PRG Europe to Sell Entertainment Technology Bak Pak
The new groundbreaking Bak Pak IGBT dimming module is the perfect complementary device for conventional fixtures that require more advanced control. The Bak Pak is an individual dimmer that mounts wherever a need exists for a ‘single’ dimmer, thus eliminating the need for additional rack space. Entertainment Technology introduced the Bak Pak at LDI 2003.
The Bak Pak dimmer is a powerful, silent, compact, affordable, IGBT DMX controlled lightweight dimmer that lives righter where its needed. Complex technology - simple solutions. The module, available in 750-Watt, 1200-watt or 2400-watt versions, operates using standard USITT DMX512 protocol. It is also completely functional using on board control options for applications where DMX power is not available.
Simon Roose, European sales manager comments: we are delighted to add Bak Pak to our product range, and it fits neatly with our range of good quality professional equipment for professional users. It truly is a unique product and I can see so many applications.”
The Bak Pak is a "no-brainer" solution and can be used for theatres, schools and colleges, museums, galleries, cruise ships and other spaces where the lighting needs will change frequently. It provides designers the flexibility to move their fixtures frequently.
"The Bak Pak is like the Post-It Note for the lighting industry," comments Entertainment Technology product manger Heinz Roy. "There are so many uses for it, you can stick it anywhere. Can you imagine an office without Post-It Notes? It will be the same way with the Bak Pak. Once lighting designers begin to discover its many uses, they'll wonder how they ever did their jobs without it."
The Bak Pak weighs less than 1kg and mounts directly to existing lights, structures or simply on the wall. No special brackets or construction is required. Because the units are lightweight and compact in size, they fit virtually anywhere. And the IPS ‘focus’ button on each dimmer saves set-up time and labour.
The Bak Pak utilizes Entertainment Technology's patented IGBT dimming technology, which provides significant performance enhancements over conventional dimming equipment. The dimmers are completely solid state, which enables them to operate silently. And since IGBT technology does not use filters or chokes, the Bak Pak is more efficient, with less wasted energy and heat than conventional dimmers. Every Bak Pak dimmer has an on-board, intelligent processor which adjusts and maintains proper voltage and current. The microprocessor automatically suppresses surges, protects against dead shorts and extends lamp life.
And now you can win your own Bak Pak. PRG Europe will be giving away a unit at Plasa 2004. All you have to do is visit the PRG Europe stand - J52, next to the Central Meeting Area and leave your business card. The winner will be announced on the last day of the show, Wednesday 15th September at 4pm.
