Blizzard Lighting: Typhon™ IP Profile 1000
This month PLSN brings our readers a focused look at the Typhon™ IP Profile 1000 luminaire from Blizzard Lighting. For many rental shops and venues with both indoor and outdoor spaces, having a moving light that has an exterior weather rating to stand up to rain, dust, and other environmental effects is important—and makes economic sense. It won’t matter as much indoors (though there are theatrical shows that it wouldn’t hurt either), but outside in the rain and weather, not having to bag—and unbag—your lights is a big timesaver, not to mention a healthy insurance against damage. With its IP66 rating, the Typhon IP Profile is an automated moving head luminaire designed for exterior usage in all kinds of atmospheric conditions.
This moving head fixture, that uses a 1,000W white LED light engine, has a 540°/270° pan and tilt range, electronic focus, and an 8:1 motorized zoom range of 5°-40° (50° field angle). For easier handling getting it in and out of it’s included ATA spec road case, the Typhon IP Profile comes complete with pan and tilt locks and handles on the base.
Color System
The Typhon IP Profile includes several ways to create color for designers. With its CMY color mixing system + CTO filter, the light offers a wide range of diverse hues that are easily accessible. The light also has a six-color (+open) color wheel that allows for color indexing and variable speed rotation via DMX, enabling users to create a wide array of colored lighting effects.
Framing, Gobos, and Effects
Like the conventional profiles that were the basis for the automated moving light, this fixture includes shutters, gobos, iris, strobe, and other ways to animate and add effects to the light. The Typhon IP Profile features a four-blade framing shutter system that’s rotatable up to 110°, along with six replaceable rotating gobos, plus an open slot, as well as seven static metal gobos, plus an open slot. For motion and animation effects, the Typhon IP Profile includes a bi-directional four-facet rotating prism, frost filter, and an effect wheel. All ways to add some movement and visual effects to the beam of light.

ADJ: PAR Z LED Luminaire
PAR cans have an indisputably iconic look. The new ADJ PAR Z Series takes this classic external design and combines it with highly efficient LED light engines. They look the same as a regular black PAR can, but now offer outputs comparable to a 1,000W sealed beam PAR, but with a fraction of the heat and significantly reduced power draw. The PAR Z100 3K2 has a warm white 100W COB LED source; color temperature of 3,000K. The PAR Z100 5K2 has a cool white COB LED source; color temperature of 5,000K. Both have adjustable beam angles of 9°, 15°, 20°, 25°, or 30°. The PAR Z150 RGBA has a 150W RGBA COB LED engine, with five beam angle options of7°, 11.5°, 16°, 20.5°, or 25°.
AOTO: RM Series LED Video Panel
AOTO recently launched the new RM Series LED panels for Virtual Production and XR studio work. The RM Series product features RGBW LEDs with high-density, ultra-fine 1.5mm, 1.95mm, & 2.3mm pixel pitches and static drive technologies. The series stands out, equipped with high refresh rates (7,680Hz) with 144 Hz frame rate and brightness along with a pressure-resistant anti-slip surface, providing perfect visual effects for real-time interaction and detailed presentation in XR studios. Features include 1/6 scanning mode, 99.6% DCI-P3 color gamut, and low reflectivity (<5%) reducing the effect of light on the screen. For curved screens, RM panels support accurate ±2.5° ±5° arc installation with self-scale and lock structure. The no-mask design gives the RM panel 170° viewing angles in both vertical and horizontal directions.
Ayrton: Kyalami Luminaire
The Kyalami, an IP65-rated laser source, ultra-compact luminaire, was inspired by the Ayrton MagicDot. A sphere of just 265mm incorporates a 100W laser module, cooling system, and optics with a 126mm front lens. A proprietary three-lens optical system produces a 1° beam and produces 400,000 lux at 10m. The color section includes a high-definition progressive CMY color mixing system and a multi-position instant-access color wheel equipped with five corrective filters, and 17 complementary color filters. Graphics include a choice of 29 fixed metal gobos, that can be blended with two individually combinable rotating prisms for volumetric lighting effects. A light and heavy frost filter completes the graphic tool palette. The Kyalami measures 10.43” x 16.929”x 10.43” and weighs 31.967 lbs.
Claypaky: Skylos Luminaire
The Skylos is more than just a searchlight. Its custom 300W white light laser source ensures a parallel, uniform beam while addressing temperature and safety concerns. It is weatherproof, being part of the Shield Family (IP66), featuring high resistance in harsh weather conditions and environments with high marine salinity and high risk of corrosion. Its internal heating system enables performance in extreme temperatures – 40° ~ +113°F. Solar Shield is a system of passive and active metal sheets that shade the engine and internal components from sun exposure. Claypaky also introduced Skylos NV (Non-Variance)—the first lighting moving head* in its power class based on laser technology (phosphor-converted white) on the entertainment lighting market exempt from FDA CDRH variance. *Not based on scanning or rotating mirrors/optics.
hazebase: Base Touring2 Hazer
Available in Single or Double Highpower2 configurations, the high-output units feature a built-in 450W fan, allowing the dense output to be pushed further and quicker than before. Utilizing the air diverter at the front of the unit, It now becomes a huge haze effect filling stadiums in a fraction of the time. The Base Touring2 reaches operation in less than 14 minutes. It can be controlled via one channel of DMX or a built-in onboard timer. Wired and wireless controllers are also available. Water-based fluid is designed for any environment—from a quick dissipation to a dense fog that hangs in the air. Fluid consumption ranges from 120ml/min at minimum output to 240ml/min maximum output. The unit can run continuously at 50% output.
INFiLED: AMT Series Transparent LED Panel
The AMT Series, a transparent LED panel offers remarkable transparency, lightweight structure, and straightforward setup process. The AMT product, with a 70% transparency has an 8.33mm pixel pitch, and a brightness of 5,000 NITs. The panel size is 1,000 x 1,000 x 108mm. Modules are embedded in the frame, which is made of carbon fiber and magnesium alloy to prevent damage. INFiLED’s unique glueing process gives the AMT series LEDs anti-static, moisture-, dust-, and mildew proof qualities with front and rear protection levels of IP65. The panels support concave or convex curves of 0°, +/-5°, and +/-10°. Panels are easy to remove from the front and hasp locks and quick release components allow for easy maintenance of the power supply and modules from the rear.
Vari-Lite: VL2600 SE Series
The VL2600 SE Series, an upgraded version of the Vari-Lite VL2600 Series, includes the recently announced SE Upgrade Engine built-in. The SE versions, which include both a profile and a wash, feature an upgraded 570W light engine. The VL2600 SE Profile offers 23,750 lumens of output, while the VL2600 SE Wash offers 27,500 lumens. Users with existing VL2600 Series fixtures have an upgrade path if they wish, since the existing units can easily be upgraded to receive the same output by using the VL2600 SE Upgrade Engine. Both Profile and Wash fixtures provide a broad choice of saturated colors thanks to the CMY color system and variable CTO adjustment. Both fixtures also include a fixed color wheel for snap color changes and split colors.
Yes Tech: MG9 Series LED Video Panel
The MG9 Series employs TET technology, which results in a stronger bond of the LEDs to the circuit board, thus providing a better connection that is more resistant to physical damage. This enhances durability and reliability, thus reducing maintenance costs. TET technology allows for a maximum load capacity of 4.6 tons, especially useful for LED floors. The MG9 Series features a high grayscale 16-bit output and a refresh rate of up to 7,680Hz, delivering exceptional image quality. The patented MG dance floor mask ensures a 160° viewing angle, making it suitable for 360° shooting. It also features an innovative curved connector, so the panel can be disassembled directly from the entire curved screen, simplifying the setup process, and saving time.
