With the event season on the horizon, the industry is busy reviewing inventory and identifying their key areas to invest ready for the busy year ahead. That makes now a better time than most to plan ahead and upgrade your lighting. With their vast choice of lighting solutions and continuous new innovations, we’ve picked 6 of our favourites that we think you need in 2024, based on innovation, practicality and potential rental ROI.
COLORado PXL Curve 12
This incredibly innovative fixture features 12 pixel-mappable RGBW 45W LEDs but its party trick is very unique and raises it above just an ordinary lighting bar; every LED source is motorised. That’s right, all 12 LED sources feature a 200° tilt and the fixtures are easily stacked edge-to-edge, meaning you can create a seamless shape-shifting spine of mesmerising lighting effects, comfortable in any professional stage setting.
Every cell features a 5.7 to 36.3° degree zoom range so you can add dancing effects to your production.
Individual control over each cell gives you pretty much limitless configuration for your shows and the fixture is IP65 rated so can be used indoor and out.
Why we love it:
- 12x motorised, zoomable, pixel-mappable RGBW LED sources for ultimate scalability
- 5.7 – 36.3 degree zoom rage on each cell for dancing effects
- IP65 rated for all-weather use

The seven 45W RGBW LEDs are surrounded by a stunning 12-Zone pixel-mappable RGB LED Ring, allowing for the fixture to create truly fascinating visual effects.

The E-2 FC boasts extraordinary lighting quality and CRI, near-silent operation, an integrated 25-50° zoom lens, an RGBAL LED engine and also features a one-touch auto focus button for seamless focussing without a board op. Its +/- green adjustment lets you finely dial in beautiful skin tones and the emulated redshift gives the fixture the traditional tungsten appearance that many theatres seek.
But what makes this fixture so good is its wide zoom range from such a compact fixture thanks to its integrated zoom lens, and its dedicated Focus Mode button. This lets you seamlessly focus without a board op, ideal for small theatre stages, schools and auditoriums.
