Recently we have seen City Theatrical Beam Benders all over New York City. This simple lighting accessory serves several important lighting purposes, and designers always seem to be coming up with new ways to use them. Read about some of the ways we have seen them used recently, including Thom Weaver's lighting of Play Dead, and how and why we developed this unique product.

Our new PDS-375 TRX power/data supply for Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting fixtures will be shipping in early January. This six output power/data supply has all the same innovative features as the larger PDS-750 TRX, but is able to operate without a fan, making it suitable for quiet installations like TV and film studios.
