The show features a new fully integrated Schnick-Schnack-Systems multi-media LED lighting installation
USA - ABC's Dancing with the Stars features a new production design by James Yarnell, set designer, and Simon Miles, lighting designer. A new set with the dance floor raised above the audience provides a 360-degree stage taking full advantage of the studio space including three balcony tiers, and the dancers making their grand entrance through the new tracking centre-stage staircase. The new design also features a new fully integrated Schnick-Schnack-Systems multi-media LED lighting installation in its North American television debut.

"The visual quality of Schnick-Schnack-Systems is really apparent; the vivid colours and effects combinations are almost endless," notes Simon Miles. "Schnick-Schnack is specifically designed for applications like this. The colour consistency, quick response, and great 'on camera' performance is brilliant. The quality is exactly what you would expect of German engineering. We were also rather impressed with the ease of installation into such a large, complex set. Everyone is very happy."

The Schnick-Schnack-Systems LED-strips used on Dancing With The Stars each have 10 high output Nichia LEDs evenly spaced along their 250mm length.

Schnick-Schnack-Systems is exclusively distributed in North America by TMB.
