The JDC2 IP has never been short on impact. GLP's V2 firmware unlocks the rest of it, from a deeper DigiFX engine to canvas mapping and FVP video slicing.

At Outside Lands’ 2026 SOMA stage this summer, lighting and video shared more than a color palette. A two-way control system let the lighting programmer control color and intensity across the video panels, while the video programmer could send content back to drive those same attributes across the lighting rig. With production design by Studio RRD and lighting and video supplied by 4Wall, the setup gave both operators more ways to shape the look and keep it moving throughout

One family, every base covered. We break down the Elation REBEL Profile, Dartz, Line, and Wash and why this toolkit belongs on your next fixture demo list.

See how the Master FX ATLAS delivers massive cryo-style effects without CO₂, with fast resets, consistent output, and flexible touring and install options.

The MR16 birdie has been hiding in footlight shells, set pieces, and prop carts for decades, and the industry has been waiting on an LED replacement that actually earns the spot. GLP thinks they have it with the X5 Dot Wash. Full color mixing, strobe, zoom, and an IP65 rating in a body exactly the same size as the birdie it replaces.

We review the Volux Lighting PHYTON, a 600W IP66 hybrid profile with 32,000 lumens, a 1.9° beam, framing shutters, CMY color mixing and CRMX.

GLP names a new marketing director, Volux launches the CueWash 300B, Claypaky fixtures hit Eurovision 2026, 4Wall Entertainment announces a new European HQ, and a closer look at the Master FX Mystic 2 hazer.

Festival changeovers move fast, and the gap between your previs file and the real rig is where mistakes happen. We take a hands-on look at 4Wall's PreVis & Chill trailer from Bonnaroo 2026 and how it helps programmers, designers, and operators close that gap before showtime.

We are in Las Vegas, and the Jonas Brothers are settled in at Dolby Live inside Park MGM for a four-night run. The Jo Bros have become a staple of Las Vegas, and this show was designed by Silent House. Running the rig night to night is lighting director and programmer Jonathan D. Martin who took some time between shows to walk us through the programming, the workflow, and what touring a production like this actually looks like.

Meet the German Light Products TWYN, a dual-face moving head that combines two very familiar GLP worlds into one compact fixture.

When German Light Products launched the Impression X5, they did something the rest of the industry wasn't quite ready for: they bet the whole platform on lime. Explore the GLP Impression X5 family and the RGBL color engine that helped redefine LED lighting. From iQ.Gamut color science to the X5 Wash, Bars, IP fixtures, and Dot Wash, we break down how GLP’s lime-based approach changed modern stage lighting.

Plenty of hazers can fill a room. Far fewer are designed for what happens after the first show, when the night-after-night, tour-after-tour reality of professional production sets in. We've spent a lot of time with the Master FX Mystic 2, and across hands-on demos, side-by-side fluid tests, and road tests with the crews who use it daily, the same theme keeps surfacing: the machine just works.

This year's design for the L.A.B. Stage at Breakaway Festival put two Volux Lighting fixtures in the workhorse role: The Volux Lighting Phantom and Volux Lighting Phyton. Combining their versatile effects package and IP rated durability is delivering massive punch at the immersive deep house stage on this years circuit, provided by Premier Entertainment Group.

Inside CineVita’s 360° spiegeltent, Michael Berger and Eric Baum bring concert-scale lighting energy to Teen Beat Live: 80s Movie Mixtape.

Programming one Coachella set is a year of work compressed into an hour at FOH. Make it two of them, on the same Friday, and it is now a totally different kind of challenge. That was the job in front of Courtny Seipel at Coachella 2026, where she ran lighting for Australian electronic producer Ninajirachi on the Sonora stage and Gordo on the Yuma stage across both weekends. Two artists, two genres, two completely different rigs, and the mental flip between them on a tight clo

German Light Products built its reputation on quality of light. The Impression X5 family has been the gold standard across touring, broadcast, and theatre for years now, and the iQ.Gamut color engine that powers it is one of the most powerful on the market. But flagship fixtures come with flagship price tags, and not every show, rental inventory, or rig position can justify an all-X5 package. Enter the Wild family. GLP's newer line asks a different question: what if we took t
