Provalo !! I’m Italian

“Provalo!! I’m Italian” will be the catch phrase at LDI, as LDR and Strong Entertainment Lighting share the excitement of introducing a new range of Italian theatrical fixtures, developed for North American designers. This new line includes both profile and pebble convex spotlights that are popular in Europe but until now American designers had little opportunity to work with such tools, say LDR.

Unlike an ellipsoidal, the profile is designed around a spherical reflector and double condenser lens system – similar to a movie projector. It provides a wonderfully flat field and projects exceptionally clear gobo patterns. The pebble convex spot provides a crisper field than the Fresnel that is so popular in the USA. Again, ‘PC’s’ are widely used throughout Europe, yet almost unknown in North America. The LDR design adds the intriguing ability to change lenses from PC to Fresnel and back again.

“Once they try it, we are sure they’ll be back for more,” says Jack Gallagher, theatrical lighting product manager at Strong.

Proud of his company’s stylish Italian design, LDR’s Fabiano Besio comments: "With the reception we've already received with the winning Canto followspot line, we know that the introduction of a theatrical line will fill the need.”

Strong and LDR will feature the new product line in booth #1708. Try a few bread sticks as well. They’re Italian too.
