USA - Le Poisson Rouge (LPR), the multimedia art cabaret founded in 2008 by Justin Kantor and David Handler, recently carried out its latest upgrade - boosting the technical infrastructure with GLP's impression Spot One LED and G-LEC Solaris video curtain.

Located on the site of the historic Village Gate in New York's Greenwich Village, when the new owners took over the interior was completely redrawn, and John Storyk (of Walters-Storyk Design Group), the designer behind Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland Studios, helped design the room sonically.

The venue has since undergone various technical upgrades, including remotely controlled HD cameras, culminating in this latest investment, with the acquisition of 12 automated Spot One LED fixtures from 4Wall Entertainment Lighting, who have been providing LPR with high-level service for the past three years.

Said the club's director of Lighting, Jonathan Talley, "I had heard talk about about the new impression Spot One from colleagues and designers coming through LPR and contacted Mark Ravenhill and Rick Fallon at GLP; from the very beginning I was really impressed by their communication and service.

"I had been looking, and waiting, for this type of fixture for some time. Powering movers is never cheap and we always want to be more eco-friendly as well as cost efficient. Finding a fixture that can live up to and surpass moving heads allows us to do that, and as a replacement for our conventional discharge spots they provide added flexibility."

The onsite demo confirmed all the expectations. "Having a true hard edge LED profile fixture with two fully indexable gobo wheels as well as great colour mixing was impressive," continued Talley. "I also loved having the choice of either snap LED colour changes or smooth dimming and colour mixing. When I saw how solidly and intelligently they were constructed I knew we needed them in our rig."
