SGM luminaires at Deep South Productions
- Details
“I have been using SGM products since 1996 and had a bunch of Giottos and Flashers. When we needed to move towards LED, we became very enthusiastic about these products,” says Rich Barrett, head lighting designer and programmer of Deep South Productions.
Products available for rent include G-Spot, G-Wash, Q-7, X-5, G-1 Beam, and G-1 Wash with the option of being battery-driven. With this wide range of fixtures and a stockholding of nearly 200 units, end-users with projects of any size and for any occasion will be well-equipped through Deep South Productions.
All SGM fixtures are IP65/66 rated and fully weatherproof. With the capability to combat the heat, humidity, rain, and dust while running at the highest performance, SGM utilizes a patented dehumidifier technology to outlast any season or storm. These LED fixtures also output extremely bright, yet saturated colours, for an impactful display while maintaining low power consumption.
“We never considered doing festivals prior to purchasing SGM products. Our whole philosophy for doing shows has changed 180 degrees. Now we have a chance to make a change. Having fixtures that work in rain or shine is invaluable and extremely powerful,” claims Barrett.
This summer, Deep South Productions provided 12 SGM G-1 Wash moving head fixtures to use for a temporary install. Performing at the H2O Pool and Bar Concert Venue at Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino alongside artists such as Hank Williams, Lee Brice, Jason Derulo, Flo Rida and more, the G-1 Wash stood up against all elements.
Barrett state:, “We needed to find a fixture that was waterproof and easily movable. We had experimented a lot with the G-1 Wash to see what it could do. The DMX is very solid and strong. It’s a reliable tool and differential to others.
“For the H2O Concert Series, we used eight downstage, two for mid stage backlight and two upstage for backlight and the drummer position. The G-1 Wash is a powerful accent tool to go along with the rest of the SGM products on the H2O lighting rig. They’re a great highlight fixture and are providing the main horsepower or this show. They’re perfect. We need more,” Barrett concludes.
