Europe - Schoko Pro in Wiesbaden recently organised a corporate event at the Stockholm Exhibition Centre. For the lighting of the entire day's celebration, involving both conference and gala spaces, the team led by project manager Joe Wippel used Claypaky’s compact Midi-B Wash/Beamlight.
300 moving lights fitted with 19x40W LEDs replaced an older LED wash light of the same size supplied by a different manufacturer and used for this same event in previous years.
Jens Wetterkamp of NicLen, a dry-hire company in Dortmund, suggested that Schoko Pro try Claypaky's Midi-B. “As soon as I looked at the technical data sheet I realised that this solution was exactly what we were looking for. Then, once on site, the projector took us by surprise in several different ways: it is lightweight, bright, extremely stylish, generates delightful colours and has an excellent zoom [4° - 50°]. A complete package that was far beyond all our expectations.”
The Midi-B were used in both the gala and conference areas during the event. The fixtures envisaged for the conference area illuminated the stage, and also the large area designated to the audience.
Apart from the technical advantages, Midi-B convinced the Schoko Pro team due to its user-friendly menu, ease of handling and its aesthetic design. “We were very impressed with the base and body of the projector. It is outstandingly discreet and stylish, something that is always an advantage for a corporate event. In fact, the design reminds me slightly of the legendary VL5,” Wippel commented. “Functionality and design are both fundamental aspects as far as we are concerned.”
“When choosing lighting fixtures, it is also important to assess their practicality for our technicians – they must therefore be easy to install, have a short reset time, a simple and user-friendly menu setup and a reduced margin of error when in use.”
