5. Features
The KNV from GLP is a powerful strobe/color effect lighting fixture. It is available in
modular Cube and Arc variants that can be interlocked and combined to form lines
and curves, giving enormous creative possibilities.
The fixture combines powerful white light output from a 5x5 matrix of 30-watt cool
white LEDs with bright color output from a color wash panel that uses 400 high-quality
RGB LEDs in circles around the white LEDs. Total luminous flux can exceed 50 000
lumens per module.
The LED array can be pixel-mapped through any standard controller. White and color
output can be controlled separately or combined for stunning strobe, continuous
output and wash effects. Using the powerful internal multilayer FX engine, complex
dynamic effects can be created quickly with no need for a separate pixel-mapping
media server.
The KNV can be used indoors in permanent and temporary installations. Its rugged
construction and IP54 rating mean that it can also be used outdoors in temporary
installations if precautions are taken to prevent immersion in water and damage from
direct sunlight. It can be placed upright on a level surface or suspended from a
suitable structure as described in the product’s Quick Start and Installation Manual.
Four mounting points with M3 threaded holes are provided on the front of KNV fixtures
for mounting optical accessories from GLP.
Power and data can be daisy-chained and products can be interlocked for ease of
installation.
The KNV is not suitable for household use, for use in any location where unattended
children have access to it, or for use in permanent outdoor installations.
White LEDs
The KNV features a 5x5 matrix of cool white LEDs that produce powerful white light at
5000 K. The white LEDs can be controlled together or individually depending on the
DMX control mode selected.
The white LEDs offer shutter and dimming effects including a powerful strobe, flashing
at up to 16.67 Hz, or operate continuously to give high-output wash effects with a 120°
beam angle.
You can also select from a wide range of pre-programmed dynamic FX patterns to run
on the white LEDs.
Color LEDs
The KNV’s 400 RGB LEDs are arranged into circles of 16 LEDs that surround each white
LED. The RGB LEDs can be controlled together or individually depending on the DMX
control mode selected.
You can run a wide range of color effects (including strobe effects and dynamic FX
patterns) on the RGB LEDs, or you can operate them continuously using RGB color
mixing to provide a color wash with a 120° beam angle.
You can also use the RGB LEDs to add blue or red to the powerful white LEDs and
adjust their color temperature.
