W-DMX Adds Core Lighting UK As OEM Partner

15 February 2010 14.49 BST

Wireless Solution Sweden AB has announced Core Lighting of the UK as the latest OEM partner to build W-DMX into its products. The technology will be installed directly at their London facility.

Core has developed a range of rugged battery-powered LED lighting products for the temporary events market, both for indoor and outdoor use. With the addition of W-DMX, these compact, battery-driven fixtures are completely cable free, yet offer the brightness and all of the colour choices that designers have come to expect. Plus, the absence of cable these days is quite welcome in ‘green’ installations.

W-DMX comes in the Point20 and Point30 indoor/outdoor units and the Point30 IP65 outdoor unit. Key features include 2,500 lumens with attractive full white; red, green,  blue and white LEDs for colour depth and efficiency; 20-24h battery life exceeding 12h for most applications; W-DMX control with upgradeable master/slave; upgradeable WiFi remote controlled operation; and minimal maintenance with no fan and built-in self-test. The units are aesthetically pleasing with a stainless finish for indoor applications and rugged design for outdoor, both designed for repeated rental.

Core fixtures have been used successfully at various large-scale events — both indoor and outdoor — including Glastonbury. One of the more innovative uses is during the Cancer Research UK’s Shine Event, a 41km walk for charity through Manchester city centre and parks at night. Rather than light 41km of trees along the pathway, Core Point30 IP65 outdoor units will be moved in blocks from sections where walkers have passed, to upcoming segments, resulting in a fraction of the number of units required.

“We are extremely pleased with this partnership,” said Phil Ion, president of Core Lighting, “Wireless Solution is the leading manufacturer of wireless DMX tools and the products are widely used in Europe and the USA. We consider ourselves as manufacturers of high quality products and we received nothing but positive comments from our clients on our decision to go with W-DMX.”

“This is a particularly interesting partnership,” added Lotta Schiefer, EMEA sales manager for Wireless Solution, “With a bright, colour-changing, battery-powered fixture with W-DMX, the possibilities get quite fun. These products are rock-solid, with a rotatable head and gorgeous colours. Plus, you know you’re getting the most reliable, interference free signal available.”

W-DMX by Wireless Solution Sweden AB has become the world standard for wireless DMX, winning awards on both sides of the Atlantic. W-DMX “outshone the rest” in an independent test (Lighting & Sound International). Specified with perfect results in high-profile lighting projects everywhere, W-DMX has been used for lighting the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) Headquarters in Kuwait; Andrea Bocelli live at the Colosseum; Times Square in New York City; the Nobel Prize Banquet; the Berlin Wall 20-year Anniversary; and many more.
