PRG Showcases New Products at LDI2014Attendees at the LDI2014 show in Las Vegas, November 21 - 23, found a range of new lighting products from Production Resource Group, LLC (PRG) that were all developed to provide practical yet innovative solutions to the challenges of live event production. Attendees who visited the PRG booth over the LDI show experienced their "work smarter" solutions on offer. The PRG RH+A ReNEW LED Retrofit Assembly is an LED light engine designed to work with the Electronic Theatre Control (ETC) Source Four ellipsoidal's lens tubes and shutter assembly. By merely swapping out the tungsten light source of the Source Four the ReNEW user immediately cuts their energy and HVAC costs yet increase their output. The ReNEW produces over 8,200 lumens of output, making it an LED option that exceeds the output of the 575W Source Four ellipsoidal with clean even field of light. Taking under 60 seconds to change each unit out, it is also a time-efficient solution to changing out whole rigs to efficient LED. The ReNEW LED Retrofit Assembly is available in 3,000K tungsten and 5,700K daylight color temperatures. The company says the "ReNEW exemplifies smart innovation that acknowledges the need for effectively balancing time and money when upgrading technology." PRG's Bad Boy Followspot Controller accessory turns the output and features of the PRG Bad Boy Spot luminaire into a manually controllable followspot. The operator has control over the pan and tilt of the luminaire as well as local control over intensity, iris, zoom, and edge control. Of particular note by designers is that the lighting console controls all other internal functions of the luminaire like color or gobo. The console operator can also take over several of the functions assigned to the local followspot operator like intensity or zoom. A high-visibility LCD screen gives the followspot operator precise feedback on the levels for intensity, iris, zoom, and edge. There's also a dial that allows the operator a level control for the LCD screen to minimize light pollution in sensitive applications. The Bad Boy Followspot Controller has been used for many applications where an automated followspot brings more responsive and artistic control including fashion shows, television programs, and concert tours. The PRG Best Boy Wash luminaire makde its North American debut at LDI. This feature-rich wash light joins the award-winning Best Boy Spot and the Bad Boy Spot luminaires in PRG's automated light range. This dynamic new wash light features a 1,500W arc source that generates 60,000+ lumens of light output. With a beam size iris, that works hand-in-hand with the 6:1 zoom, the Best Boy Wash offers what the company says is unrivaled beam versatility in a single automated fixture and unlike other wash lights, the Best Boy Wash includes a fast and ultra-rich CMY color system and a rotating, indexable gobo wheel with four wash gobos to add effects to the user's wash beam. Optimized for television and film applications, there is a dedicated minus-green filter and a unique color temperature wheel that allows designers to vary color temperatures down to 3,200K and up to a very cool 8,000K. The color temperature wheel, paired with the minus-green filter on the fixed color wheel, is ideal for on-camera lighting. In addition to these products, PRG introduced the new PRG Used Equipment web site at LDI -- PRG ProShop. PRG ProShop enables users to more easily browse the available inventory of used equipment from PRG, to find what they are looking for, and make inquiries to the used equipment sales team. In addition, the company notes the site is built on a robust e-commerce engine that will allow PRG to continue to enhance the user experience over time. PRG ProShop was promoted at LDI and launched last week at the URL below.
