Visit Photon Beard at BVE 2010 to see out latest products and catch a bargin on the last few old ones.

We have some very special deals on our M200 Microbeam 200W Openface and A440 Minibeam 300W Fresnel. Both of these products are due to be replaced with newer verison, for the 300W this has already happened and the 200W is being worked on.

We only have a few of the current models left and once they are gone the offer is closed so be sure to pick up a bargain whilst you can. If you want to be sure to grab a bargain you can call us before the show and we can deliver it to you right away - no need to wait till the show!

The MicroBeam is supplied with lamp and barndoors. It is very quick and easy to fit a softbox if desired. The front section is removed with a quarter turn and the softbox adapter is fitted.
Normally these units are GBP 228 each but for BVE 2010 they will be available direct from the stand at just GBP 150

The Minibeam A440 is also supplied with lamp and barndoors. A softbox adapter is available if required.
There are two versions - one with just an on/off switch and the second has an inline dimmer for extra control.
Normally the on/off version are GBP 264 and the dimmable version are GBP 295 but for BVE 2010 they are just GBP 160 and GBP 180 respectively.
Payment by cash or credit card is acceptable.
All prices are EX VAT which will be added at 17.5%

Happy New Year to all our customers, dealers, distributors and friends around the world.

2009 was a surprisinly good year for Photon Beard and we actually managed to increase our turnover even in these difficult times. We enter 2010 with some exciting orders already confirmed and our R&D team are busy working on some new products which we hope to launch in the near future.

Once again thankyou all for your support in 2009 and lets hope 2010 is peace and prosperous for us all.

June 2009

We have a host of new products that are unique in many ways. Our new tunsgten Fresnel range for example are lighter and brighter than our competition.
	They also include, as standard, an anti surge resistor to limit inrush current on startup and therefore help to extend lamp life. When we embarked on the Fresnel range we did not simply copy someone else's design, we went back to first principles and designed a luminaire range from the basic concept of reflector, lamp, lens and housing.

	We also have our new range of "silent" IgbT dimmers. Using IgbT devices for dimming has some huge advantages such as no noise due to trailing edge dimming and no need for heavy chokes meaning a much lighter dimming pack. The single channel 1kW inline is ideal for ENG use in kits. For a smaller studio that just needs a few tungsten Fresnel heads but has no dimmer room available we have our 4 channel IgbT dimmer which can simply be hung in the rig and connected to 16A direct feed and DMX for control. If more than 4 channels are required simply add two or more dimmer packs.

The web site continues to be updated. All pages now at least have some information. We have also started an email newsletter which we plan on sending out about every 6 months. You can sign up for it on the "contact us" page.

Work is almost complete on the new catalogue which will bring all our products into one file. We hope to have this on line in early April.

Our recent attendance at the BVE show in London, CABSAT in Dubai and the BSC show at Elstree studio were all a great success and we would like to thank everyone who visited us there. If anyone is planning to visit NAB in Las Vegas please come by Stand (Booth) C8042 and say hello.

Finally we have put some information on the History page for anyone who is interested in our long history. We are proud to remain a British manufacturer.
