MARBELLA, Spain – Rental company Sonobalance provided Clay Paky and other fixtures to light an all-night party at the Nikki Beach Marbella beach club earlier this summer. The light rig included 12 Clay Paky Mythos units with an MA Lighting grandMA2 ultra-light desk for control. David Calero Vioque managed the lighting for the event, using the fixtures to add to the festive atmosphere, using the Mythos as both a spot and beam fixture. The resort, pictured here, opened in 2003.
More details from Clay Paky (www.claypaky.it ):
The Mythos is the first 470W light with this option in a single device: it produces a well defined light beam with a 4°-50° zoom. Its optical unit allows you to switch from spotlight to beam light mode with a beam angle of only 0.5°. Moreover, you can use it to create highly dynamic effects since it has both fixed and rotating gobos, and a visual effects wheel that turns at different speeds in different directions. This makes it possible to overlap the gobos.
In addition, its CMY system allows color mixing with a fixed color range with gradual evanescence. Nevertheless it can also produce pastel shades, thanks to its CTO and CTB filters. Its high precision dimmer and strobe effect with variable frequency make it a feature-rich light. The versatile, powerful, precise Mythos is an indispensable tool for any kind of production.
A grandMA2 ultra-light was also available. It is a lightweight console with the same performance as the other grandMA2 series desks. Its controls are in the same places as on the large consoles and it has 4,096 parameters and 6 DMX outputs.
All the equipment was supplied by the rental company Sonobalance, which provided the Clay Paky Mythos units and the MA Lighting GrandMA2 Ultra-light desk, distributed in Spain by Stonex.
Nikki Beach Marbella, inaugurated in 2003, is found on one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Marbella. The beach club has a swimming pool with VIP lounge chairs on a raised platform, an outdoor restaurant, a bar in the middle, and a VIP terrace from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Mediterranean.
