Lycian Stage Lighting Announces the ZOT LED Is Now in ProductionFollowing the introduction of the Lycian Stage Lighting ZOT LED finished product at USITT, an initial production run has commenced at the Sugar Loaf, New York factory. The ZOT LED, a prototype of which was shown at LDI has had numerous improvements following that showing. Upgrades include optical changes to yield an even smoother beam. Controls include a Lycian-manufactured, heavy-duty nichrome iris, and new mechanical fader. An internal, manual five color boomerang is included as well as gobo slot. The LED light source is a long life LED. Full specifications will be available on the website and by email. The ZOT LED photometrics slot it between the company's 575W and 700W discharge ZOT fixtures. The ZOT LED slogan is "So bright you won't believe it's LED." The ZOT LED joins the existing ZOT i series which consists of four traditionally lit followspots all built on the same platform allowing the ZOT LED to be manufactured with a great economy of scale. Said Steve Lerman, director of sales, "The ZOT is a great form factor coupled with a really efficient LED design. We've hit a home run. Lycian achieved the goal of designing and building a compact, bright, durable LED followspot that is far brighter than imported products, but with American made production. Thanks to the efficient production parameters of the ZOT Series, the ZOT LED is both a fine followspot and a price leader. We're proud to put the 'Made in USA' sticker on these followspots." The ZOT LED is the first of Lycian Stage Lighting's LEDs with plans for a more powerful unit to be brought to market next.
