Robert Juliat at Prolight+Sound 2016, Frankfurt

Robert Juliat returns to Frankfurt in 2016, in a new location, where it will celebrate the show's re-imagined layout with its German distributor, Lightpower GmbH, in the Lightpower Village (Hall 3 Stand C44).

The award-winning DALIS LED cyclorama and wall wash light will be on show in all its multi-colored glory, and promises some exciting new developments this year, the company says.

Compact, lightweight, and easy to install with a quick-rig mounting system, Dalis' 8-color mixing LED system and 16-bit control result in an almost infinite range of repeatable color possibilities, the company says, including true tunable white from 6,500K to 2,200K. Its exclusive patented optical system composed of 48 micro optical asymmetric reflectors, ensures an even spread of light, smooth color transitions, and perfect dimming from 100% - 0%. Its massive output belies its small power consumption, while silent, fanless operation makes Dalis perfect for opera houses and television studios and any sound-sensitive applications. Each 1m Dalis batten has four separately controllable sections allowing precise control of linear sections and can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

This year's Prolight+Sound stand will demonstrate the Dalis effect in large format as 20 Dalis units are used in unison over a 8m x 7m cyclorama. New ideas will also be presented, rendering the Dalis family especially attractive to lighting designers of dance and ballet.

Robert Juliat's ZEP Family, the Zep 660 SX 300W LED profile and its Fresnel counterpart, Zep 360LF, will both be on show. The RJ Fresnel can be used as a direct replacement for traditional 1k or 2k Fresnel units but uses only 300w of long life LED power resulting in huge cost savings. Retaining all the key features of a traditional RJ fixture, the Zep family presents a genuine energy saving alternative to traditional fixtures, without the compromises, the company says.

Of course, no show would be complete without an appearance of Robert Juliat followspots, and this year Robert Juliat will present both the largest and the smallest of its range, as the 2500W HMI touring spot, Merlin, stands alongside the compact LED followspot, Roxie.

Merlin is a hot-restrike, flicker-free, 2.5k 6000k output beast with a built-in ballast that is powered from a just a single 16a connector. Designed for a tough life on the road, Merlin is built of aluminum and stainless steel for strength and anti-corrosion properties; its 4:1 optical range covers 3°-12° making it suitable for short and long throw applications. All RJ standard features are present, with the addition of separate horizontal and vertical shutters and advanced diagnostics which are accessible locally or remotely via RDM.

This compact marvel of efficient optics sports an Osram LED source with an output to rival a traditional 575W fixture. It is available in three color temperatures and offers beam shaping from 10.5° to 22.5°. Roxie is designed to be an energy-efficient solution for all those venues where running costs need to be significantly reduced.

"Prolight+Sound is the highlight of the tradeshow calendar in Europe," says Robert Juliat CEO, François Juliat. "It is the ideal opportunity to gather our distributor family together, reinforce strong partnerships, and meet international end-users and all our Robert Juliat customers face to face."
