At Entedi, everything we do is personal. The service. The support. The brands we stand behind.
That’s why we love PLASA Focus Leeds. It’s smaller, more connected, and built for real conversations with the people who use our kit every day.
And if you’ve ever spent time on our stand, you’ll know even our fixtures have personalities of their own. The show‑offs... The workhorses... The quiet geniuses... The ones that steal the room without even trying...
Whether you missed us at the show or just want another look at the fixtures that brought our stand to life, check out the full round-up below 👇
First up on the stand, Claypaky came in swinging with some serious long‑throw power. Launched at LDI, the newest members of the Arolla Aqua Long-Throw family made their UK Debut.
Arolla Aqua M‑LT 31,000 lumens, a 550W calibrated white LED engine, and a 3.5°–53.5° zoom. The M‑LT doesn’t just show up — it takes over.
Arolla Aqua S‑LT
21,000 lumens from its 350W cold‑white engine, only 25.9 kg, and a 3.8°–47.2° zoom. Smaller frame, serious bite.
Arolla Aqua HP
66,000 lumens driven by a 1400W white LED engine and a 3.5°–55° zoom. The Arolla Aqua HP is the family’s high‑performance sibling that's sharper, brighter, and built for serious long‑throw impact.
A lighting icon refreshed for 2026! Everything people loved about the original is still there: the punchy beam, the speed, the compact footprint. But now it’s sharper, brighter, and far more capable.
Drake even gives it a nod on his new album ICEMAN. That’s a level of recognition you don’t see every day.
And if you need even more proof the legend is alive and well, 286 Ultimo Sharpys lit up Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour." Check out the photos 👇

Once the beams were flying, it was time to talk atmosphere and Hazebase brought a solid haze trio to our stand!
The Fab Smooth, even haze in 5 seconds; always the first one ready.
The Baser
From fine haze to a fog‑like blast, it’s the versatile all‑rounder. And with its tour‑ready flightcase, it’s built for the road and ready for whatever is thrown at it.
The Cube
The hide‑me‑anywhere option. Compressor‑free, compact, and low‑power. Perfect for installs, small spaces, and those moments where you want atmosphere without the footprint.
Atmosphere sorted, it was time to talk trussing and HOF’s MLT Three pre‑rig truss stepped up beautifully. Quick to prep, smooth to roll in, and rock‑solid every single time. Some would say it’s fit for royalty, and they’d be right. The Royal Opera House already has it in their rig.
HOF also brought the NEW TrussTilt, a robust and precise tilting device designed for the safe connection of HOFKON trusses with professional AV equipment. Check out Edwin’s demo to see it in action.
And while the truss was rolling, the power conversation was buzzing. Instagrid continues to set the standard for portable power with the Instagrid ONE and Instagrid LINK, and at PLASA you could hear that in every conversation.
People already know it, trust it, and rely on it.
The clean output, clever engineering, and dependable performance have made Instagrid a firm favourite across events, touring, and installation work.
Of course, no stand is complete without a bit of low‑fog magic, and that’s where JEM stepped in. JEM Glaciator Dynamic is the smooth‑talker of the haze world
Calm, classy, and quietly making everyone look better without ever shouting for attention.
It creates dense, billowy low‑fog with:
❌ NO ICE ❌ NO CO2 ❌ NO DRAMA Plus it's near‑silent operation, compact design and universal power supply means its ready for any venue, anywhere.
Just plug in, set the stage, and let it steal the moment.
Fog on point, the next wave came from Martin.
The NEW MAC One Beam packs an intense 7‑million‑candela punch into a sub‑5 kg frame built for rapid, high‑impact deployment. With fast CMY colour mixing and its signature 3D backlight effect, it adds it adds mesmerising depth and layered visuals to any show.
ELP Manet 8F
An 8‑inch Fresnel with proper vintage soul. Smooth, velvety fade‑outs, no bright spots, and a rock‑solid CRI of 98 across the entire zoom range.
Trusted across film, TV, and broadcast and now, trusted by us.
Nanlux has officially joined the Entedi portfolio. Their fixtures have been shaping the look of high‑end productions worldwide, and now they’re here to enhance what our customers can do on set, on stage, and everywhere in between.
Meet the New Powerhouses
EVOKE 150C
Punches way above its weight with an 8‑colour engine that delivers rich, accurate output whether you’re lighting a close‑up, a product shot, or a moody studio setup. It’s the fixture that proves “compact” doesn’t mean “compromise”.
EVOKE 600C
The Evoke 600C has serious firepower, driven by the same 8‑colour engine but on a much bigger scale. Massive output, stunning colour rendition, and the flexibility to handle anything from drama sets to commercial shoots.
A full-show cast in a single body: PAR, blinder, narrow beam, eye‑candy. Omniray really does it all! IP65‑rated with dual engines - 440W RGBWLA at 90° for the big looks and 40W RGBW at 3.8° for the tight hits.
A 95 CRI LED engine, 16‑bit control and a 12.5 kHz refresh rate keep it smooth, bold and camera‑ready.
Add decorative covers and beam shapers and it switches character in a heartbeat! And it's currently IN STOCK!
Power it up, take command, and let the 2nd Gen AHD Motor Controller run the rig with quiet confidence.
10-pin cable remote connector with a built-in safety circuit
REVERSE button to move all active hoists in the opposite direction
Rear safe link connector to use with SAFE BOX
Fully compatible with Gen-1 systems
24-channel wireless built-in
Lighting dimmers and power distros rounded out their showcase.
Then it was time to say Hola 👋 to Triton Blue.
One of our newest partners, who brought a fresh burst of IP65‑rated fixtures.

And finally, tucked into the tech-savvy corner of our booth, VP brought their range of lighting control and system‑integration brains. Their line‑up included: CueCore3 - The clever controller that quietly runs the whole show, managing playback, scheduling, triggering, timecode, architectural control and system logic, all without needing a computer once it’s programmed.
KioscTouch2 - The wall‑mount touch screen that makes system control feel personal. Clean, responsive and fully customisable, it lets you build the exact interface you want. Your buttons, your colours, your workflow, your way.
NEW NetPanel - a beautifully intuitive way to operate CueCore3‑based systems or third‑party platforms. Netpanel gives you a clean, wall‑mounted interface for triggering cues, selecting looks, adjusting levels and navigating system functions.
Available in three versions: B4, the 4‑button panel; E1, the rotary‑encoder panel; and F2, the 2‑fader panel. Slick, simple control, with none of the hassle.
