SRD Group in Kent were asked to supply a unique lighting effect to add height, depth and texture to the stage. To do this they purchased 30x 1m LED tubes from MilTec (UK) Ltd. The tubes were used in two locations- 10 mounted on the curved roof of the stage, fanning out vertically to add height and 20 were hung vertically at the rear, forming a curtain of light. The tubes were pixelmapped onto an Avolites Pearl desk and used throughout the day to complement and enhance the stage lighting.
Colin Umbers, project manager for SRD reports, "The customer had a clear idea of the effect that was required but the original plan turned out to be very expensive. I contacted MilTec because I had seen their 3D tubes in a local installation and we organised a demo. After the show, the organisers commented on how bright and effective they were, showing up clearly even during the daylight hours of the show."
