CHICAGO – Throughout the month of April, ILC has made continued investment in their equipment inventory and adding new lighting and control products to their rental offerings, including Martin’s MAC Aura XB fixtures, GT Truss from Tyler Truss, TMB EZ-LAN Unity Switches and ProPlex Fiber with OpticalCON connectors, MA Lighting NPU units and more.
More details from ILC (www.intelligentlighting.com):
Mac Aura XB
The Mac Aura XB continues to be an extremely in-demand fixture. This compact midsize wash fixture is versatile in both output and function. In the first quarter of 2016, ILC took delivery of over 100 Mac Aura XB units. In April, that investment continued with a purchase of another 120 units. ILC now has one of the largest fleets of Mac Aura XB’s in the Midwest US.
Fiber Optic Data Distribution and Network Processing Racks
In the production environment, quality and redundancy of data is extremely important. Projects are getting larger with more fixtures utilizing more channels of control. Copper FOH snakes are becoming obsolete. ILC’s purchase of TMB EZ-LAN Unity Switches and ProPlex Fiber with OpticalCON connectors provide an optical link between console and back-of-house networking. To streamline this, ILC has added additional MA Lighting NPU units in a standardized rack configuration, configured with onboard UPS, opto-splitters and switches in a shock mount rack that takes less truck space. Racks are pre-configured and arrive on show site ready to plug in. This clean package offers greater distances for FOH and faster data throughput. Customers can expect state of the art data processing and networking equipment from ILC.
GT Truss
Since January, ILC has made a significant investment in GT Truss from Tyler Truss. GT offers a very flexible pre-rigged solution for intelligent lighting fixtures while reducing costly site labor to rig fixtures and reducing the drayage costs of empty road cases in convention center venues. ILC has added additional 10ft GT truss sections along with corner blocks and other accessories. This provides the ability to service more customers with the cost saving efficiencies of GT Truss.
Portable Power Distribution
Power Distribution is mission critical for successful events. In April, ILC has placed orders with Lex Products for 48-way and 24-way PowerRACK™ distribution systems. The 24-way versions are unique in their removable caster plate and the ability to directly mount these systems to truss. Included in each 24-way rack is a TMB 1×8 opto splitter to add additional versatility on show site.
This significant investment in technology continues to position ILC as the leading production company in the Midwest United States.
