SUMOLIGHT unveils SUMOLASER at Cine Gear 2022
Jun 6, 2022
SUMOLIGHT, makers of SUMOSPACE+, SUMOSKY and new SUMOMAX introduce an entirely new concept in professional lighting—SUMOLASER.
Based on a new class of laser emitters, SUMOLASER is a daylight point-source of unparalleled luminance that can put a precision beam of light on a stage or project miles into the sky. At just 10.8 lbs/4.9kg this new powerhouse rivals the output of traditional 18kW HMI daylight sources weighing more than ten times as much.
As with all SUMOLIGHT fixtures, SUMOLASER is fully modular, with individual units in a convenient hexagonal from factor. While each fixture may be controlled individually via DMX or local touchscreen, they can also be built into custom combination patterns. The unique SUMOSNAP™ one-click quick-release connecting system effectively allows multiple fixtures to safely and easily combine into powerful arrays. It provides a secure screw-free interface to truss systems, standard junior pins and other grip hardware.
Each SUMOLASER includes a 7-engine laser module producing 3-degree beam angles which unite to form a tight beam homogenized beam. As more units are added with SUMOSNAP adapters, the beam width increases but the angle remains the same – allowing greater output and a fuller, fatter pencil beam.
With a 6000°K colour temperature, this one-of-a-kind source draws just 175W of power. What’s more SUMOLASER outputs 150,000 lux / 45,700 footcandles measured at 328-ft/100m. Amazingly compact, the laser module is 8.03×7.65×7.56″ / 204x194x192mm (HxWxL), and the Yoke-Mount and Control Box, spigot, 7-engine module together measure 18.9×11.42×12.6″ (HxWxL) / 480x290x320mm. The front face of the module is 7.65″/194mm.
SUMOLASER is IP65 rated for maximum safety compliancy regardless of conditions so it is safe for indoor or outdoor use.
