A.C. Entertainment Technologies Ltd enjoyed a busy and successful PLASA Focus exhibition in Leeds, at which the company showcased several innovative new lighting solutions from the premium brands it distributes – including Jands, Chroma-Qâ„¢ and GLP.

A team of staff from AC-ET's specialist lighting, audio, rigging and video sales divisions were on hand to discuss the vast, multi-million pound stockholding of over 200 leading brands available from the company's High Wycombe and Leeds offices, and the super-fast round the clock service and support for which the company is renowned.

Jonathan Walters, Sales Director for A.C. North, comments "We had a really good show, with the new products on our stand attracting plenty of traffic and interest as it was the first UK appearance for many of them.”

The new Jands Vista v2 software - of which this was the UK launch - caused a stir, and is now shipping with all Vista consoles. It epitomises "power with simplicity" in the very latest generation of lighting control, and is available exclusively from AC-ET in the UK.

The v2 software launch follows three years of intense development and extensive use on major shows and events by beta-testers worldwide. As well as being factory-standard with all new Vista consoles, the version 2 software is available as a free upgrade to existing users.

Other popular new products on the action-packed AC-ET booth were the GLP Spot One LED moving light and the Chroma-Q Studio Force white LED / Color Force RGBA LED fixture ranges.

Previewed at the show were the new Chroma-Q Studio Forceâ„¢ V (Variable white 2,900°K – 6,000°K CCT) and Studio Force D (Daylight white 6,000°K CCT) LED fixtures, which feature an extreme output of 5,000 - 28,000 lumens across the range, and are specifically designed for TV, broadcast, fashion shows and other applications normally utilising bright daylight or tungsten fixtures.

As the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for German Lighting Products (GLP), AC-ET highlighted the recently launched GLP Impression Spot One - a high powered, fully featured, moving head Spot fixture, using a potent 400 Watt RGB LED chipset for the lightsource.

The AC-ET stand also featured a demonstration of the latest Green Hippo media server software and selected models from the hardware range, which is available exclusively from AC-ET in the UK and Ireland.
