Versatile Le Cin’k and new additions for the acclaimed Lancelot launched at PLASA 2008, on stand D76 in the White Light Zone in Earls Court 2Robert Juliat, acclaimed manufacturer of high quality lighting equipment, will launch two new products at the 2008 PLASA Show, to be held at Earls Court in London from September 7th-10th. One of these products, the versatile new Le Cin’k Fresnel spotlight, has been shortlisted for the 2008 PLASA Innovation Awards.
Designed to fill the need for a powerful Fresnel specifically designed for theatre, Le Cin’k is a new range of 250mm Fresnel lens spotlights that can be configured to accept 2500W tungsten, 5000W tungsten or 1200W discharge (MSR/MSD) lamps, with a further option for a 2.5kW MSR hot-restrike module to follow by the end of 2008. The mirror, lamp base and metal lamp-house casing is designed as a single component that can be quickly and easily interchanged to suit the requirements of a particular show.
As well as its adaptability, Le Cin’k has been designed to overcome many of the problems theatre users face when trying to adapt studio Fresnels to theatre use. Le Cin’k has a double slot front cassette slot, removing the need to attach colour to the front of a fixture’s barndoors and ensuring no light spill from the fixture; the front slot can then accommodate standard theatre accessories, including Robert Juliat’s versatile barndoors with individual rotating leaves and the Robert Juliat Jalousie dimmer to give full dimming when a discharge source is installed. An optional fan-cooling module is available for the accessory slot; the silent-running fan will protect deep-coloured filters which would normally have a short operating life on a studio Fresnel.
Le Cin’k maintains the familiar Robert Juliat attributes of ease of handling, setting and operation, rugged construction, reliability, long life and ease of servicing: the unit’s power cable connects directly into the rear handle terminal for easy access during maintenance, and the focus scale pointer and yoke index enable the rapid restoration of focus settings.
Robert Juliat will also be launching three new motorised modules for their powerful 4000W arena followspot, Lancelot. The new modules are a motorised dimmer, the Noria gobo module, with gobo selection, index and rotation control for six gobos, and the Chromix progressive gel effect that allows for colour or diffusion effects within the beam.
Le Cin’k and the new Lancelot modules will be on show alongside other products from Juliat’s extensive range, in use in theatres, opera houses and events around the world; representatives from Robert Juliat and from the company’s exclusive UK distributor, White Light, will be on hand to discuss the full product range.
Robert Juliat will be found on stand D76, on the White Light Zone in Earls Court 2. PLASA 2008 runs from September 7th-10th at Earls Court in London; further information about the show can be found at www.plasashow.com.
