BigFish specified 18 Ovation E-910FC colour rendering RGBA-Lime fixtures for the event's three stages (Lions Innovations, Lions Health and Lions education) that hosted speakers, demonstrations and panel discussions. The company also hung 24 Nexus 4x4 COB LED panels above the audience and the conference's exhibition area. The Nexus units were used as house lights as well as creative engagement elements in support of presentations and exhibitions.
Speaking of the three stages, Steve Hubbard, BigFish managing director, noted, "The Ovation fixtures allowed us to create a very visually friendly, supportive environment for the audience, thanks to their even flat field of light and incredible brightness."
Also high on the agenda for the team at BigFish was the need to have a fixture with excellent colour mixing capabilities. Thanks to the RGBA-Lime colour mixing technology incorporated within the Ovation series, the team had a perfect tool to concentrate the festival's stages with inspiring colour.
"Coupled with the even spread of light, I have to give credit to the colour mixing capabilities of the Ovation," said Hubbard. "Although the hues are pretty intense, we concentrated a lot on softer pastel colours on the stages so as to support and not detract from the discussions and speeches."
As for the Nexus fixtures, they excelled as both house lights and eye candy. "The Nexus really played a vital supporting role in the auditorium," Hubbard commented. "The multi sensorial lighting effects were greatly appreciated by the attendees."
The Nexus fixtures also had a vital aesthetic part to play within the exhibition area, providing subtle lighting for various situations
