UK - White Light and the Arcola Theatre supplied low-energy lighting and more to the 2008 Latitude Festival. Having established that a fuel cell and low-energy lighting could be used to great effect in a London fringe theatre, the Arcola team sought to demonstrate that the same approach could be taken in a non-blacked-out tent in daylight in the middle of summer.

In association with London Hydrogen Partnership, Logan Energy and BOC, Arcola powered the festival's Theatre Arena tent using a 5kW Gencore fuel cell. White Light then worked with the Arcola team to provide lighting capable of maximising the available power, the rig including ETC Source Fours fitted with lamps between 375 and 750W, Source Fours fitted with CDM lamps and Chroma-Q Color Blocks which use LED technology.

White Light also worked to maximise the event's overall eco-footprint by re-using equipment rather than purchasing new. As well as lanterns from White Light's rental stock, the Latitude rig was run by long-serving Strand Act6+ dimmers. White Light also supplied Rainbow colour scrollers fitted with the standard White Light colour scroll.
