The HIVE offers lighting designers a range of flexibility and colour-changing capabilities that previously were considered impossible. Its modular design makes it suitable for large lighting projects from flood lighting buildings and large architectural features through to theatrical productions or underwater applications like fountains and pools. The HIVE module is also appealing to fixture manufacturers wanting to create a range of RGB lighting.
Each HIVE module uses three high-powered LEDs, including red, green and blue and is capable of producing 16.7 mi

Over recent years, Pulsar has designed and supplied the lighting system for the BEDA Awards dinner, and this year the company came up with a striking lighting design which would meet the varying demands of the show. The lighting system comprised Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200, MiniScan HPE, Alpha Wash, Alpha Spot HPE, Stage Light 300, Stage Colour 300 and CP 250 automated lighting fixtures. In addition to these, an impressive array of 46 Pulsar ChromaBanks was used along six flown trusses above the dinner tab
The fixtures were specified by Mogens Gewecke from Bico, who says: "I took the project through from start to finish, so we had to interact with all the involved contractors. The ability to interact with the internal fittings design and to project an even beam of light with low maintenance were all top priorities when it came to choosing the lights."
He continues: "We had the choice on many different brands of luminaires, but we chose the Suono F 250 MSD because it combines a great ligh
The show is a fusion of popular and classical music, featuring a 72 piece orchestra and 50-strong choir, conducted by Robert Groslot, plus a series of soloists and special guests. The 2004 Antwerp line up includes Joe Cocker, Shaggy, John Miles and James Brown plus a four-piece 'house' electric band and three backing vocalists.
This year several important production changes were made, the main ones being the introduction of the additional visual component of projection and a new layout for the stage. LD
Indosat is the primary provider of international telecommunication services in Indonesia and is involved in all forms of satellite and communication media. It wanted a facility that truly reflected its technologically advanced nature and drive for innovation not only in the interior environment but also projected on the exterior.
The scale and magnitude of the project required 400 units of LOA-333 Linear Optical Array (LOA) to create two giant rings - one at the top of the
Equipped with six DMX channels, the DP-640 offers travelling productions and theatres the all-in-one convenience of being able to simultaneously dim effects via current regulator and switch them on and off as desired. Any of the unit's six channels can easily be configured to perform either function, giving the DP-640 enough flexibility for day-to-day use in a wide variety of applications.
Featuring an extremely lightweight aluminium chassis, the DP-640 was also designed to meet the portability requirements of users on the go. The unit weighs just 6.2lbs another feature that makes it ideal for travelling productions and the rental market.

In a meeting organized by Super Vision International and Artistic Licence (UK) Ltd in October, over 30 lighting manufacturers pledged their support to this group, which calls itself 'The LED Alliance' and is calling upon all interested parties to submit any related prior art on the subject of colour mixing. Specifically, the call is for prior art information dating prior to August 1997 on the following applications:
1. Utilization of Pulse Width Modulation with LEDs; 2. Utilization
Working for production company Big Blue Media Ltd., LD Rob Merrilees designed the stand around MCL-NEC's new inventory of Color Kinetics ColorBlaze 48's and ColorBlast 12's, using 18 of the former and 24 of the latter.
ColorBlaze 48 is an intelligent high-performance LED 'border light' that provides far-reaching casts of colour and colour-changing effects, while ColorBlast 12 is a stylish, compact wall-washing light that generates rich, uniform colours and colour changing effects - ideal instruments to fuel the creative imagination of Rob Merrilees.

The Mania EF2 is much more than a DJ lighting effect. Its multi-functionality means it can be used for a variety of purposes - revolving dance floor design, funky wall or stage projection, brilliant mid-air effect and more. The effect can be either sound triggered with patterns moving to the beat of the music, or automatic, performing its own program independent of sound.
The Mania EF2 houses eight gobo patterns - four dichroic colour patterns plus four coloured textured glass gobos. With 19 beams of light, a manually selectable gobo wheel, and a variable focus that allows you to frost any effect, the Mania

The Cornerhouse offers bars, restaurants, a 14-screen cinema and the biggest nightclub in town, all under one roof. LTP's brief was to produce a discreetly placed, low-maintenance, energy efficient lighting scheme to enhance the energy and life within the building, and ultimately to attract more people.

"Lighting - and particularly lighting that is highly visible - is ever more important in large-scale productions," says black light's Gavin Stewart. "A product like this is far more efficient and cost-effective of achieving that than the current use of multiple haze machines employed to achieve the same effect. It also means less haze fluid is used, which can only be a good thing."
The Stadium Hazer's fluid is non oil-based, which means no residue is left, and the unit features a patented delivery system
Leitch initially specified a Sapphire for Joss Stone because they wanted a powerful console that was good for 'live' operation. While much of the show is planned cues, the organic and jazzy nature of Stone's set also means certain elements of the performance lend themselves to the lighting being improvised, in tune with the mood of the show and audience, and the nature of the room.
