A ring of light
LEDs run around the equator, where two mirrored domes meet.
A mirrored light sphere for your stage.
One ring of light, repeated into depth, moving to your music.
What is HELIO?
Reflections give it depth
The ring repeats inside the shell, so one line of light reads as many.
Colour that moves
Hold one calm colour for a room, or let it run for a crowd.
Who is it for?
Three kinds of work, one sphere.
Festivals and clubs
A stage centrepiece that moves to the music.
- Sound to light by its own microphone, in ten music scenes
- Art-Net, E1.31 and DDP from your lighting desk
- 100 to 200 cm hung over the stage or the floor
Light festivals and museums
A light sculpture visitors walk up to.
- Silent by itself; scenes and playlists run all evening
- One piece on a stand or a plinth, or a trail of spheres
- Footage, dimensions and prices for your proposal
Rental and production
A centrepiece for your stock, run from your desk.
- One USB-C PD supply per sphere, 45 W or more
- A yoke with an M10 thread for light stands you own
- Buy it once: 30, 50 and 70 cm are in batch 1
Does it follow the music?
Yes. By its own microphone, or from your desk.
- By itself
- A built-in microphone listens to the room, and ten music scenes move with what it hears.
- From the lighting desk
- Art-Net, E1.31 and DDP input from Resolume, Madrix and xLights.
- From show control
- OSC from TouchDesigner and TouchOSC, MIDI desks, and xLights show playback.
- From a phone
- The HELIO app over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with 34 factory scenes and playlists.
The network protocols are being qualified on HELIO hardware; tell us your setup and we confirm it for your show. The HELIO app is in testing for iOS and Android.
Where does it go on site?
Three places from our 3D festival.
Over the stage
A 200 cm sphere above the DJ, the lasers taking its colours.
In the chill area
A 150 cm sphere to sit around, slow and warm.
Along the path
100 cm spheres hung through the trees, lighting the way in.
Walk through the festival in 3DThe simulator runs in the browser. The pictures are visual concepts: AI renderings of its scenes, with photos of the real sphere as their model.
Can it stand on its own?
Yes, on a light stand you already own.
A half-circle metal yoke holds the sphere at its flange and screws onto any light stand with an M10 thread, such as the Gravity LS 431 B.
Ask for the stand option in your enquiry.
