Italian lighting company SGM has announced the latest addition to their Palco line of LED fixtures. Adding to the already impressive Palco 5, which has an impressive array of 3 & 4.5 watt LEDs, is the Palco 5 Full Color LED:

Discovering new colour frontiers
Palco 5 Full Color, with lines and dimensions identical to the other models in the Palco range, is the sector’s latest technical evolution: a extraordinarily powerful fixture that can be used anywhere and is able to create washes and scenarios with an effectiveness and quality of illumination never seen before.

The latest evolution in LED
Palco 5 Full Color uses REBEL LED, a light source with a new concept and a maximum performance of 80 Lumens.
The Palco 5 has been designed in order to host 105 LED in a matrix of 35 lenses, each with a power of 9 Watts, enabling to obtain a total brightness of 5,500 lumens.
Plus, based on the application of REBEL LED, the fixture uses a brand-new colour mixing system, which enables to mix the red, blue and green Rebel LED with a single lens, thus occupying a minimum space.
Perfect light diffusion is ensured by a choice of three new different lenses that can be fitted: narrow, medium and wide.

New operating and mechanical performance
The result is a colorchanger able to generate much more powerful light beams, with exceptionally even colour on the illuminated surfaces and eliminating any coloured shadow defects. Perfect colour uniformity is also guaranteed even when viewing the fixture’s LED matrix directly from the front.
Palco 5 Full Color exceeds the already remarkable standards of the other units in the Palco fixture range, enabling to illuminate and colour increasingly large and far-off areas clearly.
The upgrade of the functions has gone hand and hand with mechanical progress: starting from the direct experience gained with the other fixtures in the range, SGM has made Palco 5 Full Color even more resistant to bad weather, thus greatly increasing the unit’s application possibilities.

Rosco is debuting 3 new colors to their line of Off-Broadway and Supersaturated lines of paint:

The most interesting of the new colors is Paynes Grey; a basic tool for any experienced scenics. Brilliant Red and Imperial Green round out the palette with vibrant color.

Osram has announced the immediate availability of the latest in its popular Dot-It consumer task series: Backstage Blue!
