We’ve just added a LeMaitre Radiance Hazer to our Grand Rapids rental stock!

This unit is fantastic! Blows the Neutron away! So much so that LeMaitre recently discontinued the Neutron.

The Radiance is about the size of a small fogger; it even looks like one. DMX on board, along with a DMX out.

Using either DMX or the remote, which has a 25′ whip and can be extended with standard 5-pin DMX cable, you can adjust fan speed, haze intensity, and haze output interval.

The yoke is very heavy duty and locks into 4 different positions allowing you to adjust the tilt of the machine without having to come up with a shim.

Give us a call for pricing and availability — 616-451-9245.

Bargains still available:

• Antari Vivid Fogger – 2 available – $59.95 each
• Neutron XS Hazer – 1 available – $500 – includes manual remote, road case, 2 Pint bottle Neutron Haze fluid

We’re starting to gather miscallaneous items for a bargain bin in the Grand Rapids office. And by miscellaneous, I mean bizarre and obscure odds and ends! (If you’ve seen our warehouse, you know what I mean!)

Stay tuned!

There’s a new gobo manufacturer, and its name, oddly enough, is GoboMan.

Here’s a blurb from their press release:

Lighting industry veteran, Steve Hoffman, announced the creation of his new company, GoboMan, the first primarily online gobo lighting distributor. GoboMan is the joint effort of Steve and Rebel L. Hoffman, both of whom previously worked for GamProducts, Inc.

“GoboMan’s mission is simple. We wanted to make ordering gobos as painless and simple as possible. That along with great customer service and unbeatable prices, is our blueprint,” says Steve. “We felt that there was a need for an affordable and more accessible collection of gobos made up of the designs used in everyday theatrical lighting situations.”

In order to keep prices down, they will not offer a print catalog. They do, however, have a downloadable PDF catalog available.

Right now, they are only offering steel gobos, in size A or B.

Now with GoboMan added to our list of venders, John S. Hyatt & Assoc. distrubutes products from every major gobo manufacturer.

What’s new? Where should I start….

Corporate Acquisitions

Lex Products recently acquired Electrol Engineering. This will give Lex, already a leader in cable assemblies and distribution, world class dimming and control.

Genlyte acquires Strand! And for only 8.5 million in cash. What a bargain! It’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for both companies. If the name “Genlyte” isn’t familiar to you, they own quite a few lighting companies, including Entertainment Technology and Vari-Lite. Check out ET’s Marquee console and Bak-Pak! Fun stuff!

ETC acquired the North American distribution rights for the Pharos Architectural control system. It’s a great product line for architectural installations.
