The Field Template Rules! Stage Fixture Template reflects today's lighting manufacturers, including ETC, Altman, and Selecon, along with current generic moving-light fixtures. Hanging weight, cut color size, and beam spread information are listed adjacent to each symbol. The system is designed by LD Steven Shelley, author of A Practical Guide to Stage Lighting, and distributed by Fred Allen & Associates.
What's new is that the symbols are represented in 1/2", 1/4", and 3/8" scale, all in one template. These scales, along with 3/16", are printed on the top and bottom of the template, so scale rulers are a thing of the past. Prepunched to snap into a binder, it also acts as a divider.
Field Templates are plastic drafting templates that empower the lighting designer to draft light plots quicker, cleaner, and faster. Using the patented Pro•Grid system, the symbols are aligned on a grid that allows the designer to accurately pre-space instruments on a plot without using a scale rule. Field Templates also contain an expanded selection of lighting circuitry and accessory symbols along with reference information. These precise pieces of plastic are one potent parcel of practical tools.
Other new templates include the Field Template Lite Continental, which is designed for drafting overseas light plots. European symbols and their beam spread information are grouped by type and arranged on a metric scale. Scalloped edges are provided for drafting masking and curtains. Available in French in 1:25 scale. The Layout Field Template includes 1'6", 1'9", and 2'0" repeated spacing of the most popular instrumentation used in current light plots including enhanced and axial ellipsoidals, PAR-64s, and Source Four PARs. Currently available only in 1/2" scale. These three new templates join the other popular Field Templates — Stage Fixture, Striplight, Lite, and the ever popular Field Template Business Card.

Martin Architectural Cyclo Series
Martin Architectural introduces the Cyclo series, a range of tubular washlights featuring RGB color-mixing. It is a slim, surface-mounted fixture designed for use in cove lighting, light boxes, or behind semi-transparent materials. It comes in three varieties: Cyclo 02, 03, and 04. Cyclo 02 is a fluorescent color temperature changer that consists of two dimmable T5 tubes, a warm white at 2700K and a daylight white at 6000K. By adjusting the relative intensity levels of the two tubes, any color temperature between the two extremes can be generated. The Cyclo 03 and 04 offer full color-mixing using RGB technology to generate white light of any temperature as well as virtually all colors and shades. The Cyclo 04 features an additional white 4000K tube for extended color control. The units can be controlled from any DMX controller with the Martin 516 Converter.

io Lighting Plane Step Light
io Lighting has developed a series of architectural luminaires that use LEDs. Currently, there are two major product families, Plane and Tile. The Plane series includes a steplight configuration, where using a low power-consumption and long-life LED makes a lot of fiscal sense. It is available with a variety of different color combinations for edge glow and pathway lighting. The luminaires are designed for both exterior and interior applications and are UL-listed for wet and damp locations. In a dark environment, the distance the edge glow effect travels will vary based on color. Environmentally sealed, enclosed, and gasketed, the faceplate consists of a 5.9"-square corrosion-resistant zinc casting (stainless steel is optional) and a UV-stable, optically-clear, high-strength polycarbonate housing. LED luminaire modules contained within the housing are replaceable. A 120V, 277V, or 347V energy-saving current limiting Class 2 power supply (driver) is located within the junction box, and the power consumption is 11W.
