Hire GLP impression X5 for Your Next Production
Why the X5 outperforms competing LED wash fixtures and how CEG makes hiring simple
When you're specifying LED wash fixtures for a production, the choices can seem overwhelming. The GLP impression X5 has quickly established itself as a go-to option for lighting designers who need reliable, high-output wash lighting. Here's why it deserves a place on your next rider, and why hiring from CEG makes the process straightforward.
How the X5 Compares to the Competition
The LED wash market is crowded, but the impression X5 distinguishes itself in several key areas. Compared to fixtures with similar LED counts, the X5's 40W engines deliver noticeably higher output. This means you'll often need fewer fixtures to achieve the same coverage, which translates to savings on hire costs, truck space, and rigging time.
The X5's colour mixing is particularly impressive. Where some competing fixtures struggle with pastel shades or exhibit visible colour separation at certain angles, the X5 maintains smooth, homogenised output throughout its zoom range. For productions where colour accuracy matters - corporate events, broadcast, or theatre - this consistency is invaluable.
Build Quality That Survives the Road
GLP's reputation for robust construction is well-earned. The impression X5 features a magnesium alloy housing that's both lightweight and incredibly durable. The fixture's weatherised design means it'll handle the rigours of festival season without complaint, whilst the refined internal components ensure reliable performance night after night.
Why Lighting Designers Choose the X5
We've seen the X5 specified across diverse productions - from arena tours to intimate theatre pieces. The common thread is its versatility. Designers appreciate having a fixture that works equally well as a front wash, side light, or effects element. The individual pixel control means a rig of X5s can create dynamic looks that would otherwise require additional fixtures.
