LIGHTHOUSE EXHIBITS AT TWO MAJOR EUROPEAN TRADE SHOWS

Hong Kong – 7 September 2007 – This September, industry leading LED screen manufacturer Lighthouse Technologies will once again be showing its world-class products at IBC in Amsterdam and, for the first time, at London’s PLASA Show, including two new products: the R10i/o-II 10mm LED screen and the LIP-XGA image processor.

IBC is the venue for the first European showing of R10i/o-II, which can be seen on the Plazamedia on Stand 380 in the outside exhibit area. Aimed mainly at outdoor applications, R10i/o-II features improved weatherproofing, a discrete LED design and is easy to maintain in the field. It is the same physical size as the R16i/o-II screen, which provides the opportunity for increased creativity in mixing screen pixel pitches as well as quick rigging and cost effectiveness.

Inside, in Hall 11 Lighthouse Technologies on Stand 461, as well as the LIP-XGA (see separate release) R4, R6-III and R10 will be on show. The R4 4mm pixel pitch display is Lighthouse’s finest pixel pitch to date. Its ultra-high resolution addresses the continuing demand for high definition screens and it includes remote monitoring of LED failure, power failure and temperature. R4 adopts the fanless approach of the super-quiet R10 screen and this, along with its lightweight, makes it ideally suited to networked five-star boutique applications.

The benefits of this ultra-high resolution product have been recognized by Lighthouse’s R4 rental customer, Andrew Gumpter of New York-based AG Light & Sound, who has already used them to great effect at the recent Maxim Hot 100 celebration and at Lightfair International, both held in his home city. 

R6-III’s 6mm pixel pitch display incorporates Lighthouse’s proprietary Uniformity Control, developed to guarantee that the color balance of every pixel and the brightness of every LED lamp is identical, ensuring uniformity to an exceptional level. This allows R6-III to be employed extensively for indoor applications such as the highly competitive world of motor shows.

Meanwhile, the super-quiet R10 10mm pixel pitch screen, with its fanless design, keeps noise levels to an absolute minimum. This is beneficial for both rental and installed applications such as TV studio, corporate boardrooms, company lobbies and fashion retail shops.

All three of these products have the same physical dimensions, allowing them to be assembled together to form a screen of variable pixel pitch, which offers a vast amount of creative opportunities. The super-wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles provide excellent video images from all angles and the 2000 Nits of brightness are sufficient for semi-outdoor applications, such as behind shop windows or in sunlit atriums.

In London, Stand F85 will display R4, R6-III and the new LIP-XGA.  “We have been involved with PLASA for a number of years via our rental partner The Picture Works,” says managing director, Mark Chan. “But this year, with the increased interest from the concert touring, architectural and retail markets in our products we decided it was time for us to exhibit in our own right.
