High End Systems’ SolaWash Pro 2000 and SolaSpot Pro 2000 will be featured at LDI 2015. The company notes that, for the first time, its featured LED fixtures will be brighter than their 1500W metal halide equivalents, while using only half the power.
More details from High End (www.highend.com):
Joining the broadest LED moving light range on the market, the SolaWash Pro 2000 and SolaSpot Pro 2000 both utilize the latest in bright white LED engine technology. At the heart of both units is a 600 watt LED engine producing a stunning 35,000 lumens of crisp, bright and even light output.
The SolaWash Pro 2000 combines three products in one. Two variable custom edge wash filters produce varying degrees of soft edge without compromising light output. When variable wash is disengaged, the SolaWash Pro 2000 offers an incredibly powerful five degree beam at the narrow end. Together beam and wash provide an unparalleled 5.5 to 51 degree zoom! All of this is coupled with a full field framing system with rotation to create what others would need three fixtures to achieve. Additional features include CMY + CTO, two color wheels (one interchangeable) and an iris.
The SolaSpot Pro 2000 is packed full of features, giving the designer complete creative freedom. Two rotating Gobo wheels, two fully retractable Animation wheels, two rotating Prisms, an Iris, a fixed color wheel and a CMY + CTO system (which designers have been raving about) are complemented by specially designed long throw optics, allowing sharp focus to be achieved throughout the entirety of the 8 to 45 degree zoom range, perfect for use on large scale stadium shows. Both fixtures also include High End Systems’ patented thermal control software, making these high brightness fixtures whisper quiet by default, far quieter than their metal halide counterparts.
High End Systems’ General Manager Chris Ferrante comments, “There is no longer a need for designers to compromise between output and silence, between a flat even field and a punchy look, and between what the show looks like on the first day and after 200 hours of lamp life. The future is LEDS and that future has arrived.
“The launch of these new products in the SolaRange continues our aggresive introduction of cutting edge LED technology. Last year we released the SolaSpot Pro 1500 and a year later we are raising the bar once again. Most exciting of it all is that we are not stopping there – and it is not just about products. Along with our partners we are building an incredibly strong team here at High End Systems and we cannot wait to see everyone at LDI this year.”
The company also recently restructured their sales force: Eastern US Regional Sales Manager Sean Hoey, Western US Regional Sales Manager Ruediger Haeming, VP of Business Development Renaat De Wilde and APAC/Greater China RSM Jamie Boey are joined by Central US RSM Paul Hancock. Also on the team is HES veteran Bobby Hale in the key role of Business Development Manager, Fixed Installations.
Key company sales and technical personnel will be in attendance at LDI October 23-25th on High End Systems’ Booth #1016 to give customers a closer look at these latest innovations. Part of the Barco group, High End Systems is the world’s foremost manufacturer of entertainment lighting and control products.
