

Don Pugh, president of LightParts says, "Our customers have been asking us for years if we offered rental gear. After seeing the Shapeshifter demo, we determined it would be the perfect first investment for sub-rental for LightParts. Shapeshifter is a flexible, high output LED wash as well as unparalleled LED effects fixture, and we think customers will use this light for illumination as well as eye candy."

Craig Burross, sales manager for High End Systems said, ""LightParts is a well-known support services and sales resource for many entertainment clients. It is a real pleasure being a manufacturer associated with the launch of this expansion for LightParts; a new non-competitive production rental dry hire provider in the center of the US. The timing couldn't better."
