The console was delivered via Zero 88 distributor Black Light, and is installed in the theatre at Howden Park
UK - Eaton's New Zero 88 FLX lighting console is proving a great solution for Howden Park Centre in Livingston, Scotland, a busy multi-functional venue featuring a 300 seater theatre, three fully configurable studio spaces, two galleries and meeting rooms, complete with a vibrant and varied programme of music, arts and performance.

The FLX console is a recent addition to the equipment inventory. The console was specified by Howden Park's technical co-ordinator Ian Gibson and theatre technician Stephen Oakes, who undertakes most of the show operation - and they are delighted.

Ian and Stephen first became aware of the FLX - launched at the 2015 Prolight+Sound, expo in Frankfurt - via a Zero 88 mailshot, which was followed up by a demo from Eaton's Paul McEwan.

The new console was delivered via Edinburgh based Zero 88 distributor Black Light, and is installed in the theatre at Howden Park, where it is controlling up to 125 channels of dimmed light sources, six LED spot lights and six LED wash moving heads, four LED battens and two LED flood fixtures.

Having now used the FLX console on several shows, they are even more impressed with the options and advantages it brings to lighting any show.

"The multi-touch screens and features like tap-tempo for each chase and the colour picker with filter selection are really intuitive, great time-savers and a vast improvement over anything else available in the price range" enthused Ian.

The theatre, which stages approximately 200 shows a year also has Zero 88 dimming - a mix of Chillis and Betapacks.
