Compare the most recent LDI show’s offerings with luminaires featured a decade ago, and it’s clear that IP-rated fixtures have taken the industry by storm. Here’s a look at what’s now available, along with an explanation of what the IP rating numbers mean.
The LDI Show returned to Las Vegas after a busy year of live event productions across North America. The aisles were busy with production pros seeking to gear up for another busy year ahead, with exhibitors unveiling as many new products as steadily improving supply chain conditions would permit.
Claypaky has a number of new products its showing at LDI 2022, including the World Premiere of the Volero Wave, an LED bar with original and innovative features. It is made up of a system of eight moving heads, each one independently capable of a 220° tilt, thus producing never-seen-before three-dimensional volumetric projections. Each of these heads contains a brand-new mirror-based optical system combined with 40W RGBW LEDs; the innovative concept behind Volero Wave was to be able to move the entire light source on its axis, thus preserving the same intensity of the light flux in any position of the tilt range. The beams always appear extremely sharp and collimated, parallel to each other thanks to the 2.9° projection angle. Their synchronized movement produces an impressive wave of light, all the more overwhelming the more Volero Wave units you seamlessly connect to each other. When fitted on the Claypaky Panify, they can even be provided with an endless variable-speed pan rotation, making the Volero Wave the most dynamic effect light on the market. Here’s a video preview of the Volero Wave from Claypaky:
Claypaky took part in PLASA 2022, welcoming a large number of industry professionals and practitioners from all over the world at its booth and in the spacious rooms set up in the Henley Suite.
Alberico D’Amato, Claypaky Sales Director, said: “PLASA was, as ever, a ‘must-attend’ event for the British market, which has always been one of the most dynamic and proactive in our industry. However, we were positively surprised by the number of customers from other European countries, and even from Asia, Australia, America, and the Middle East. It is a show with an international dimension.”Read More »Claypaky Presents a Wide Range of Products at PLASA
