NEW YORK — David Agress, lighting director for Radio City Entertainment, included Ayrton MagicBlade-R LED luminaires in his design for the new live theatrical production, New York Spring Spectacular, featuring the Rockettes. The show is scheduled to run through May 7 at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
More details from Ayrton (www.ayrton.fr) and U.S. distributor Morpheus Lights (www.morpheuslights.com):
“I originally intended to feature the MagicBlade-R units as high-energy background effect fixtures in two production numbers — and they performed beautifully and reliably,” Agress notes. “The big bonus for me, however, was that even when they were flown out to their storage position (42 feet above the stage), they were so powerful, and the color so consistent and rich, that I was able to use them as backlight for the Rockettes as well as for illuminating scenic pieces throughout the show.”
Already a huge success with television and rock-and-roll designers, MagicBlade-R features seven Osram Ostar 15W RGBW emitters coupled with proprietary 67-mm collimator optics that project tight 4.5° beams. The distinctive seven-in-a-row configuration is fully pixel-mappable and features continuous unlimited rotation on both the pan and tilt axes.
Las Vegas based Morpheus Lights is the exclusive distributor of Ayrton products in the U.S. Morpheus also provides Concert Touring systems and personnel, B-to-B Equipment Rental and Lighting Services for the Las Vegas market. Further information and contacts can be found at www.morpheuslights.com.
