Vari-Lite’s VLHive 151 Digital FX light fixture has won in this year’s Best of Show Awards at ISE within the AVTechnology category. This follows previous awards for the groundbreaking fixture, including the Plasa Show Award for Innovation.
“The response to the VLHive from customers and industry experts alike has been tremendous,” said Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite Marketing and Product Management Leader at Signify. “We’re honoured to see the energetic response to the fixture and humbled to be included as Best of Show among the other deserving winners at the show.”
The VLHive 151 is a true evolution in entertainment lighting, a next-generation luminaire with advanced digital animation effects never before possible with an entertainment lighting fixture. Designed and built in Vari-Lite’s Dallas, TX, USA headquarters, the VLHive includes a digital light engine, with 45,000 lumens of output and pixel-level control.
