Bradford-based Universal Live works extensively in the corporate sector - supplying production equipment to conferences, roadshows, exhibitions, concerts, tours, festivals and other special events.
The sale was co-ordinated between Grant Smith from AC-ET's Leeds office and Universal Live's MD, Jon Eden and hire manager, Ben Phillips.
Prior to the sale, Universal already owned a quantity of Chroma-Q Color Force 72 1.8m length LED battens, bought at the end of 2010 from (AC-ET), which is the UK dealer. These have been in constant use ever since, and they were so impressed with the power and performance of the fixtures that they decided to buy more - this time, 12 each of the Color Force 12 300mm multi-purpose units and Color Force 48 1.2m batten versions.
Universal Live has owned Robe products for several years, having bought their original ColorSpot 250 and 575E AT fixtures from AC-ET. This recent upgrade included 16 Robin 600 Spots, four Robin MMX Spots and two DigitalSpot 7000DT moving head projectors.
As soon as AC-ET delivered these to Universal, they went directly out on an event for a leading UK retail chain.
