Scorpions Use PR Lighting XL 700's in Minsk
Belarus-based distributors, FE Belimlight supported famous German band The Scorpions recently when their Humanity World Tour played in front of 7,000 people at the Sport Arena in Minsk.
Lighting technician Ilya Piotrovsky said that in contracting FE Belimlight, the promoters were seeking a service company with a good reputation and list of complex production credits under their belt. Working with the Scorpions LD, Rainer Becker, Ilya helped design the show around eight of PR Lighting's popular XL Wash 700, eight XL 700 and 72 Pro Par's.
"The main idea was to select fixtures that could implement fast and precise changes," said Ilya. "The XL spot and wash lights were used right across the stage while the Pro Pars were clamped onto the front, side and back trusses." These central effect were complemented by conventional PAR 64's.
The lighting was controlled from a Hog iPC desk, with a Coolux Pandora Box media server driving the LED screens.
The XL 700's proved a hit with Rainer Becker in view of their fast movement and colour mixing speed. "This was a very interesting show in terms of the lighting ideas, and the way in which the stage was designed," summarised Ilya Piotrovsky.
