Tomcat Zig-Zag Truss

Tomcat’s new Zig-Zag Truss combines the advantages of Pre-Rigged Truss (efficient truck packing and speedy load-in/load-out) with a hinging spigot design that lets users fold the truss system over itself for efficient storage/travel and trouble-free unfolding via vertical lift and pinning applications. The strength found in Zig-Zag truss comes from its 2-by-3/16-inch chords, 1.5-by-1/8-inch small horizontal tubes, 2-by-1/8-inch large horizontal/vertical tubes and 21-by-1/8-inch diagonals. It also features steel spigots, 1/4-inch end plates and 2-inch round studs for extended stability and durability, conserving truck space and saving time for end-users.

The new Lighting Pod from Tomcat offers LDs a broader canvas for their creations with walls of light that can be built on a much larger scale than with traditional truss profiles. Featuring adjustability and flexibility, the Lighting Pod gives them many lighting options within one framework that can be utilized both vertically and horizontally. The Lighting Pod is designed with strength and durability in mind, extending lighting wall possibilities with structural elements that are stable to stack and convenient to transport.

Signify/Philips Vari-Lite VL10 BeamWash

Signify’s new Philips Vari-Lite VL10 BeamWash luminaire was unveiled at LDI 2018 in Las Vegas Oct. 19-21 after successful tests on prime-time television and live concerts were held earlier this fall. The first lighting fixture to be designed around the new Philips 25R Platinum 550W lamp, the VL10 BeamWash promises a new level of power, dynamics and personality in a compact, fast-moving body. Features include 28,000 lumens of output, a 2.2-48 degree zoom range, eight-slot rotating gobo and aperture wheels with 12 designs, including beam reduction to a laser-like 0.7-degrees and a range of bold break-ups and aerial dynamics. Designers can access a further layer of design versatility with the exclusive new VL-FX glass animation wheel system, while mega-stepping, twist and shake control also add to the creative mix. Effects can be softened with the internal frost, and strong, even washes can be created using the dedicated wash mode. And along with an enhanced CYM color system and fixed color wheel, the fixture’s large 180mm front lens gives a stage presence usually associated with far larger fixtures.
