Lighting Innovation has successfully distributed Wybron products in Austria for several years, resulting in a strong relationship between the two companies. Lighting Innovation's founder, Hermann Sorger, known worldwide as the main engineer behind the successful Pani projectors, said he is was very happy with the new direction the alliance is taking: "I am very excited about working together with Wybron.

The CYM colour-mixing system offers designers a myriad of colour options, from pastels to deep colours. The Vari-Lite colour-mixing system is fast, responding almost like a fixed colour wheel, so designers can quickly snap from one colour to the next. The VL2500 fixtures also have an 11-slot fixed colour wheel that allows designers even more freedom to create new looks and designs by laying any of the 11 colours over open white or
The new HUI range replaces Selecon's Acclaim Cyc, Flood and Groundrow range from October 2004. Fitted with a 500W lamp, it is suitable for cycs up to approximately 5m high. The use of the 800W P2/11 lamp allows for high intensity colour saturated cycs, smaller studios and to light higher cycs where luminaire hanging height is limited.
The LUI range of 1000W luminaires is designed for larger cycs or longer throws, particularly for users unable to affo

The ISO De Balancer will convert two balanced low impedance signals to unbalanced low impedance signals, suitable for use with professional equipment and long cable runs. Transformer ground isolation provides low-noise operation and ARX says ideal source units are the ARX Level 8 Audio Balancer and Level Optimizer and the AudiBox Iso Balancer.
Typical applications include interfacing professional standard systems to consumer level product, such as sending audio-for-video around venues for AV displays, plasma screens and the like in sports centres, museums and corporate applications.

The set featured numerous LED screens, which featured abstract
Onstage, a large proportion of the heat was generated by the 24 Par 64 cans lighting the small area. This gave Morrissey a flash of lateral inspiration. He'd originally seen James Thomas's PixelPARs in action at PLASA 2002 - when they were launched. Morrissey approached JTE, and worked out a deal for replacing the conventional Pars with PixelPAR 90s. Including the wiring, it cost a little over half of what the air-con costs
DL2 also reduces space and installation time, with no need for RGB cabling, and servers are no longer necessary at the front-of-house position. DL2 resembles an intelligent moving luminaire and controls just as easily, with plug-and-play operation using standard DMX cabling and protocols.

CTI's president Gary Fails said: "We just listened to our customers who asked us to build this device.

Walker explains: "Blackpool is world famous for its illuminations, and the time was definitely right to get some new lighting technology onboard. Lighting can make or break a show, and we wanted to have the best lightshow in town."

Open to the public from 22 October to 7 November, this is the first year that black light has designed and installed the lighting for the Enchanted Forest. "The Hermitage had come up with a theme of the four seasons, but that wasn't entirely practical. For example, how do you portray 'summer' in a forest at night in the middle of autumn?" says black light's Paul McGreal. "We thought that having focal points was important, as opposed to a linear route which is more-or-less the same throughout. We felt the four elements - Earth, Fire, Air and Wa
