GUANGZHOU, China – For the opening and closing ceremonies of the 16th Asian Games, both lasting longer than 1 hour 40 minutes, PR Lighting accounted for more than 850 of the fixtures used, including more than 400 XL1200 Framing, 200 XL1500 Framing, 150 XL1200 Wash and 100 XL1200 Wash fixtures.
During the preparation for the event, general director Weiya Chen noted that the opening and closing ceremonies should not only be "elegant, creative and unique," but also "multi-dimensional, and provide an all-encompassing festival of artistry and culture."
