Stage Electrics supplies LIPA with LED upgrade
- Details
Lead production technician at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts Matthew Weeks approached the Stage Electrics team about upgrading their existing tungsten lights to LED and enhancing their existing LED rig.
Working closely with Matthew, Matt Jones and Jonathan Thornhill, production technicians at the University, the Stage Electrics team conducted extensive trials with various demo kits from multiple brands. This ensured that the chosen solution would align with LIPA's requirements and performance standards.
LIPA chose an ETC LED lighting rig, consisting of 36 ColorSource V Fresnel lights, 12 ColorSource V Profile 25/50 fixtures, 26 Lustr 2’s, and 1 Gio @ 5 console. The venue, which plays host to a diverse range of productions where flexibility is important, made this decision based on the flexibility offered by this setup.
Matthew Weeks comments, "We reached out to Stage Electrics to start the phased replacement of our tungsten fixtures to new, industry-standard LED lighting. We were provided top-quality products from a supplier who gave us unmatched support, communication, and knowledge. Our sales representative was exceptional from start to finish, and our new system has resulted in multiple benefits, from a smaller footprint of equipment for storage to reduced power usage.
"Many of our new products can also be powered in a daisy chain, reducing cable runs and power circuit requirements. Stage Electrics provided the right products at the right prices, making the process seamless."
For venues looking to upgrade their tungsten lighting to energy-efficient LED rigs, Anna Western, sales director at Stage Electrics, says, “By supplying energy-efficient lighting solutions to customers, Stage Electrics not only makes performance possible but ensures it is sustainable, too.”
