Christ Fellowship Worship Centre was established in 1984 and stages around four regular weekend services plus additional events.
Leahy first saw Robe's new Pointes at PLASA Focus in Orlando, shortly after the product - Robe's fastest selling to date - was launched at Prolight+Sound 2013 in Frankfurt. He knew immediately that it was the right light for their venue.
Following that, he discussed the matter with Nathan Carroll, director of live production who oversees all Christ Fellowship's technical aspects and arranged for the entire technical team from the Palm Beach Gardens CF campus to have a demo of Pointes at Infocomm 2013.
Everyone was suitably impressed ... and the order was placed.
Robe was specified for a number of reasons. Leahy comments that Jerry Seay from Robe Inc's sales team was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, forging a good relationship right from the start.
In the venue, the Pointes are positioned around the lighting rig, placed so all their features can be utilised most effectively, from the 0 degree beam effects to the linear prism and wash which are excellent as backlight.
Having the Pointes - delivered via the Miami office of Stage Equipment & Lighting - is making a massive difference to the overall look and feel of the CF Palm Beach Gardens worship services. After the first event using Pointes they received numerous comments on the difference and quality of the service lighting ... so the new fixtures instantly made an impression.
