Impression X5 Fixtures – Designer Stage Lighting- GLP

The impression X5 series from GLP has set new standards in the lighting industry. Now, GLP expands the series with the weatherproof counterpart to the impression X5 Wash: the new impression X5 IP. This IP65-certified LED wash light impresses with exceptional light output and outstanding color mixing, loved by designers worldwide for the X5 Wash.

The impression X5 IP features powerful 19 x 40-watt RGBL LEDs, delivering up to 11,400 lumens of light output. The GLP iQ.Gamut color algorithm ensures precise color mixing without brightness loss, natural skin tones, and flexible color temperatures ranging from 2,500K to 10,000K. With a CRI of up to 86.7 and a TLCI of 88.5, it meets the highest standards of color rendering.

The optical system includes a motorized 17:1 zoom, ranging from a tight 3.6° beam to a wide 63° wash. In addition to homogeneous illumination, the X5 IP offers pixel mapping capabilities and dynamic effects, enabling creative lighting designs.

Thanks to its IP65 certification, the impression X5 IP is ideal for outdoor events, festivals, and tours. Its sealed housing also protects against dust, dirt, moisture, and pyro or confetti particles in indoor settings, ensuring versatile use with minimal maintenance requirements.

With a lightweight and compact design, the fixture weighs less than 21 kilograms, making installation quick and easy. Multiple control options, including DMX, RDM, ArtNet, sACN, and Lumenradio CRMX, along with NFC and iQ.Mesh integration, enable seamless configuration. Despite its high performance, the device is energy-efficient, with a power consumption of just 700 watts at 230 volts.

With the impression X5 IP, GLP brings the innovation, durability, and creative freedom of the X5 Wash to outdoor environments.
