Event service provider Schattenklang GmbH relies on Futurelight

Sven Battner, Managing Director of Schattenklang GmbH, uses since five years the moving-heads of the Futurelight brand and describes these as reliable and powerful. “By 64 devices only two repairs within an application of five years, this speaks for robustness of the systems,” said Battmer.

 Perfect light- and picture production

The equipment at the company Schattenklang GmbH comprises more than 100 moving-heads from Futurelight. In addition to DMH-150 and DMH-160 also include PLB-280 and various devices of the EYE series for a durable equipment. The company uses the LED-powered moving heads among other things for concerts and gala events, where perfect production of light are used to create expressive images. Positive technically feedbacks signals that the moving heads of the light producer do not have hide behind the global players.

High quality service

With up to 200 events a year, Schattenklang GmbH has to focus on quality. Not only for the object but also for the service. Battner will also continue the focus on Futurelight in the future: “A few devices had some minor flaws. These were repaired immediatly or replaced quickly. The service for the systems is fast and reliable.”

Projection artist

With the DMH-200, Futurelight presents a powerful moving head with wide zoom

A moving head with a powerful LED, first class equipment and wide zoom: Futurelight presents this with its new DMH-200, which shows off its strengths especially when it comes to projections. The beam angle can be widened from 7.5° to 40°. Whether on a rock stage or in a theater, this spot feels comfortable on many terrains.

Futurelight DMH-200

The new moving head of the long-established company offers particularly sharp projections, even on short distances. The projections are very bright and – if needed – also really big. Narrow beams on a show stage or wide projections in a theater – the Futurelight DMH-200 masters these tasks brilliantly; not only due to the zoom, but also thanks to the motorized focus, its steplessly dimmable COB LED and the stepless frost filter.

The 200 W strong, white COB LED of the DMH-200 produces an enormous light output, so the spot is very assertive even on big stages. The color wheel offers 8 dichroitic colors. A rotating 3-facet prism and two gobo wheels provide for variety; one is equipped with 7 rotating, indexable and quickly changeable gobos, the other one with 7 static gobos. Both gobo wheels can be used in combination.

With a little more than 20 kilograms, the DMH-200 is a lightweight among the spots in its brightness class. 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for the DMX signal as well as Powercon input and output are at your disposal.

The DMH-200 has been designed for mid-sized and big stages. It is perfectly suited for festivals and rock shows. Thanks to its unobtrusive, flicker free operation, the moving head can also be used in quiet surroundings like theaters and TV studios.

The quick-change artist among the moving heads

Eurolite presents matrix effect with zoom

Eurolite LED TMH-X25 Zoom

A real quick-change artist was presented by Eurolite at the Prolight+Sound 2017: The TMH-X25 Zoom unites moving head, matrix effect and beam spot in one device. This way, it offers absolute flexibility.

Endless possibilities

Viewed from the outside, the TMH-X25 looks like a matrix effect on the base of a moving head. 5 x 5 LEDs with RGBW color mixture are at the light designer’s disposal for creating colorful patterns, numbers, letters or animations. Each LED can be controlled individually. The device is controlled by DMX or Art-Net.

Powerful beam

On closer inspection, you detect the zoom, which changes the spot’s beam angle steplessly from 7.5° to 60°. This way, the moving head can also be used as a beam spot – the 25 LEDs with 12 W each are definitely strong enough to produce a powerful beam. Thanks to its Infinity function, the moving head can move endlessly in PAN or TILT direction.

Absolute flexibility

The impressive effect can be used for different purposes thanks to its versatile equipment: As matrix effect in a club, as beam effect on live stages or as background light in TV studios; the TMH-X25 always looks great. Its motorized zoom and the Infinity function make the spot absolutely flexible.

New technology, new face – Futurelight’s PHS 210 follows PHS-200

December 14th, 2010 Posted in FUTURELIGHT Tags: ,

It’s time for something new: Futurelight welcomes the PHS-200 successor, the PHS-210. In the past eight years it has been proven a thousand times: The PHS-200 is Futurelight’s reliable starter model – notably for light engineers with professional ambitions. The new PHS-210 will follow this tradition with an updated technology. It is available from now on.

An important renewal: the readjustment to a 16-bit resolution for pan and tilt movements. The mechanic dimmer forms another upgrade. The number of LED channels, however, has been kept at moderate dimensions. Eleven are only three DMX channels more than the predecessor offered. According to this approach, comfortable working with smaller-sized DMX controllers is still possible.

An enhanced running smoothness as well as quicker gobo and color changes can also be put on the list of positive modifications. The device’s design has been carefully adapted to that of its “big brother” PHS-280.

With the power of its 250-watt illuminant, the PHS-210 reaches a brightness level of 21,000 lux at a distance of 2.5 meters. A performance which is definitely able to take up the competitors’ pace. An optional upload box enables easy software updates via DMX link.

The PHS-210 has been developed for the use in discotheques and on small and middle-sized stages. According to that, the 56 programmed scenes surely don’t come amiss. Thanks to the spot’s low weight of less than 20 kilos it makes only modest demands of mechanics of respective event locations.
