CINEMECCANICA and XPAND have formed an alliance to offer a highly evolved line of laser projectors and laser light engine modules to the global cinema and special events industries. At CinemaCon 2015 the companies will debut LUX, an aftermarket 6P laser light engine, compatible with Series 2 cinema DLP projectors. 6P laser light sources deliver significant advantages over traditional xenon lamps, the most noteworthy of which are an improved service model, a 30 percent increase in brightness, a lifetime of 30,000 hours (rather than 500) and a gain in energy efficiency of more than 50 percent.
