In 1981 the Founder of Videssence developed the first fluorescent lights for the TV studio. He reasoned that the advancement in camera technology coupled with the high color rendering properties (CRI) of the new compact fluorescent lamps and the proliferation of electronic ballasts, made fluorescent lighting for broadcasting a very viable alternative to high wattage, heat producing incandescent and halogen. Later, Videssence premiered to accolades around the world, and won awards at NAB in 1989 for their new fluorescent studio fixtures. For the next 10 years more fixtures, accessories for control and electronic dimming capabilities were designed. Although we have been copied by many companies all over the world, Videssence set the standard.
In 2000, under the new ownership, Videssence had an engineering facelift. Fixtures were re-designed for maximum performance and new innovative products were introduced. The new Videssence raised the bar on performance standards. By utilizing new reflector designs and material with 95% reflectance, the competition was again left to follow.
Videssence broke from the “studio style fixtures only” mold in 2000 and introduced fixtures for Video Conferencing and Distance Learning in architectural spaces. The recessed ceiling line of “Soft” fixtures provided much needed lighting solutions for these spaces. Additional introductions of small light weight fixtures for transportable kits, as well as the worlds only, patented, adjustable beam fluorescent Power Key Series are truly innovations in the industry.
Continually pushing the design envelope for over 25 years and always incorporating ever improving, lamp, ballast, dimming and control technology has yielded innovative lighting fixtures that create unparalleled broadcast images. Even today, with the onset of HDTV, fluorescent lighting provides the perfect solution as the world realizes that everything looks better in “high definition” except the wrinkles on the face of your “talent.” Our fixtures provide maximum performance with a strong, smooth wash of even lighting by utilizing the advanced technology of compact fluorescent lamps combined with highly engineered, precisely formed reflectors of the highest quality aluminum available. These key design elements ensure that our lighting fixtures provide: high level artistic performance; superior CRI levels for excellent color rendering; long lamp life; minimal energy consumption to power lighting; and lower heat levels resulting in improved talent comfort and reduced demand on AC systems. With the largest offering of fluorescent studio fixtures in the world, numerous models are available for all lighting design needs from Key, Fill, and Back Lighting to beautiful, evenly lit Chromakey areas.
