OSRAM OFFERS BACKSTAGE LIGHT WITH NEW DOT•it® BACKSTAGE BLUE™
New Swivel Design Places Light Just Right without Disrupting the Show

Las Vegas, Nev. (October 24, 2008) – North American leader, OSRAM SYLVANIA, continues to provide entertainment solutions with the introduction of the OSRAM DOT•it ® Backstage Blue™.  Designed with the successful blueprint of the original DOT•it Linear Swivel product, the DOT•it Backstage Blue was custom-made for the entertainment industry as a less intrusive light source.  The Backstage Blue offers a wide spread of three bright blue LEDs in a linear and compact package controlled with easy touch on and off functionality.  The newest DOT•it light includes all of the great features as the original, with the added bonus of bi-directionality for wider coverage and an easier battery exchange as no screws are used.

The DOT•it Backstage Blue is ideal for areas where directional light is needed, but cannot be detected. Perfect as work lights for touring and road cases or as illumination for light and sound board operators, the Backstage Blue increases the workable light space without unsightly wires.  Other practical applications include crossover and backstage illumination during performances, for the stage manager’s desk and as a quick-change booth light source for performers.  The DOT•it Backstage Blue easily adheres to practically any surface with three options: adhesive, magnetic or hook n’ loop.

Delivering the quality and reliability that OSRAM SYLVANIA is known for, the DOT•it Backstage Blue boasts a long battery life and limited maintenance due to the inherent long life of LEDs. 

All in the Family:

Introduced in 2007, the DOT•it light family is the first portable LED lights from SYLVANIA that can stick and re-stick practically anywhere. DOT•it lights are small enough to fit in pant pockets and can stick to a variety of surfaces, including fabric, leather, plastic, glass and fiberglass. Use them anywhere light is needed: in the car, in the home, where you play, where you work and now backstage.  Meet the DOT•it family of bright LED lights.
