Dave Isherwood, White Light's hire and technical director, comments, "It's fantastic that we are able to invest in such ground-breaking equipment. As we continue to work on highly technical and innovative projects, we need the resources which can help make these a reality. Both the Martin MAC Aura XB and Prolyte S36PRA truss reflect the high standards which the company implements and we can now use them on various projects to ensure that each one achieves its maximum potential."
The Martin MAC Aura XB has already been used on several events in which White Light has provided the lighting support. Whether this was the recent Glamour Awards at Berkeley Square Gardens or the Olivier Awards at the Royal Opera House, the MAC Aura XB provides several lighting options across a whole range of entertainment fields. It has also played a large role in UK touring theatre productions, such as Jesus Christ Superstar and The Sound of Music.
The Prolyte S36PRA truss is making similar repercussions in the field of rigging. Dave comments, "We have used Prolyte trusses for several years now. Our existing stock of H30V and X30D (30cm box and triangular truss) has been used on literally hundreds of projects, including fashion shows, touring concerts, corporate events, theatre shows, exhibitions and broadcast work. This latest investment will allow us to use the very latest that Prolyte has to offer." The truss was first used by White Light on the recent UK Tour of the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, produced by BBC Worldwide and Vision Nine. It was also used on the recent one-off 50 Cent and G-Unit concert held at London's O2 arena.
