Leading the move into Earls Court 2, which the PLASA Show expanded back in to this year, White Light created more than just a conventional stand: a White Light Zone featuring White Light itself and ELC DMX Tools, LDDE, Look Solutions, LSC, Rainbow, Robert Juliat and Wireless Solutions.
Notable events in the Zone included the launch of the new Robert Juliat Victor 1800W MSR followspot presented by Francois Juliat, and the new Redback dimmer from LSC Lighting presented by LSC's Gary Pritchard. In addition ELC marked the milestone of supplying their 2007th FocusHand/Brain hand-held remote in the year 2007 by presenting the unit to the 2007th customer, Stuart Lodge of Wimbledon High School.
The unit's first customer, the Royal Albert Hall in London, was presented with a complimentary upgrade to the latest specification; this was received from ELC's Silvio Cibein by Ollie Jeffery and Richard Thomas from the Albert Hall.
Wireless Solution also marked the sale of their 10,000th wireless DMX product during the show. LDDE, manufacturer of bespoke dimmable fluorescents and LEDs, also raffled an X-pen DMX tool for every day of the show in a 'lucky business card draw'. Winners ranged from as far a field as Essex and Nigeria.
White Light marked the forthcoming retirement of sales veteran Jack Exell with a presentation by David Morgan and John Simpson.
