“ProPlex provides a fully flexible and reliable solution for our growing networking requirements.” says Storm’s Rental Manager, James. “Since the return of live events in full this year. Shows are getting larger and thus requiring more complex solutions to deliver the show. Being able to roll a complete system in and out of a venue quickly is an important factor to being able to do this. This latest investment allows us to broaden our networking capabilities to stay at the forefront of technical systems.”

Storm’s Director, Dave adds, “The ProPlex software and devices continue to be intuitive and very easy to use. As well as being both powerful and reliable, which is exactly what we are looking for.

Having listened to the wishes of customers worldwide. Philips Entertainment Lighting has exceeded the output of the Philips Vari*Lite VL2500. Whilst also expanding the available package and its potential applications with the addition of a dedicated Profile fixture. Plus the added advantage of a beam-shaping system within the Wash fixture. At the same time, the compact form factor has been retained.

The Profile offers an updated, more saturated, but still familiar Philips Vari*Lite CMY colour mixing system with variable CTO colour correction, high-colour temperature (7200 K) output, a class-leading wide zoom range (7-48˚) and a flat and even field of light at any beam angle. And, of course, it delivers all the effects and features that users expect of the Philips Vari-Lite brand.

In designing the VL2600, Philips Entertainment Lighting has prioritized the twin goals of top-class performance and cost-effective ownership. By far the brightest in its class, the Vari*Lite VL2600 range is tough and reliable, compact and lightweight, easy to service and maintain thanks to its shared parts, and built to withstand the rigours of a touring environment. Making the VL2600 the most attractive new proposition for those in television, professional theatre, corporate events and concert touring applications.

Storm’s Rental Manager, James, adds “The VL2600 Profile is a brilliant new addition to our rental fleet of moving lights.
