UK - The RevEAL CW colour-mixing washlight, the first product from innovative new manufacturer Prism Projection and the award winner for Best Debuting Lighting Product at last year's LDI Show in Orlando, is now available in the UK - exclusively from White Light.

"The beam of the RevEAL was what first drew our eye to the fixture at LDI last year," comments White Light's managing director, Bryan Raven. "Eeven before further exploration revealed how much work the Prism team have done to overcome the proble
