German lighting company SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER has announced a daylight point-source designed for film and broadcast applications, live events and architecture.
SUMOLASER is based on a new class of laser emitters, which can place the perfect ray of light or project miles on a stage in the sky. Weighing in at just 10.8 pounds / 4.9 kg, this new fixture is capable of producing an output that can compete with a traditional 18kW HMI daylight source weighing more than ten times. The laser module is 8.03 x 7.65 x 7.56 ″ / 204 x 194 x 192mm (HxWxL), and the Yoke-Mount and Control Box, spigot, 7-engine module together measure 18.9 x 11.42 x 12.6 ″ (H x L) / 480 x 290 x 320 mm. The front of the module is 7.65 ″ / 194mm.
Each SUMOLASER contains a 7-engine laser module that produces 3-degree beam angles that combine to form a tight beam homogeneous beam. If you combine multiple units, the width of the beam increases but the angle remains the same. This allows for greater output and a full, thicker pencil beam.
The SUMOLASER has a constant color temperature of 6000 ° K and it produces 175W of power. It can measure 150,000 lux / 45,700 ft candles at 328-ft / 100 m.
SUMOLASER is a completely modular, distinctive unit that comes in convenient hexagonal form factor. Each fixture can be individually controlled via DMX or local touchscreen and they can also be created with custom combination patterns. The SUMOSNAP one-click quick-release connection allows multiple fixtures to be securely and easily combined to create larger, more powerful arrays. The fixture also uses a secure screw-free interface so you can mount ii on truss systems, standard junior pins and other grip hardware.
SUMOLASER IP65 is rated regardless of the conditions for security compliance so it is safe to use indoors or outdoors.
There is currently no information about pricing or availability. SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER will debut at CineGear 2022 next week.
