kazimier Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 hi I am new to this forum and wanted to ask your advice as to what this light may be called? I have recently returned from a trip to poland where these lights were used to great effect in a lot of bars and small venues. From what I could gather, they run on a track, with small very precise focusable beams as well as having shutters for shaping the beam. They are not very bright but have given me some ideas for an upcoming show.Has anyone come across these lights before and know of a suitable supplier in the E.U?Many thanks for your time. http://thekazimier.co.uk/images/light.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 You may be lucky, but I suspect not.This is a predominantly theatre based forum, and those look decidedly commercial install, so not likely to find an easy ID... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Those are 'track-mounted' luminaires, primarily used in shop-front and similar commercial installations as the track makes it easy to re-position them when they change the shop window display. You'll need to look in the architectural lighting sector, although unfortunately I don't know of any extensive online resources you could try.

csg Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Whilst not the same unit, Altman do make 100w track monting profile fixtures - Fisher productions in London have them in their hire stockwhilst the units would be different, they do the same job. In a production situation, the look of the unit should not matter, unless you are using them as practicals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokm Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have recently returned from a trip to poland where these lights were used to great effect in a lot of bars and small venues.Erm, a picture of the actual affect would be more useful rather than just the fixture to be honest! Do you have one? With that we could direct you to a fixture that would produce a similar/same effect.. T Edit/Addition: Just re-read the OP's post.. were they creating some sort of effect? Or are you just trying to source some small, track-mountable, profile fixtures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think you will find the same solutions on Zumtobel's web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Or Erco. But I don't think they have exactly that fixture. Can you not get up to the fixture and find a manufacturers badge? Unusually for tracklights it looks like those have shutters. Interesting idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazimier Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks for all the replies - its good to have some form of name for this light fixture to look up. Sadly I did not take a picture of the effect the light made - but as you could imagine it casts a very localised shape (fairly low level light) - in this instance they were used to light up square photos in a bar and the beam was perfectly shaped to fit neatly around the photo, the room had about 20 or so of these lights all over the ceiling and created a fantastic visual effect. It is exactly the shutters that really interest me and its compact shape. I have emailed the venue for advice on manufacturer - so hopefully that might get me somewhere.

smalljoshua Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Do you need the lights to be on a track? If not can you not just use a standard profile, such as an ETC Source 4? Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieR Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Selecon Aureol Beamshaper may be a suitable equivalent for what you are looking for. These are an architectural fitting and will mount in track. They use a 50w MR16 as the lightsource. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazimier Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 for those of you interested I managed to get in touch with the original venue and found out the supplier: The name of company is Lightart, they are from Szczecin ,Poland. http://www.lightart.pl/ and the number to speak to somebody in English: +48 785 120 520 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
