Holography, from the Greek words for “whole” and “writing/ drawing”, is the technique for creating three-dimensional images. Discovered accidentally by physicist Dennis Gabor in the 1940s, it was only when lasers developed in the 1960s that the first optical hologram was created. Using halogen-based photographic emulsions to record 3-D images on 2-D surfaces, in simple terms holograms split and stretch recorded light into 3-D shapes.
Event Projection are to be the first UK hire company to take on Coemar’s new LEDko P Profiles. The new profile fixtures from Coemar are set to revolutionise lighting and are a major leap in LED technology. They are based around the classic ETC Source Four profile. In addition to Coemar’s own 18-40° lens tube, the units will also accept all exciting ETC Source Four optics. Event Projection have also placed an order for Coemar’s fresnel lens tube which makes these fixtures even more flexible. The output of the Coemar units is quite amazing, comparable to a 575w Source Four yet only pulling 150w. As a company that revolves around cutting edge equipment, the units fit our spec for any new kit and the LEDko lights are nothing short of ground breaking. We expect to take delivery of the units in early October and looking forward to some quick and easy installs with out the usual requirement for heavy power and dimmer racks.
