Leidse Koorboeken Concerts Lit with Clay Paky GlowUp Fixtures

THE NETHERLANDS – Keylight provided the lighting design and gear to support a series of concerts celebrating the six religious choir books kept in the Dutch Leiden Archives that date from the 16^th Century. Called the Leidse Koorboeken Concerts, the performances were staged across The Netherlands and supported for the fifth consecutive year by Keylight, which included Clay Paky GlowUp fixtures in the tour rig.

“Over the past two years, Keylight has been fortunate to implement our stock of Clay Paky GlowUp fixtures to support our role as lighting supplier,” said Keylight LD Gary Yates. “The audience at each venue surrounded the stage 360 degrees for the “in the round” setting and our RGBW GlowUp fixtures were perfectly suited to this situation,” he added.

“With no cable to run we could seriously reduce the build up and break down time to suit our day, basically meaning we could start at 1pm and be ready for a 3 pm rehearsal. The fixtures were controlled by a wireless DMX signal from the light console and worked faultlessly throughout.”

The design element of the lamp was also a feature not to be forgotten. 30 fixtures were used to highlight architectural features, positioned in close proximity to the public. The design team stated that the solid construction of the GlowUp fixtures reduced the risk of the lamps being pushed or knocked over. In addition, the fact that they produce no heat or require no cable provided a safe environment, appreciated not only by the production but also by the venues visited.

Yates added, “Using the Clay Paky GlowUp gives Keylight the ability to offer our clients more lighting to suit budget requirements whilst reducing the amount of crew for set up and tear down. Once set up we are able to provide the client and venue with a well-lit, cable free environment. Everybody’s happy! We could not return to using conventional lighting fixtures in this type of environment.”
