This thermal management techonology provides Advaced Temperature Control monitored via sensors and software, keeping optimal LED junction temperatures, and ensuring maximum reliability for long-term use. The ThermalDriveTM system includes cutting-edge heat removal via passive thermal tecniques and active forced-air cooling (depending on the product), specifically designed to maintain LED efficiency while extending fixture's lifetime.
All luminaires featuring this technology include all the TruColorTM capabilities, plus high color rendering (CRI / TLCI / CQS 90+) when using all RGB or RGBAM LEDs to achieve high-output dynamic whites. SGM's TruColor+TM luminaires use an enhanced color engine that improves accuracy and consistency both for color mixing and low-end dimming, while using the same procedures to match the SGM color palette.
Designer selectable algorithm for advanced color path control, allowing any mixed RGB value to hold a specific color point in the spectrum by modifying the color temperature data. Color filter emulation presets react to color temperature adjustments when this color path is selected. All products featuring the next-gen VersaPathTM color engine also include the standard SGM proprietary color mixing algorithm.
More light. Less Truck Space. Lower production cost.
The PALCO-3 Wash is a compact, foldable RGBL wash luminaire designed for the realities of modern productions — where logistics, speed, and efficiency matter as much as output.
Its unique folding design dramatically reduces transport volume, allowing rental companies and touring productions to deliver powerful stage washes while moving significantly more fixtures in the same space.
The result is simple: more light per truck, fewer cases, and faster setups.
Designed for logistics efficiency
Traditional wash fixtures consume valuable flight-case space and truck capacity. The PALCO-3 Wash changes that equation.
Its foldable construction allows fixtures to pack tightly into transport cases, maximizing density and minimizing wasted space.
For rental companies, this means:
-
More fixtures per flight case
-
Fewer cases to transport
-
Reduced truck space requirements
-
Lower transport costs
-
Faster load-in and load-out
Over the course of a tour or large production, these efficiencies translate directly into lower labour costs and higher profitability.
High output in a compact format
Despite its compact footprint, the PALCO-3 Wash delivers powerful RGBL color mixing with rich saturation and balanced white light.
The advanced LED engine produces vibrant colors and smooth dimming, making the fixture equally suited to:
-
concerts and touring productions
-
theatre and stage lighting
-
corporate events
-
temporary architectural installations
Built for demanding environments
With an IP65 rating, the PALCO-3 Wash is designed to perform reliably both indoors and outdoors.
Its robust construction ensures consistent performance in challenging environments such as festivals, touring rigs, and temporary installations where durability and reliability are essential.
Smart control for modern lighting systems
The PALCO-3 Wash integrates seamlessly into professional lighting networks with support for:
-
DMX and RDM
-
Art-Net and sACN
-
Wireless CRMX
-
NFC configuration via mobile devices
This ensures fast setup, flexible control, and compatibility with modern lighting infrastructures.
The economic advantage
For production companies and rental houses, lighting performance is only part of the equation. Logistics and labour determine the real cost of a show.
By allowing more fixtures to travel in fewer cases and trucks, the PALCO-3 Wash reduces transport volume, simplifies handling, and accelerates setup.
More fixtures. Fewer trucks. Lower costs - That’s the true power of the PALCO-3 Wash.
