NAT, who utilize Coemar automated lighting exclusively in their rental fleet, had worked closely with the Italian manufacturers during the development of the new Flex range and saw the Renault stand - with its long throw distances and high output required - as an ideal opportunity to debut the range.
NAT installed 80 iWash Flex luminaires, interspersed with 18 Coemar 2.4K SuperCycs and 19 Coemar 2.5k PC theatrical projectors, to create a stunning presentation for the new Megane, Scenic and F1 showcase cars. All the lighting cues on the Wholehog II desk were programmed by Remy Roland, working for DoP Frederick Dorieux, while the daily refocusing was maintained by Matthieu Fouillade.
NAT, who specialize in corporate events and trade shows, as well as television, have favoured Coemar products throughout their history. They were first introduced to Dorieux while working on a television production. "He wanted to use us for the Motor Show and this is the second year we have worked for Renault," explained Matthieu. Dorieux notes that the patented ‘Best Color System’ allows there to be virtually no loss of intensity when filtered through the dichroic glass. Other benefits are the patented internal barn door system, with the widest range of beam angle and optional lenses to allow for beam-shaping. "By being able to vary the power output you can utilise the lamps as if it were attached to a dimmer," he said. "This is a real breakthrough for Coemar."
