Australia - Intense Lighting has expanded its inventory with Prolights EclProfile CT+ fixtures. This upgrade allowed the company to support the world premiere of Gilgamesh, a production by the Sydney Chamber Opera in collaboration with Opera Australia.
Ian Garrad, director of Intense Lighting, stated: "The Prolights EclProfile CT+ fixtures have proven essential to our work. Not only do they offer superior brightness, but the integrated homogeniser ensures flawless colour mixing, simplifying on-site operations. Their compatibility with our existing accessories was another key factor in the success of the installation."
The EclProfile CT+ model was selected for its optical performance, featuring optimised light output and advanced colour management through its six-colour LED source with a high CRI. These features enabled versatile lighting that was particularly well suited to the production's requirements, where colour accuracy and beam consistency were critical.
Lighting designer Amelia Lever-Davidson used the Prolight EclProfile CT+ for Gilgamesh, highlighting their role in creating a complex lighting design on a white 18x20m stage.
"The consistency and uniformity of the light beam were crucial for maintaining the visual integrity of the scene, especially given the tight focus times," said Lever-Davidson. "The Prolights EclProfile CT+ proved essential in delivering powerful and even lighting over significant distances, up to 25m."
The ability of these fixtures to operate with extremely low noise levels made them ideal for the operatic setting, where silence is essential. Additionally, their flexible colour management allowed the lighting to adapt seamlessly to a wide range of dynamic scenes, from mysterious forests to ancient temples, without compromising visual quality.
"Choosing the Prolights EclProfile CT+ was pivotal to the success of the lighting in Gilgamesh," added Garrad. "They delivered the luminous power needed to cover large spaces, along with extraordinary colour quality and smooth gradient control."
