AUSTIN, TX – High End Systems’ new trackspot Bolt LED luminaires modernized the eletronic music club “Modernes” in Bremen, Germany. For nearly 20 years, the club has used six original High End Systems trackspot fixtures. Replacing them out with the trackspot Bolt – a full-featured, 3000 lumen moving-mirror fixture powered by an LED lighting engine – reduces their power consumption while offering them the long-lasting lighting they wanted in a lighting rig.

Belgium-based LD Luc Peumans specified 62 Robe ROBIN 600 LEDWash fixtures for the current Holiday on Ice ‘Speed’ tour. One of the creative starting points for the lighting design was making sure that the lighting fused and flowed harmoniously with the industrial toned space age set – designed by award winning stage/set designer Bart Clements. Belgium-based rental company Phlippo Showlights MC is supplying the lighting equipment.

LONDON – LED lighting fixture manufacturer Prism Projection has appointed UK-based White Light as its exclusive European distributor. White Light already served as Prism’s exclusive UK distributor over the past few years, so this expanded agreement came forth during discussions at LDI 2011.

CANNES, France – Elation Professional’s Opti Tri White LED Pars were called in to shed some light on November’s G-20 Summit in Cannes, France.

SOUTH KIRKBY, Yorkshire, UK – LS-Live developed and delivered a touring set for hip hop’s Tinie Tempah. The key elements of the design include three cages outfitted with LED battens to act as performance spaces for the drummer, keyboard player and DJ. The cages sat on scissor lifts, which raised up and down during the show.

BLACKBURN, UK – HSL supplied Electric Fly Productions with lighting equipment for The Darkness’s UK tour. LD Nick Jevons collaborated with the band to create a look – for varied sizes of venues – described as “rock ‘n’ roll meets the faded freakshow end of the circus scale.” One of the biggest technical coups of the tour was fitting the entire rig into Nottingham Rock City and filling Hammersmith Apollo with exactly the same rig.
