Among those lining up for casting, the new impression Wash One appeared on all eight live televised shows for the first time, with LD Jerry Appelt and his team responsible for the show's lighting design.
Appelt had already used impression series moving heads for several projects in the past - more than 300 impression 90 and impression XL fixtures featured at the European Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf - and again Jerry turned to the energy-saving features of the GLP devices. At least 40 impression Wash Ones were integrated in the stage design this time around.
"The Wash One is a real all-rounder," observes Jerry Appelt. "You can use it to create crunchy beam colours, but also clearly-selected areas on the stage can be illuminated."
Magic Light & Sound purchased the 40 impression Wash One fixtures especially for the X-Factor show. Marco Pütz, business manager of Magic Light & Sound, is also committing to further capital investment in these heads. "In addition to the economic benefits of LED technology, we can see that the Wash One is starting to show up in more and more specifications," he said.
The grand final X-Factor show was divided into two parts and broadcast on VOX Television. At the end of the voting, promising newcomer David Pfeffer emerged the winner of the second season.
