For the first, time Steinigke Showtechnic will be represented at the leading tradeshow and conference for live production and live design professionals. Inner Circle Distribution, Steinigke’s exclusive distributor in the USA, presents the latest company products the at the LDI in Las Vegas. 

At the Inner Circle Distribution booth (nr. 1856), the focus will be on COB technology. Steinigke Showtechnic, as well as its American partner, view this as the future of LEDs.

Craig Singer, president of Inner Circle Distribution (ICD), says: “These products have really changed the LED lighting game. COB is going to transform how LEDs are used, how they develop, and ultimately how they are perceived by the industry.”

Important tradeshow in the USA

With more than 300 exhibiting companies and over 8000 visitors from 72 countries, LDI is one of the most important exhibitions in the industry. LDI celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and takes place from October, 19th to October, 21st 2012 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.

COB spots can also produce a smaller beam angle now. Instead of the quite wide output a much more focused spot can be emitted – thanks to Fresnel lenses in black ans silver. ML-56 and Par-56 devices can already be equipped with fresnel lenses, they are available. Those for the ML-30 will arrive soon.

New lenses for our Slim Line Spots. Our popular SLS-12 and SLS-5 (versions with quadcolor LEDs) can reduce their beam angle from 40° to 25°. The narrow spots are already available.

You don’t need DMX to control a KLS an four additional spots – you only need a DMX line…

A DMX line, a spot with 3 DMX channels and the Eurolite FP-1 foot pedal, to be more precise. Sound strange, but it is not at all. A maximum of four spot have to be connected to the DMX out of the KLS and then lopped through (it works with KLS- 200, 401, 801, 1001). Everything is controlled with the foot pedal in a kind of Master/Slave mode.

Necessary requirement, the spot’s 3 channel DMX mode needs the following starting addresses:

Synchronic to panel 1 of the respective KLS: starting address 4
Synchronic to panel 2 of the respective KLS: starting address 7
Synchronic to panel 3 of the respective KLS: starting address 10
Synchronic to panel 4 of the respective KLS: starting address 13

Functionality of the foot switch remains unchanged: blackout, freeze, sound control, auto program.

Here are some of our spots which can be connected:
EUROLITE ACS Bars RGB,
EUROLITE PAR-64 RGB 24x5W,
EUROLITE PAR-64 RGB 36x1W Short sil
EUROLITE ML-56 TCL 18x3W
EUROLITE PAR-64 TCL 18x3W

To those who cannot call a KLS their own we recommend to take a look at our 8 KLS Kombo Packs. With the Kombo Pack 7 we also offer an alternative without DMX.
