GLP #1062

GLP (German Light Products) is a German manufacturer of professional stage lighting equipment for the live events, theater, and television industries. Known for innovative LED fixtures: the impression moving head series (X4/X5), the JDC hybrid strobes, and the MAD MAXX line.

The company was founded in 1994 in Karlsbad, Germany, by Udo Künzler, starting from his idea for an innovative fixture that combined scanner technology with the then-emerging moving light technology. In 2007, GLP released the compact LED fixture impression 90, followed in 2012 by the impression X4 series, which became an industry standard among lighting designers. Since 2011 the company has been 100% privately owned; it has grown through both in-house development and acquisitions (G-LEC, Fusion), opening offices in the USA, the UK, Hong Kong, France, and Sweden. In 2024, GLP celebrated its 30th anniversary.
