Martin VDO Atomic Dot, a versatile IP65 LED pixel

The Atomic Dot, available in cool white or warm white versions, each with dynamic Aura effects, is controlled like a video pixel by the P3 processor, as are all the luminaires in the Martin VDO family. We met with Yohan Ory, lighting application engineer at Algam Entreprises, for a guided tour of this little unit.

Robe Forte, the LED rival of BMFL

Following up on their Esprite – and packing into it all the same technology – Robe has launched Forte, a more powerful spot/profile with an interchangeable 1,000 W white LED source that rivals the BMFL.

Robert Juliat Arthur Followspot. The Spot of Kings

The brilliant spotlight manufacturer Robert Juliat presents Arthur, an 800 watt LED followspot, which performs neck and neck with its 2500 W HMI-lamp counterpart, Aramis.

Together with the team from Freevox, we got one of these new beasts from Dallas, Texas, USA. Freed from its shipping carton, and with its 33 kg hauled up on the test bench with a single heave, the VL10 WashBeam comes across as neat as a glass of bourbon.

HK Audio Linear7, getting started
