LSC has been making dimmers for over 30 years and we are constantly updating our products to meet present demands and to take advantage of the latest in electronic components and systems. The Redback dimmer range was introduced in 2007 as a general dimmer range with great features and an attractive price.However, even though the new Redback Wall-Mount dimmer previewed at PLASA this year takes the Redback name and colour scheme, the Wall-mount version is a completely new dimmer. Redesigned from the ground up, the sight of a crisp colour touch screen gives the user the immediate notion that this is no ordinary dimmer. And that notion would be right. The new Redback Wall-Mount sports a number of new features in a dimmer in this price range including, optional relay channels, RDM, various output configurations, external wallplate control and a slim figure. The nature of power and dimming requirements in the modern venue has changed considerably over the last decade and now, more often than not, switching of direct power to control LED and intelligent lighting fixtures, as well as dimming of conventional lights is called for. The new Redback Wall-Mount dimmer caters for these situations by offering a true switched power control module option. For example a 24 channel Redback Wall-Mount unit can be supplied with 12 channels of dimming as well as 12 channels of power control in the same chassis. The power control modules can be switched using DMX512, fixed in a permanent state (off or on) or controlled via a number of other methods in the same fashion that the dimming channels can be controlled. The switched power module outputs provide direct power by utilising relays guaranteeing there is absolutely no electronics in the way to affect connected loads.Available in a variety of models the dimmers are slim-line wall mounted units permitting them to be located in areas where depth is a concern such as narrow cupboards or along walkways or catwalks. A number of different output socket combinations are available as well as the hardwired version. A unique patch version using GST18 connectors permits double output sockets as well as a hotpower connection providing unseen flexibility in such a system. Used in conjunction with the soon to be released Redback Patch system the combination is an answer to many a specifier's dream. The impressive feature list includes:
