Eurolite presents innovative light umbrella

Eurolite and lighting designer Christian Schatz present the LED Umbrella 140, an affordable basic version of the popular effect theREALthing#1. This light umbrella is a design element, which is used for numerous big international shows, like for example the upcoming tour of Chris de Burgh. With the Eurolite LED Umbrella, this light effect will be available for productions for a smaller budget.

Quickly create a stage setting

For quite some time, there has been a trend towards wide, extensive light elements in the stage design. The LED Umbrella follows this trend. So what’s special about these umbrellas? They are set up in no time and easily create a fancy scenery. With a diameter of 140 cm, they are very wide. A few devices are enough to fill out even big stages or to selectively create accents. Another advantage: They need very little space, so you can transport 6 umbrellas in a normal car without difficulty.

Color effects

The design of the umbrella is based on a reflector umbrella, which is used in the field of photography. A hexagonal unit with RGB LEDs makes it a light effect. The unit is inserted at the center and lights up the umbrella from the inside. This unit also features a small plate, which can also be illuminated, so the audience sees its light.

With or without DMX

You can operate the umbrella either in stand alone mode or via DMX. In the 24 channel mode, the inner lighting is divided into six segments, which can be controlled individually. Combined with the central light field, seven segments can so create any desired color independently of each other. Due to the three dimensional design of the umbrella, countless creative possibilities unfold.

 

Cooperation

The LED Umbrella originated through a cooperation between Eurolite and the well-respected lighting designer Christian Schatz (klinkertor studios). Together with Eurolite, he developed this umbrella as a basic version of his exclusive original (theREALthing#1, constructed by LichtLogistik LED Support GmbH).
