LietoLight Fixture

Wenger first introduced the Lieto LED light fixture at LDI in 2018 where it won the Best Debuting Product in the Staging and Rigging category. Lieto is the first LED light fixture specifically designed for use in full-stage acoustical shells. Several features make the Lieto a game-changer in the industry:

  • Newly added asymmetrical beam distribution and below-fixture adjustability and aiming features. 
  • A three-axis beam positioning provides tool-free pan, tilt and rotation.
  • A 12,000-lumen output, creating bright light with fewer bulbs.
  • Quiet operation with no buzzing or detectable RFI (radio frequency interference) and no cooling fans.
  • Minimal heat output and no UV, which keeps performers comfortable on stage.
  • Multiple beam spread options (18o, 28 o, 36 o and 70 o) as well as three-color temperature options (2700k, 3000k, & 4000k). Both features are unique to this new light fixture.

Lieto is now available for order with Wenger’s Diva® and Maestro® full-stage acoustical shells.

Helios Hoist

J.R. Clancy’s Helios Hoist is focused on facilities needing a compact, economical solution. Helios’ safety features include slack line and load sensing, and the compact drum allows for hoist-mounting on a single beam. The innovative drum and brake design offer a compact solution where space is a premium. Helios’ access panel and operations lights provide the latest diagnostic capabilities with ease of use serviceability.

SceneControl® 12 motion control system

The SceneControl 12 motion control system is the latest addition to the SceneControl line. Its 12-inch touch screen feature, ergonomic design and portability allow operators to move around the stage and still view the equipment they’re moving overhead. SceneControl 12 can control up to 36 axes and includes a joystick for adjustable speed control.

SceneControl 12 is the latest model in the line. SceneControl 10, 12, 15, 24, and 24+ now come with enhanced features, including:

  • An Advanced Emergency Stop System
  • Load Sensing System
  • Management Capabilities
  • Multiple-User Logins

Diva® Full-Stage Acoustical Shell

Exceptional acoustics, beautiful aesthetics, and engineering expertise all combine to make Diva Acoustical Shells a centerpiece for any performing arts stage. Diva’s stunning acoustic capabilities create optimum on-stage sound and excellent sound projection to the audience.

StageTek® Staging  

The refined, smart design of StageTek makes this staging system lighter, stronger, easier to handle, and faster to set up than traditional staging. StageTek’s interchangeable components combined with a wide variety of sizes, shapes and surface options provide unlimited configuration possibilities for venues of all sizes.
