Hansjörg Schmidt, lighting design programme director at Rose Bruford, says, "We are very happy with the Ion, which was purchased for use by students on the BA (Hons) Lighting Design course at Rose Bruford College. Students use the desk in our specialist lighting labs to create small scale projects in a range of applications, from theatre lighting to product launch and concert lighting projects. The console is also used to serve college productions, both on campus and on tour as well as for main college productions at a range of London venues.
"The Ion replaces one of the lighting programme's ETC Express desks and we hope to continue upgrading our resources over the next two years."
Over the summer London Light also supported the college by doing their PAT testing on all their lighting equipment in their two theatres, two studios and three lighting labs, enabling the College's technicians to take a well-earned break before the new academic year started.
David Buffham, managing director at London Light explains, "We have had a great response since becoming console dealers for ETC and have had many people approaching us about the Eos and Congo ranges but also about the new ETC Element console. Working with Rose Bruford has allowed us to work closer with the new faces within the industry and support them as they develop their careers."
