The Extra-Wide Flood Lens acts as a wash or fill light with a soft edge, while still maintaining an intense centre beam. The lens provides a circular beamspread up to 60 degrees, and is ideal when illuminating an area or surface from a restricted, short-throw distance. For theatrical use, the Extra-Wide Flood Lens allows the PAR to be used as a fill light or set mount to illuminate low-ceilinged areas from tight hanging positions, or as a wash light
Consisting of a slim 44mm x 300mm x 300mm square panel, the LEDION produces a diverse range of colours and shades from its LED light source. Due to the all day/all night operation of most modern bars and restaurants, LEDION light panels are inherently suited to this demanding environment, being virtually maintenance-free and having LEDs expected to exceed 50,000 hours of operation. The LEDION can either be used as a stand-alone colour changer or in multiples. AVR has designed a standard 4x4 frame system for multi-unit applications, with bespoke frames an option for special projects. The units can be floor, wall or ceiling-mounted.

p-wave is the innovative decorative version of the award-winning new wave truss series. While the same patented construction techniques are used, it is made entirely from Plexiglas. A prototype version of p-wave, the Plexiglas variant of new wave, was shown at LDI 2002 and generated a huge amount of interest. This prompted the Total Structures team to undertake further development. A unisex, non-rotating, fork end connector and the webs are machined from solid rod and flat sheet respectively using CNC machinery. Both sets of components are bonded to the tubular chords using high strength two part adhesive. p-wave really comes into its own when lit. The edges of the plexi capture the light and the truss positively glows with the colour it is bathed in.

The Motovator can be set-up and used anywhere, but particularly suited to projects where motion needs to be tightly integrated with show lighting and effects using standard lighting consoles and moving light programming techniques. This system allows motion to be designed and edited in the same way (and by the same personnel) as lighting cues. Motovator motion control systems for Traveler and Austrian curtains, roll drops and stage turntables are available for inclusion in custom designed applications, or as complete packaged solutions.
