The Sound and Light Company's production manager, Andrew Pickersgill, explained his decision: "I've not got anything like [the Fine Art luminaires] at the moment in terms of reliability. Normally by now moving heads would be in bits or have little faults with them after six months of constant hire use - but the Fine Art lights are superb, not a thing wrong with them - they're brilliant.
"The quality of the lights is fantastic and they're reliable - really reliable - and they're bright. They just tick all the right boxes basically."
The Fine Art luminaires have replaced The Sound and Light Company's out of date moving head hire stock and have immediately back filled the current work rota: A fashion show at Halifax's Victoria Theatre followed closely by a run of The Witches of Eastwick at Huddersfield's Lawrence Batley Theatre.
