Remember that “project” Robert Juliat showed off at LDI in a back room under special invite?  Looks like the “project” has been turned into a final product and is getting ready to ship! Here is more from the Press Release:

The Aledin™ is the first product of its type to achieve significant output AND superlative framing and projection ability from an extremely low-powered LED light source.

Aledin Features:

• Very low power consumption (85W) for dramatic energy conservation
• Up to 30 units can be powered from one domestic power outlet
• Extra long LED life for reduced maintenance
• Low heat output preserves colour media
• Enables use of metal, glass or plastic gobo materials
• Built-in framing shutters (up to eight) with locking system
• Available in 3500°K and 5800ºK colour temperatures
• Colour temperature remains constant during dimming
• Built-in electronic flicker-free dimmable PSU with direct DMX input (No external dimmer required)
• Reduced HVAC demand
• Environmentally sensitive – No UV or IR Emissions

Based around Robert Juliat’s 600SX Series profile, the Aledin benefits from the famed double condenser optical system and retains all the features of a standard Robert Juliat profile. Aledin’s low power consumption is of value where power availability is limited, whilst the choice of colour temperatures make it equally at home in a theatre or opera house lighting rig, whether tungsten or discharge.  Aledin™ is also perfect for environments such as historic theatres or museums, since there are no UV or IR emissions to damage sensitive fabrics or exhibits.

The Aledin™ LED Profile Spotlight is available in three zoom ranges and can also be purchased as a retrofit kit for Robert Juliat 600 Series Tungsten, the 400 Series Quincy and the Figaro luminaires. Orders for Aledin are now being accepted for delivery in Summer 2010.
