The Shining Light at Number 10

The Selecon presence at PLASA 2006 kicked off in true 'kiwi' style with a fabulous pre-show dinner party held in the Penthouse on the 18th floor of New Zealand House in Haymarket on Saturday night. Attending the event were several Selecon staff who made the trip to London from various parts of the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and home base providing the hospitality for a mix of over 100 dealers, lighting designers, technicians, venue managers and industry professionals from around the world.

The food and wine was excellent, as was the entertainment which ranged from a Maori concert party greeting, a Dixie band and Turkish belly dancers with many guests also showing interest in another attraction - the Rua 9-16 from the Selecon Performer Series of followspots.

Plugged into the nearest domestic power point the Rua took no prisoners in showing just how powerful a beam it can provide by lighting up various landmarks and icons such as Big Ben at a distance of 900 metres away and the London Eye at 964 metres! However, the line had to be drawn when two members of Prime Minister, Tony Blair's armed diplomatic police squad arrived complete with flak jackets and sub machine guns to enquire as to who, how and what was lighting up the garden at Number 10 Downing Street (515 metres).

Selecon sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused to the residents of greater London by the bright light dancing around their city on the 9th September 2006 but make no apologies for the performance, light output and efficiency delivered by the Performer Range of followspots! “That's something that everyone will have to get used to,” said a spokesman.
