Projected onto the King's Castle's turrets were a variety of themed images - ghosts, skeletons, jack-o'-lanterns and bats - up to six images per luminaire with creative options such as image rotation, dynamic focus and dimming. The Exterior 400 Image Projector's interchangeable colour slots allowed each image to change colour up to eight times, adding a further dynamic element to the ghostly atmosphere.
At over 7000 lumens of power, the Exterior 400 Image Projector had no problem handling the 40m projection throws, and the fixture's narrow to wide beam angle options made for precise and complete coverage.
Adding shades of holiday colour to the King's Castle's various facades, walls and turrets were Martin's Exterior 400 and Exterior 410 LED luminaires, together with Exterior 1200 Washes, while in the King's Castle's courtyard Martin Tripix Wash luminaires colour-washed interior walls.
Stormy lightning effects from Atomic 3000 strobes and atmospheric fog from a Jem Roadie Compact added to the frightful feel in the internal courtyard. Lighting control of the King's Castle Halloween installation was from a Martin M1 desk.
