Recently the School decided to upgrade their lighting system with the purchase of eight Selador Vivid 22" and eight Vari*Lite VL500 80V.
"The Selador Series high power Vivid LED fixtures have made an excellent side light replacing what was once a very patchy par-can wash in basic colours," reports Peter Rubie, head lighting operator for the venue. "I love the 7-LED colour mixing. It gives me the ability to accurately match any gel colour instead of just the party colours you get from so many LED wash lights on the market.
"As we have such a fast turnaround of shows and a wide variety of styles of dance and theatre, we needed something that would give us lots of flexibility. I never thought I'd be using LED for my sidelight of all things, but the excellent fade curve and accurate colours means I can use it in light pastels that look great on the performers and then switch to more saturate colours for the bolder looks."
