Lighting designer Naldo Bueno from Oficina de Luz designed a parade route sculpted with the Alpha Beam 1500 fixtures, creating a skyline effect. Lighting equipment was supplied by MR Light the exclusive distributor of Clay Paky products in Brazil.
Renan Mendez, commercial director for MR Light commented: "Every year for Carnival, we have problems with the power of the common moving lights, because in the Apoteose, where the parade takes place, there are more than 1200 lux of illumination in order to guarantee good video TV reception. Alpha Beam 1500 surprised us all with its light output and speed movements. The beam effect could be seen perfectly along the entire parade course."
Robson Pirata, technical and service manager for MR Light said, "Alpha Beam is a product with a fantastic light output, many good effects and very efficient CMY on a beam moving light. In the future, for me it will be very difficult to think about the lighting of the Carnival parade - as well as other projects which require a lot of illumination such as TV programs, DVD live recording, etc. - without the Alpha Beam 1500."
MR Light is one of the leading distributors in Brazil of professional lighting equipment for theatres, live events, television studios, and architectural installations. In early 2009, MR Light and Clay Paky entered a partnership for the exclusive distribution of Clay Paky products in Brazil.
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky GM for North and Latin America said, "We feel sure of a successful future with MR Light, as they have proven to be a key player in the emerging market in Brazil and beyond. They were eager to take on the Alpha Beam line, as a winning and innovative product, conceived to complete one of the widest professional moving head lines in the world. Alpha Beams have been featured in leading events around the world. We feel confident that Brazil will see more of this product in big shows to come."
