Ayrton is delighted to announce that its ultra-compact Diablo LED profile fixture has been awarded the ESTA Members Choice Award 2020 in the Equipment Category at this year’s NAMM show in Anaheim, USA.

Diablo is the smallest, lightest, brightest and most efficient profile fixture in its category, weighing just over 20kg, with a record output of 19,000 lumens from its 300W source. Versatile and feature-rich, Diablo, like its sister fixtures, Levante™ wash light and Mistral™ spot, is available in two versions:

Diablo-S is specially designed for stage applications and utilises a monochromatic LED light source that can generate an ultra-high output and metallic white light calibrated at 6500K.

Diablo-TC is geared for applications requiring perfect colour rendition, and uses a monochromatic LED source with a native CRI greater than 90, high TM30 readings and a 5700K colour temperature.

The Award was collected by Brad Nelms, Western Regional Sales Manager for ACT Lighting, Inc., Ayrton’s exclusive distributor for North America, who said: “As a distributor, you can’t ask for anything more than the opportunity to represent great products.  Ayrton’s fixture portfolio really hits the mark in all categories.  The Diablo, in particular, has been a huge hit in the US market and continues to reach new customers who see its value.  Congratulations to the whole Ayrton team, and thank you for being great at what you do.”

Jerad Garza, international sales for Ayrton, commented “For Diablo to win the Members Choice Award is the icing on the cake. Diablo has been an instant hit since the moment it was released because it is such a powerful tool in such a small package. This fixture from the beginning has been revelled in as a new standard for a vast range of applications.  But to have that confidence endorsed by the knowledgeable members of ESTA is extremely gratifying. Thank you to ACT Lighting for representing us in the US, and to all our amazing Partners world-wide.”
