As the winter/spring exhibition season built up to its finale, GLP saved the best until last. Following the outstanding reception to its latest product portfolio at both LDI in Las Vegas and ISE in Barcelona, visitors to Prolight + Sound could expect not only to see all these in action, but a lot more besides at their booths.
This made it one of the most important expo presentations in GLP’s history.
The company expected the JDC2 IP hybrid strobe to be as well received in Frankfurt as it was at the international trade fairs, where it was undoubtedly one of the highlights in the lighting world. The new IP65 JDC2 IP was larger than its predecessor, significantly brighter and also offered a wealth of new features.

To underline the significance of this latest product launch, an interpretation of the world’s largest JDC2 IP was displayed above the GLP stand in Frankfurt – formed by 120 impression X5 Compact and a powerful “strobe line” of 40 JDC2 IP in the center. Also with an eye on the outdoor market, with its IP65 rating, was the impression X5 IP Maxx, a more powerful partner to the impression X5 Wash, making it suitable for projection requirements over greater distances.
Boasting an extensive effects package, the impression X5 IP Maxx emitted an extraordinary luminous flux of up to 24,000 lumens from 37 powerful 40W RGBL LEDs – with an expanded color space. Like all products of X5 Series, the X5 IP Maxx was equipped with the iQ.Gamut color algorithm, which delivered deeply saturated and accurate color nuances.
Turning to FUSION, the FUSION X-PAR 8Z and FUSION X-PAR 18Z completed the family of weatherproof LED PARs, with motorized zoom. The FUSION X-PAR 8Z (80W) was the most compact and lightest (4.5kg) representative in the series, suitable for a wide range of situations where space was limited. In contrast, the FUSION X-PAR 18Z had a 180W RGBL LED engine, for the highest power output, while the FUSION X-PAR 12Z outputted 120W. A new addition to the FUSION line was the FUSION Exo Hybrid 30.

Added to this, GLP also provided advanced sneak peeks of the impression S500 Profile HQ and impression S500 Profile HO, which went into production shortly, followed by the impression S500 Wash HQ later this year. Finally, the popular X4w atom also moved onto the X5 platform, and visitors were able to preview the X5 atom IP head and X5 atom IP PSU6.
