TruColor LS squeezes the Remote Phosphor Technology (RPT) found in Cineo’s TruColor HS into a smaller, lighter package. Along with an ample volume of soft light, TruColor LS promises an extended CRI over 95, a 160-degree beam spread and the ability to run on less than 170W of AC power. Instead of direct light from LEDs, TruColor LS, like TruColor HS, have independent phosphor panels that get “excited” by high-frequency wavelengths from blue LEDs. This lets users achieve a variety of color temperatures through the use of interchangeable phosphor panels.

Elation’s TVL4000 packs 1600 cool and warm white LEDs (800 of each) into a 27-lb. panel measuring 26” x 23.75” x 5.” Users can adjust the color temperature from 2900K to 6000K. The entire fixture draws just 160W at full output while providing 960 lux at 5 meters. The flicker-free fixture has built-in 5-pin and 3-pin connections for DMX control with an LED menu system on the rear for configuration and local control. Adjustable barn doors are included.

Lightpanels’ 1×1 LS Bi-Color gives users the ability to dial in color temperatures from daylight to tungsten and anything in between while maintaining a consistent intensity of full spectrum, soft, directional light. As with Litepanels’ 1×1 Bi-Color, the LS model promises flicker-free analog dimming, AC or DC power options and rugged build quality, but the more “entry level” LS is controlled locally at the fixture; there’s no DMX control or remote control dimming functionality.

Mole Richardson’s new line of MoleLED Fresnels leverage the company’s Quantum Dot LED technology, developed to duplicate single-color 3200K Tungsten and 5600K Daylight Fresnels. The MoleLED line includes the 100W  TweenieLED (with a 4.5-inch lens), 150W BabyLED (with a 6-inch lens; pictured here) and  the 200W JuniorLED (with an 8-inch lens). Along with a borosilicate glass Fresnel lens, each fixture offers a universal power supply, built-in local dimming and on-board DMX dimming functionality.

Videssence’s Vidnel VN100 LED Fresnel promises to serve as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional tungsten Fresnels. With a 98 CRI and color temperature of 3200K color (5600K optional), the single 100W LED is designed for flicker-free dimming without color shift. A manual slide bar at the side of the fixture focuses the beam and locks in place. The fixture runs without internal fans, and a touchpad allows for programing for DMX control/dimming. The fixtures has a standard six-inch gel frame and barn doors.

d3 Technologies’ Release 11,  the latest upgrade for the company’s real-time 3D stage simulator, timeline based sequencer, video playback engine and content mapping software, include QuickCal, a new way to get projectors lined up on site; a more powerful video playback engine (a single 4U machine now plays up to 12 layers of HD video, twice that of R10, and handles video files up to 8K pixels wide) and LiveUpdate, with automated editing updates across large master/slave networked systems.  Other R11 upgrades include native LTC support, lower-latency video capture and lightweight recordable tutorials with audio.
