What Prolights does
Prolights is a brand of Music & Lights S.r.l., an Italian privately-held company headquartered in Minturno (Latina, Italy) that designs and manufactures professional LED lighting fixtures and video products for the entertainment, architectural, and broadcast industries. The company's portfolio spans moving heads (Jet Profile300LT, Astra Hybrid330, Astra Profile600IP), static stage lights (Solar 48Q, Smart BatWash, HaluPix Duo), theatre/film/studio fixtures, architectural projectors and linear systems, video/LED screens, and control accessories (UPBOXPRO firmware interface, LRAURORA wireless DMX transceiver, IPTESTBOX IP certification tester). Core technology investments include Spektra-calibrated LED engines delivering CRI values above 93, motorized zoom optics with ranges up to 3°–62°, IP65 outdoor-rated housings with C5M anti-corrosion coating options, and integrated LumenRadio TiMo FX RDM wireless DMX (CRMX/W-DMX).
