LONDON – ChromaPowerPix200, a recent addition to Pulsar's ChromaRange Tri Colour fixture list, has found a spot on the BBC's youth-oriented Blue Peter TV show in the U.K. LD Lee Allen opted to use the fixtures for the music performance by The Saturdays. Allen had been introduced to the fixtures at a Pulsar-sponsored event at Richard Martin Lighting, the lighting rental company that supplied the fixtures for the show.
Six of the ChromaPowerPix200 fixtures used as a centerpiece for the set, flown behind the band's position. They were equipped with a white fascia panel and diffusion domes for a clean and unique look.
Another two fixtures were rigged on both sides of the centrepiece and used as stage blinders. Riggers made use of the fixtures' optional hanging yokes, which can be quickly and securely attached by camlock fasteners. These units were also fitted with 10 degree beam angle optics plates, and with the white fascia panel removed, the black body allowed the fixtures to disappear into the lighting grid.
"With the very tight time schedule for the day, the ChromaPowerPix200 fixtures were very quick to rig and their fitted trailing cables made it very easy to connect the system together," Allen said. "The fixtures use the same control channel allocations as other ChromaRange fixtures, so it was extremely quick to get them working on the desk as no new personality definitions were needed. With the diffusion domes fitted, the centerpiece offered strong bold colors and stunning visual effects whilst the blinder versions created a fantastically bright punchy beam through the haze."
