"The Mac 2000 Washes were the main wash lights for the performance forestage and were chosen for their very bright zoomed down optics, giving us the ability to throw a controlled light beam up to 100m at their targets," said Marenghi. "Dressed in their RainMACs, they were just the tool for a very cold and wet event." The majority of the Martin fixtures were supplied through Italian rental company Agora Lighting and Sound.
This was in fact the second Olympic Games for the Mac 2000 Wash. At the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games the Mac 2000 Wash was the main washlight fixture used for the Opening Ceremony and was also an integral part of the closing festivities.
