Getting on to this appropriately-named company's stand was difficult at times, the dazzling wall and floor-mounted Ayrton Dreampanel display acting as a particularly eye-catching beacon - even in a show where a vast range of LED panels and fixtures were literally blitzing visitors' attention.

LED lighting fixtures were a mainstay of the stand, but there was also a UK debut for the Antari Z series of smoke machines, plus a wide range of moving heads and scanners on show.
