Meet The German Light Products TWYN

There are plenty of dual-purpose fixtures that are great when you point them into the lens but less convincing when you ask them to actually light things. Meet the German Light Products TWYN, a dual-face moving head that combines two very familiar GLP worlds into one compact fixture. On one side, you get a Creos-style RGBL wash engine. On the other, you get a JDC Burst 1-inspired hybrid wash and strobe face. And this thing is wicked fast.
The Creos Side: A Wash That Actually Washes
The wash side matches the pixel structure and segmentation of the Creos, so if you are already running Creos in your rig, the TWYN slots right in. Same color language, same mapping structure, same programming logic. This is a fixture that can actually wash a stage.
Nine 40W RGBL LEDs in a 3x3 array deliver up to 4,060 lumens through a zoom range of 4 to 53 degrees. The CRI sits above 85. These are the same RGBL LEDs found across GLP's X5 family, which means you get the full benefit of GLP's iQ.Gamut color science: calibrated white points, priority modes for output vs. color quality, virtual color wheel with 60+ LEE references, and the kind of saturated-to-pastel range that the lime LED engine is known for.
The JDC Side: The Familiar GLP Punch
Flip the fixture around and TWYN becomes a hybrid strobe system inspired by the JDC Burst 1.
The Strobe Element
36 high-intensity 17W white LEDs deliver up to 22,800 lumens of strobe output. That is a serious punch. The strobe line sits at the center of the face and produces a broad, even flash with real authority behind it.
The Wash Element
Surrounding the strobe line are 480 RGBW LEDs arranged in 24 segments, pushing more than 12,400 lumens of vivid color output. These segments give you dynamic color accents, wash capabilities, and the creative surface area that makes the JDC series so popular for eye candy and audience-facing effects.
Both systems carry built-in macros, so you are not stuck building everything from scratch. And because the pixel and segmentation structure matches the JDC Burst 1, the TWYN gives you consistent visual language and programming controls across the JDC Burst 1, JDC1, and JDC2. If you already know how to program a JDC, you already know how to program this side of the TWYN.
What Sets The German Light Products TWYN Apart
Infinite Pan and Infinite Tilt
Both axes rotate continuously with 16-bit resolution. And from what GLP is positioning here, speed is part of the personality. This thing is meant to move. The TWYN moves fast, and the continuous rotation opens up kinetic possibilities that a standard moving head simply cannot deliver.
IP65 Rated
Rain, dust, dirt, haze fluid, confetti. The TWYN is sealed against all of it. It operates in ambient temperatures from -10 to 45 degrees Celsius, which means outdoor festival stages, arena roofs, and exposed truss positions are all fair game. No domes. No covers. No stress.
Compact Form Factor
At just 16 kg (35 lbs) and a minimum center distance of 335 mm (13 inches), the TWYN is built to cluster. You can pack these tight on a truss and the visual density you get from a row of them is going to be significant. Each unit ships with GLP's DRX Dual Sleeve, and you can fit six fixtures in a standard case. That is a logistics win for any touring crew counting truck space.
From Us
GLP's market-leading light quality and color science in this versatile dual-face fixture make it stand out against competing products that may only be strong enough for eye candy effects. The combination of a genuine Creos-quality wash and a JDC Burst 1-class strobe in a compact, IP65, continuously rotating package is something we have not seen done at this high level before.
The TWYN is a new fixture, just rolling out with the first units now shipping. If you want to see it in action, catch demos at trade shows and GLP events. For full specs, head over to GLP's product page or reach out to German Light Products for availability.
