"However, with so much lighting and trussing and a big video screen filling the stage area, space was at a premium. There are only a couple inches' clearance on either side of our video truss when you fly it up. We needed a fixture that would fit into our limited stage space, yet also give off lots of brightness and visual excitement."
Eight Design Spot 250s were hung overhead from the existing screen truss, while the remaining four units are being used on the floor. With Carrot Top not yet midway through his 280-annual-show three-year contract with the Luxor, and an extension in the works, his lighting gear must be able to withstand a gruelling schedule. "The Design Spot 250 is up to the task," says O'Leary. "You really can't beat this light for reliability, cost-point and brightness. Perhaps most importantly, with its many standout features, the Design Spot 250 can create effects as unique the one-of-a-kind comedian it's spotlighting."
