Prism Projection Introduces Next Generation RevEAL Studio Fresnel at LDI 2011

Prism Projection, Inc. will be offering attendees at LDI 2011 - October 28-30, Orlando, Florida, Booth #1519 - a head-to-head comparison of the popular RevEAL Profile luminaire with an ETC Source Four 750W ellipsoidal.

"Many lighting designers consider the 750W Source Four as a benchmark when comparing lights," notes Garrett Young, president and founder of Prism Projection, Inc. "During the show, we will give attendees the opportunity to see the Source Four alongside our RevEAL Profile, which we consider to be the future of framing profile spotlights. It has the output of traditional sources at a fraction of the power consumption, while still providing designers with beam-shaping shutters and edge-to-edge crisp projections, coupled with high color rendering and excellent output."

The company says the RevEAL Profile is a true high-CRI, LED profile spot with an output of 16,000 lumens, a variable correlated color temperature range of 2,800-6,500K, an adjustable focus from hard to a very soft edge, changeable lenses for beam angles from 14-70 degrees, and a flat field. It also has four shutters on a tri-plane; accepts M-size gobos; uses DMX, Art-Net, or local control; and features a universal power input of 90-260V AC.

Debuting at LDI this year is Prism's new Studio Fresnel 3. With an output of 7,600 lumens and a color rendering index of > 92, the company says it offers the ability to get clean cuts with standard barndoors and a wider range of beam angle adjustment -- from a very narrow 8 degrees to an extra-wide 70 degrees. The SF3 uses a manual zoom focus mechanism to smoothly and easily go from spot to flood. "We've been able to reduce the source size to enable the SF3 to work with the barndoor as well as allow for the tighter spot without any loss in output from the previous two models," adds Young. Both the SF1 and SF2 will still be available in the Prism RevEAL line.

The SF3 reacts to the cuts and shaping of barndoors the same as a conventional Fresnel fixture and is the same form factor as a traditional 8" Fresnel. With a total power draw of 250W the SF3 is brighter than a 1kW Fresnel with a tungsten source, the company says.

"We wanted to give lighting designers the ability to use our products in a similar manner that they are used to working," says Young. "With the design of the SF3, we built on the accomplishments of the previous Studio Fresnel models and added in the ability to work seamlessly with a standard barndoor in shaping the beam. We were also able to engineer a tighter spot focus going from the previous narrow spot of 20 degrees now down to an 8-degree spot."
