Held at the Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, in front of 2,400 of the country's leading A-list VIPs, celebrities and socialities, Osho himself based much of his lighting design around PR Lighting effects - using six each of the XR200 Beam and XLED 1037 to create the impact, along with four XLED 336 and 12 PR348.
Working within a set designed by Bolaji Durojaiye of Equally Diverse Solutions, the fixtures were mounted on three sided trussing, measuring 5m (H) x 9m (W) x 13m (L) and mixed with discharge and other LED bars, helped deliver a vibrant colour canvas of blue and purple. The show itself was run from an Avolite Pearl Tiger 2010 console.
Mark Osho says it was the experience gained in purchasing the new generation PR Lighting products for other clients (and personal use) that convinced him they would become popular items in Megavision Lighting's own hire fleet. "I was impressed with their quality, but also PR Lighting's friendly on-time service and warranty policies," he said. "We presently have six each of the XR200 Beam and XLED 1037 - but plan to increase stock before the end of the year."
The Miss Nigeria event organisers (African Times Network and Beth Model Management Africa) were delighted with the set design and the impact of the lighting, which they noted "had the flexibility to switch mood as the programme progressed".
