Philips Selecon and Lancelyn Present LED Discussion Seminars this September

	Philips Selecon has a comprehensive range of LED luminaires including the PLCyc1 and PLCyc2, the PLfresnel1 and the PLprofile4. All of these will be available for demo during the UK seminars.

LED lighting manufacturer Philips Selecon is teaming up with Oxford and Wirral -based Selecon dealer Lancelyn Theatre Supplies to present a series of Q&A sessions focusing on LED technology at their facility in the UK.

Running with the tagline "Learn Educate Discover (LED)" the September 19 events ask, "What are the pros and cons of LED and can you use LED alongside tungsten?"

"Philips Selecon is collaborating with long-time partner Lancelyn to deliver number of seminars aimed at lighting designers, dealers, and industry professionals who would like to better understand the benefits and applications of these advanced LED technologies," explains Philips Entertainment's key account manager Amber Tomlin, who will be helping deliver the seminars.

Philips Selecon already offers a comprehensive range of LED luminaires including the PLCyc1 and PLCyc2, the PLfresnel1, and the PLprofile4. All of these will be available for demo during the seminars.

The PLCyc2 features twin single source 120W RGBW LED engines and the PLCyc1 features a single source 120W RGBW LED engine. Both deliver smooth consistent color mixing and blending capability of saturated and pastel colors. The PLCyc1 and the PLCyc2 enable stunning cyc and wash lighting effects on cycloramas up to 5m and 10m high respectively.

The company says theatre lighting designers who wish to avoid the issues of burned out color and reduced output on saturated colors, appreciate the properly shaped asymmetrical reflector that allows the PLCyc1 and PLCyc2 to deliver consistent light distribution without the need for performance compromising vertical or horizontal spreader lenses. All PLCyc luminaires support wireless DMX512 control, available via either Wireless Solutions, LumenRadio, or City Theatrical formats and each optional wireless receiver also has a DMX512 out-port to control adjacent luminaires.

The most recent addition to the PL range is the PLprofile4 LED luminaire, which combines the same LED source technology as the rest of the PL range, with precision optical design to present a full feature profile spotlight. Four 120W high-power, RGBW LED engines deliver bright color options while Selecon optics offer exact beam control and pattern projection.

Reg Berry from Lancelyn comments: "Over last few years LED technology has advanced at an amazing pace getting brighter and brighter every year, and we are continually being asked by our customers, venue users, and venue owners what are the pro and cons of using LED stage lanterns and what is required to incorporate LED into an existing system. We are therefore extremely pleased Philips Selecon is able to work with us on these workshops and explain some of the thinking behind the Selecon range of LED luminaires. We hope this will be a unique opportunity for our customers the get hands on with the latest Philips Selecon LED lanterns and gain a better understanding of what LED can do for them and their venues."

The Q&A sessions are scheduled for Thursday, September 19. Each will last one hour, with starts times of 2:30pm, 4:30pm, and 6:30pm at Lancelyn Theatre Supplies, Electric Avenue, Ferry Hinksey Road, Oxford, OX2 0BY. To book a place email sara@lancelyn.co.uk.
