ZWOLLE, Netherlands – HA-Rental is the first rental company to purchase fixtures from the Philips Selecon professional LED luminaire range – the PL3 – for its rental stock. Hans Alders, owner of HA-Rental, was responsible for initiating the sustainability project of the VPT (Dutch association of stage technology), and the PL3 investment was consistent with that initiative, where companies strive to be "green, safe and clean."
The order, handled by local Philips Entertainment Lighting dealer, Rolight theatertechniek BV, also included a number of low voltage (80V) 1200W Philips Selecon Pacific fixtures and some 800W Philips Selecon SPX luminaires.
"Replacing 2000 and 2500 watt fixtures with the new Philips Selecon 80 volt 1200 watt Pacific High Performance profiles really makes sense," said Alders. "They considerably reduce power consumption without compromising on light output.
"The SPX luminaires easily equal the crisp, white light expected from a much larger, power hungry 1.5kW fixture," Alders added. "The fixtures deliver high definition pattern projection as well as the color results today's lighting designers expect from their filter choices."
Summing up, Alders noted that he was "delighted" with the new PL3s, and "even more delighted when they immediately went out on hire to Dutch National TV, a live event, and a theatre show."
