"With a lifetime of 75.000 hours, the big advantage of the cyclorama LL stage CYC is its availability in five light colour versions and the possibility of custom-modification for any colour combinations," adds Leader Light.
Leader Light will next be at Light + Building 2014 in Frankfurt, Germany on stand number 4.1 F51.
Other highlights involved the inventive Robin MiniMe winning the Prolight+Sound International Press Award (PIPA) for 'Lights FX' [sic], and for the second year, the Robe team was joined on the stand for one day by Czech MotoGP rider Karel Abraham and his bike.

There were numerous reasons to celebrate, not least being because LD Michael Rahr's inspired lighting concept was one of the most dynamic and interactive seen in the lighting segment of the show; it enabled visitors to address directly the cornucopia of ground-breaking LED effects.
Specifically, SGM passed several milestones. First, Michael Herweg, head of SGM Deutschland GmbH, was able to present Fürth based dry hire company, Motion Light with a special golden P-5 to mark the 1000th sale of the high-selling/high-powered energy efficient wash light.
Then another mighty company, PRG, which has already embraced the P-5, placed a m

"I originally stepped into the LED world for the power savings," Derek states, "but then I started to really like the brightness of some of the LED spots that are coming out, especially the Satura Spot, and decided to use them on the show."
Tritt is a multi-Grammy and CMA award-winning artist and plays anywhere from 80 to 100 shows year in and year out. His latest outing started 10 January with a series of acoustic shows before getting the full band involved for a run of shows that has him touring through September and likely longer.

Teams are given the same technical 'ingredients' (lighting instruments and cables) to light specific outdoor parts of the College's beautiful green campus. The team of lighting design students from Rose Bruford College and two teams from UCL's Bartlett School of Architecture also participated alongside contestants from well-established professional practices.
The nature of competition is for teams of professional and commercial lighting firms to match expertise against one another to produce a lighting installation that is judged on both artist merits and technical achievements by a professional judging panel drawn from professional peers from the Society of Light and Ligh

During the four-day show, Clay Paky's stand was constantly crowded with countless industry professionals from every continent. The demo area in particular was literally "taken by storm". Although over 30 demos were held, both in English and German, they were always "sold-out", forcing many determined latecomers to watch the demonstrations from the passageways alongside the booth.
This was no doubt due to the new products on show - the B-EYE, the SuperSharpy and the Stormy - and the ability of Clay Paky's lighting designer, Marco Zucchinali, to put on a highly impressive light show.
