Lighting Innovation at DHA
DHA Lighting has announced its appointment as the exclusive UK Distributor for the Lighting Innovation range of products. The appointment took place at this year’s PLASA Show, and begins with immediate effect.
This new deal will see DHA Lighting offering the entire Lighting Innovation range in the UK, with particular focus on the new Super Beam 1200 Beamlight which was launched at the PLASA Show. This is an updated version of the classic low-voltage ‘beamlight’ lantern which has found favour with lighting designers over the years, particularly DHA’s David Hersey who has featured beamlights in many of his classic designs. Beamlights give an intense, parallel-beam ‘shaft’ of light unobtainable with any other type of fixture. The Super Beam 1200 improves upon the traditional low-voltage units by using a Philips’ 80V 1200W lamp to give dramatically improved brightness - more than twice the output of previous 1000W 24V units.
The Super Beam can also be easily automated by installing it into one of Lighting Innovation’s Motor Yoke 2 DMX-controlled automated yokes. Configured in this way, the Super Beam offers remote control of pan, tilt, beam edge focus and, with a suitable scroller attached, colour.
The Super Beam in a Motor Yoke fills the gap left in the lighting designer’s toolkit when DHA’s Digital Beamlight was discontinued in 2001; pent-up demand for such a unit was proved by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, who ordered two motorised SuperBeams immediately following DHA’s appointment, and by the high level of interest the Super Beam has generated from other lighting designers.
“We are delighted to be able to bring Lighting Innovation range to the UK,” comments DHA Lighting’s managing director, Diane Grant. “DHA has enjoyed a long, close working relationship with Lighting Innovation’s Hermann Sorger, stretching back to the days when DHA supplied Pani products in the UK. We are happy that we can now renew that relationship through Hermann’s latest products, and look forward to introducing lighting designers to the fantastic Super Beam lantern and the lightweight, reliable Motor Yoke.”
