Robert Juliat’s new 420W LED-source Lexie followspot (1176) received its official launch at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) in Barcelona, Spain.
RJ reported a great response from visitors: “The feedback was that Lexie’s robust construction and compact size makes it easy to handle and operate, as well as to transport,” said Séverine Zucchiatti, RJ’s communications manager. “Plus, despite its compact size, Lexie has a surprisingly powerful output delivering approximately 15,000 lumens with a crisp 6500K cool white source, and an optical range, both of which make it a versatile LED solution for all small- to medium-size venues.”
“It really is a plug-and-play fixture which makes it very easy to use, and has easy and smooth dimming and iris control, factors which also makes it very attractive solution for universities and schools,” Zucchiatti continued.
RJ’s Tristan followspot was also back at ISE, this time with new enhanced functionality and accessories. Highlights include its motorised iris, designed to allow users to create precise iris presets, either locally or remotely from the console; a new remote display, which provides real-time iris and dimming values, duplicates the main screen and is easily visible to the followspot operator during use; and new options to connect remote controllers – rotary or fader – from multiple top, side or rear positions.
Tristan has a 825W cool white LED source, and RJ said it is a great solution for all mid-range applications – in front-of-house, truss and backlight positions.
When it comes to LED profile and Fresnel solutions, RJ showed the Bizet range. Bizet 370LF Fresnel demonstrated its output – equivalent to a 2K tungsten fixture – and, in an RJ first, the incorporation of a motorised focus control. Bizet Fresnel features a 500W tunable white LED source which is used at full power whatever the colour temperature chosen.
The Bizet 670SX profile spot, an LED white profile spot, was also on show, presented as an LED alternative to the RJ 700 2kW Series. Designed for front-of-house applications, Bizet is available in tunable white (500W) or fixed cool white (600W) and has a CRI of 96-98 and a TM30 Rf of 94-96, designed to deliver high-quality whites and precision lighting. All RJ 600 Series and 700 Series optics are fully compatible with Bizet lamp houses, making Bizet an option for transitioning existing tungsten rigs to LED.
Visitors could also learn more about the Sully 4C profile spot (650SX 4C) and Sully 4C Fresnel (315LF). Sully 4C features the integrated RJ Color, RJ’s software platform. Sully 4C profile also has a quick-change LED module, designed to provide an economical method of retrofitting tungsten 600SX Series fixtures with an LED source.
