Ard Soilse Lights the Kilfenora Ceili Band
Irish lighting rental company Ard Soilse Productions Ltd was hired by the major Irish traditional group the Kilfenora Ceili Band to light their Irish shows for 2010, the most recent of which was at the National Concert Hall in Dublin. The rig designed by Joe Betts featured 14 Elation Design 300E spots and washes as well as 10 Vari*Lite VL2500 spots.
The Elation fixtures were used on the floor, with the spots providing a flower bed effect across the back of the stage, and the washes providing side light and shin busters. The VL2500's were flown on trusses along with several bars of six PARcans.
Joe Betts of Ard Soilse commented: "Im always impressed by the Elations, and this was no exception, their brightness was incredible, and washed out every other fixture in the rig."
Ard Soilse invested heavily in Elation fixtures in 2009, and another expansion of the moving light stock is on the horizon in 2010, with the release of Elation's new Platinum Spot 5R, which uses a platinum bulb, giving more than 300% more brightness than other fixtures in its power category.
Joe Betts commented: "Elation are always pioneering new fixtures, and I am delighted to be involved, and look forward to trying some of their new fixtures out in the field."
