The Winterthur Theatre in Switzerland, which hosts around 250 theatrical events every year, has recently undergone a lighting upgrade, overseen by lighting director Wilfried Potthoff, who had the theatre outfitted with 50 Clay Paky CP Color 150-E colour changers. Products were supplied by Claudio Merlo’s ECM, distributor of Clay Paky products in Switzerland.

The majority of the products was installed overhead in the large hall adjacent to the main auditorium. The theatre frequently hosts conventions, parties, meetings or other gatherings in this area, often accompanied by background music. The CP Color colour-changers can provide synchronized colour-washes and cross-fades to create a variety of moods and effects to augment these occasions.

More CP Colors were placed behind a white canvas inside the theatre to create very effective colour scenes, boldly standing out among the theatre’s thousand traditional lights. 10 other CP Colors were positioned outside the theatre to light its striking modern façade.

Potthoff was extremely pleased with having opted for this creative technological layout. He commented: "I received so many compliments for my decision to use CP Colors. They truly offer a countless number of colour variations while maintaining remarkable light intensity with any beam angle. I decided to invest in the CP Color 150-E model because it is an ‘IP65’, suitable for working in outdoor settings as well: this gave the greatest flexibility in movement, and if I want, in the future I can organize my lighting system by redistributing the colour changers in the building’s various internal and external areas."
