Spanish manufacturer Equipson has appointed DIMATEC to handle distribution of its entire range of LightShark lighting consoles throughout France.

LightShark, a standalone brand from Equipson, is already changing the world of traditional lighting control systems by offering professionals a range of DMX-based hardware consoles that can be accessed and controlled via a web-based interface accessible from any smart device such as Smartphones, Tablets and Computers.

With over 30 years’ experience, DIMATEC imports and distributes some of the world’s leading brands of lighting equipment and accessories for various sectors including cinema, television, video and architecture. The company’s 300m² showroom in Grigny (near Paris) is dedicated to lighting and provides an exceptional facility where the latest equipment can be demo’d.

Commenting on DIMATEC’s appointment, the company’s sales manager Sébastien Caplot says: “Working with LightShark allows us to introduce our customers to the next generation of lighting consoles, which are highly intuitive, compact and powerful. These products absolutely fit this brief and are perfectly sited to this evolution. Our team is already supporting customers and users of the brand and will be providing all product demonstrations in France.”

Juan Jose Vila, CEO of LightShark’s parent company Equipson, says: “We are delighted to be working with DIMATEC as they are ideally placed to support the LightShark product range and continue to grow the brand in France where it is already proving popular with customers. The LightShark range is constantly evolving with new features that are designed to help users have more control over their events. Our aim is to give lighting professionals the tools they need to be much more sophisticated and creative with their light shows.”

The LightShark range includes the LS1, LS CORE and LS CORE iO hardware consoles, the LS WING an expansion module that can also function as a controller for other devices, and the LS NODES, fully configurable multi-function devices that can act as a ArtNet Node, Splitters and DMX512 Merger or Back-up Switcher. These products combine the versatility of a software solution with the ergonomics and ease of use of physical consoles.
