Founded 18 years ago, the company started purchasing from the Chinese manufacturer five years ago. "We liked the quality and price of the products, with features similar to the top European brands," said MOS director, Hussain Faizal. "We always receive great after sales service and a quick response to any questions."
Consequently, when they were contracted by event management company, Wizcraft Colombo, to provide a technical infrastructure (including rigging) for the 4000 fans who attended the Yanni show at Sugadathasa Indoor Stadium they were able to dip heavily into their PR Lighting hire fleet. This now includes 28 XL 1200 Spot, 12 XL 1200 Wash, five Mega Colour search light and eight Century Colour 2500.
Lighting designer Hussain Faizal selected large quantities of the XL Wash and XL Spot and distributed them on the overhead truss - at back, Centre and right of the stage - as well as using further heads for floor effects (left and right) - with in-fills from the truss bar.
Reviewing the event afterwards, he said, "The show was amazing, and enjoyed by all the audience. The quality of the lighting production was excellent reaching the highest international standards. Overall it was a great success."
