20 moving head luminaires and 40 scanners from Clay Paky provide lighting for the stage and the lobby of the theatre, together with many other standard projectors, with control from MA Lighting consoles. Both the lighting system and the consoles were supplied by Lightpower of Paderborn, which has been supplying the venue since 1984.
Olaf Eichler, lighting director of the Friedrichstadtpalast, has spoken of this close collaboration lasting many years in these terms: "Lightpower convinced us from the very beginning with its company philosophy - highly professional sales consulting, where you never have the impression that they are out to make money fast. The company really offers an excellent service, from repairs to advice and technical assistance whilst planning the projects, without overlooking technical support . . . The range of products they offer stands out for its absolute quality. In addition, our personnel have been able to attend very useful training courses and seminars."
