It’s been a while since I reviewed something that wasn’t LED-based, particularly a wash light. However, it’s still hard to beat those short-arc HID lamps for optical efficiency, particularly when using a zoom optical system. This month, we are looking at the GLP Highlander Wash, a new product from the well-respected German manufacturer, which takes us a little way back to our roots.
The mid-range wash market is completely dominated by LED-based units, but the GLP Highlander Wash is at the top-end of that scale and has a full-field, soft-edged framing system. It’s primarily the optical needs of the framing, in my opinion, which drives the use of an HID lamp in this product. How does it perform and how does it compare with its LED-based competitors? As ever, I’ll do my best to measure and report what I can to help you make your own mind up.
