Hire GLP JDC1 for Your Next Production
Why the versatile strobe-blinder hybrid has become a production essential
When GLP introduced the JDC1, it quickly became clear that this wasn't just another strobe. The combination of high-output flash capability with 1320 RGB LEDs creates a fixture that serves multiple functions without compromise. Here's why lighting designers keep specifying it, and why hiring from CEG is the smart choice.
The Multi-Function Advantage
Traditional production lighting requires separate fixtures for strobing, blinding, and colour washing. The JDC1 combines all three into a single unit. This consolidation has practical benefits beyond simplicity - fewer fixtures mean less rigging time, reduced truck space, and lower overall hire costs. When budget and logistics matter, the JDC1's versatility delivers tangible savings.
1320 Pixels of Creative Potential
The RGB LED surround isn't just for adding colour to the strobe - it's a pixel mapping canvas in its own right. With 1320 individually addressable pixels, the JDC1 supports sophisticated visual effects that would require dedicated pixel fixtures on other rigs. Chase patterns, colour gradients, animated effects - all available from this single fixture.
For productions incorporating media servers or pixel mapping software, the JDC1 integrates smoothly. The high pixel density creates detailed, impressive effects that look as good close up as they do from a distance.
Comparing the JDC1 to Alternatives
If you're specifying strobe fixtures, you'll find various options on the market. The JDC1 distinguishes itself through its hybrid approach. Conventional strobes offer flash capability but nothing more. LED panels provide colour but lack the dramatic impact of a true strobe. The JDC1 combines both functionalities without compromising either.
At £105 per day, the JDC1 represents excellent value when you consider it's replacing multiple single-function fixtures. The cost comparison becomes even more favourable when you factor in the rigging time and truck space savings.
Real-World Applications
We've supplied JDC1s for a wide range of productions - arena tours, television programmes, corporate launches, club installations. The common theme is designers who need flexible, high-impact fixtures that can adapt to different moments within a show. The JDC1 delivers subtle colour washes during intimate segments and explosive strobe effects during climactic moments, all from the same fixture position.
The CEG Difference

We understand these units and can advise on configuration, pixel mapping setup, and integration with other GLP fixtures. Whether you're building a complete package or adding JDC1s to an existing rig, we'll help you achieve the results you're looking for.
