Arcstream AV provided four lasers for the performance including a 10watt Full Colour, two 6 watt Green OPS systems and an 8 watt Green OPS, to create a stunning effect as Rihanna pushed the button on Westfield's Christmas installations.
Arcstream AV's managing director Neil Dickinson reports, "Westfield was looking for an effect which would engage the huge crowd this event always pulls in, and lasers are a brilliant way of creating an effect in a large space. We used 20 diffraction mirrors placed throughout the atrium area sending beams literally everywhere to cover the massive audience."
Simon Jones, technical manager of Westfield London adds, "The lasers were a perfect solution for a light switch on to give it extra big effects, being the events space is very bright two 10 watt units proved to overcome this.The improvement in laser technology in the past 10 years still amazes me, to how small, light, low power and easy to work with from the days of large units with water pumps and three phase power.The lasers added the perfect effect to give the audience the WOW factor."
