"As a world-class conference facility, we want to ensure that we use only the best products and services. So when it came to choosing a partner for our mobile lighting needs, we went straight to the best in the industry - Martin Professional - who have an outstanding track record in providing quality and reliable lighting to the entire events industry," said Lee Forde, head of technical at The Convention Centre Dublin.
"In keeping with our goal of running The CCD as a sustainable business, we are delighted to be able to use Martin Professional's new LED lighting, where possible," he adds.
Installed in The CCD's largest halls, The Forum and The Liffey Suite as well as in its 2000-seat Auditorium with full theatrical stage, the CCD will use Martin Professional products for stage productions, product launches and banqueting events such as award ceremonies. The CCD's Martin Professional lighting solution will include 10 x Martin MAC III Profile with MAC III Performance modules, 12 x Martin MAC 700 Wash, 10 x Martin MAC 700 Profile, 84 x Martin MAC 575 Krypton and 18 x Martin MAC 301 LED Wash. All Martin lighting gear was supplied to The CCD by Cine Electric.
"We are thrilled that The CCD has chosen an extensive range of Martin products to highlight their various flexible spaces," said Jessica Allan, sales manager show/TV/theatre for Martin Professional Ltd. "It is really a perfect fit. As one of the first conference centres worldwide to use the MAC III Profile with the new MAC III Performance module, the CCD secured the ultimate flexible lighting solution while reinforcing its position as a leading conference facility with the latest in high-technology lighting. In addition, by leveraging Martin's energy-saving mode, together with the MAC III's incredible light output, which meant the CCD required fewer fixtures, significant savings will result through the reduction of overall power consumption and operating costs."
