Integrated Systems Europe 2026, held in Barcelona, marked another highly successful edition for GLP, consolidating the strong trajectory the company has maintained in recent years.
With a consistently busy stand, an international professional audience and a very positive reception to its latest innovations, the show once again confirmed GLP’s solid position within the professional lighting market.
The visitor profile was broad, ranging from mid-sized companies to major international players. While Europe remained the primary market focus, the event reflected an increasingly global outlook. Notably, visitor quality was exceptionally high, with many professionals coming to the stand with clearly defined projects and active investment plans.
ISE 2026 was a strong show for us. The quality of discussions, the level of interest in our new products and the positive response demonstrate that our products and innovations are aligned with market needs, said Udo Künzler, Managing Director of GLP.
TWYN takes centre stage: two creative worlds in one system
The undisputed highlight of the stand was the GLP TWYN. The new fixture combines the creative strengths of the successful JDC Burst 1 and Creos platforms, allowing designers to merge both worlds into a single system while elegantly expanding existing JDC Burst 1 and/or Creos setups. The response was emphatic: visitors and users alike considered it one of the standout launches of the show.
GLP TWYN integrates wash and strobe in an innovative dual-sided moving head, opening up new creative possibilities. Inspired by Creos and JDC Burst 1, it delivers powerful wash effects, intense strobes and maximum design flexibility, while maintaining high output, fast setup and strong operational efficiency.
X5 Dot, WildWash 12 and Nexus address current market needs
The new impression X5 Dot Wash also attracted notable attention, particularly among theatre and West End professionals. Demand remains strong for high-quality scenic lighting with precise control and authentic theatrical characteristics, and the X5 Dot demonstrates significant potential in this area.

The impression X5 Dot Wash is an ultra-compact mini wash in an MR16 form factor, equipped with a 40 W RGBL LED from the X5 Series. It delivers excellent light quality, high colour rendering and precise colour control. With IP65 protection, manual zoom from 16° to 68° and flexible installation options, it integrates discreetly even in confined spaces, making it an ideal solution for theatre, television and demanding installations.
The WildWash 12 reinforced the success of the Wild Series, introduced with the WildBar 16. The range stands out for its attractive price-performance ratio, fast return on investment and consistent build and optical quality.
The GLP WildWash 12 is a compact, high-performance LED wash featuring 12 × 40 W RGBL LEDs and a motorised zoom from 3.5° to 54°, capable of producing everything from tight beams to smooth, even washes. With iQ.Gamut colour calibration derived from the X5 Series, fast movement, flexible mounting and iQ.Mesh integration, it provides a versatile and efficient solution for clubs, touring, festivals and installations.
The Nexus series from GLP also generated strong interest, with numerous units sold directly from the stand. Its uplight capability and the flexibility to use individual fixtures as wallwashers make it attractive across multiple applications.
Nexus fixtures are wireless, IP65-rated and equipped with powerful batteries providing up to 24 hours of runtime. Fast USB-C charging minimises downtime and ensures maximum flexibility for live events, television productions and installations.
impression FR2 Wash makes its world debut
The new impression FR2 also generated significant anticipation, with its first prototypes arriving shortly before the show. This compact LED wash, weighing approximately five kilograms, combines a powerful RGBL engine with an additional FX layer, a single micro-Fresnel lens and exceptionally fast movement. With iQ.Gamut colour calibration, low weight and high efficiency, the FR2 Wash offers extensive creative potential alongside economical operation, supported by a price point designed to enable an attractive investment and rapid return.
GLP hospitality area: a meeting point for the industry
GLP’s stand, divided into two areas — product presentation and a spacious hospitality zone — remained active throughout the show. A long bar and generous lounge and meeting spaces provided the ideal environment for conversations, exchange and networking, all within the open and welcoming atmosphere characteristic of the brand. Many visitors used the stand not only to explore products, but also as a central meeting point for the industry.
A standout element was the iconic MAD MAXX Fat Beam in its distinctive custom finish, which became one of the most photographed fixtures at the event.
Looking ahead
With strong visitor engagement, excellent feedback on new products and intensive discussions with customers and partners, GLP considers this edition its most successful participation at ISE to date. The positive momentum confirms the company’s strategic direction, and GLP will of course return to ISE next year.
