White Light Brings Lighting, Audio & Media Control to Event Production Show

SYRACUSE, NY – Entertainment artists who like designing on the fly – or watching a Chopped-style real-life challenge – will get their chance at USITT 2015 in Cincinnati. Among the 275 sessions, events, and activities at the Duke Energy Convention Center March 18-21 are several “game show” competitions asking designers to create on deadline.

TAMPA, FL – Usher kicked off his current “The UR Experience” tour in November with Elation Professional’s award-winning Sniper multi-effect light used extensively throughout the show as a key accent element including laser simulation. The Sniper, Elation’s new beam, scanner and laser simulator in one, has been used on a growing number of shows and special events since its launch last October, both in the U.S. and abroad.

MIDDLETON, WI – If your DOB (date of birth) is prior to 1990, you may not know that EDM stands for Electronic Dance Music – the offspring of a musical orgy attended by disco, techno, house and reggae sometime in the late Eighties. In an act of revenge for those who declared disco to be dead, EDM has emerged as the fastest growing sector of the live-entertainment industry. EDM will be around long after the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac wrap up their very last (they promise) reunion tours. If you don’t believe this, you should hack your kid’s Twitter account. Like the social media that fuels this musical form, widespread acceptance is a danger-signal and a cue to move on to something new.

PADUCAH, KY – Replacing inefficient incandescent bulbs has not only been a government-mandated trend but a blessing in disguise for Paducah, Kentucky’s Lone Oak First Baptist Church where are all worshipers can now clearly see their Bibles, hymnals and bulletins thanks to a recent installation of nearly 100 elektraLite Dazer LED fixtures.
