GLP impression X5 Wash Luminaire

On February 16, 2022, German Light Products (GLP) held an online launch event for its new impression X5 luminaire. Here’s a teaser video of the product:

The GLP impression X5 is the latest LED automated wash light, featuring 19 40W RGBL LEDs with remarkable output and increased color gamut. Features include GLP’s new iQ.Gamut calibration algorithm and a 16:1 zoom range from 3.5° to 60°. As part of the new GLP X5 family, it offers a wide feature package including selectable calibrated white points, a tungsten simulation channel, magenta / green correction, virtual color wheel and variable CTC, along with twin layer effects with plenty of dynamic pattern macros.

GLP’s new iQ.Gamut calibration algorithm ensures the impression X5 creates clean white points with CRI 90 at 6,500K and the ability to switch to other fixed color temperatures instantly, all calibrated exactly to the black body line.

With new super-fast zoom mechanics, the impression X5 offers a 16:1 range running from 3.5° to 60° with homogenous light distribution across its entire range. A new front face with a circular design offers a fresh modern look, a round aperture and has been designed to include geometric patterns for great looking Pixel mapping effects.

The impression X5 comes complete with an extensive feature package, including a virtual color wheel with 64 referenced LEE Filters, a new Color Quality Control, Magenta / Green Correction, a Tungsten Simulation and Effect Channel and a double layer effect option.

Featuring GLP’s trademark baseless design, the impression X5 weighs just 29.3 lbs. (13.3 kg). Its design also allows static front accessories or even electromechanical effect modules to be attached. The impression X5 can be controlled via DMX, Art-Net or sACN and can be easily set up using Near Field Control.
