The festival ran from the 13 to the 19 March at venues across London including the Roundhouse and art deco Troxy. Now in its third year, Convergence spans different genres of music and celebrates visual artists and pioneering technology.
Lighting designer Mark Wynn-Edwards, who has worked with the band for nearly two years, specified 11 of the new moving lights to add super bright beam effects to his stripped back design.
"My concept for Lamb is always less is more, playing with black and white and minimalist looks," explains Wynn-Edwards. "When the opportunity came to preview the Philips Showline SL Hydrus 350 before it hits the market I jumped at the chance, especially since the festival embraces new technology."
The Philips Showline SL Hydrus 350 is a multi-featured LED luminaire that is ideal for the live event and TV market because of its small size and speed.
"The SL Hydrus 350's beam and output is awesome," continues Wynn-Edwards. "I also like that you can go from a tight gobo look, to a wide saturated wash and back to the tight beam in an instant. A whole rig doing that simultaneously would make for a really amazing effect. It's like three lights in one, which is very clever."
The Philips Showline SL Hydrus 350 launches officially this week at Prolight+Sound Frankfurt on the Philips Entertainment stand C60 in Hall 3.0.
