Mexico - Ganesha Producciones is one of the latest rental and production companies in Mexico to invest in Robe Spiider LED wash beams, which were recently delivered by distributor Showco and much anticipated by owner Gerardo Hernández and his team.
The company was founded in 1996 by Gerardo and is based in central Mexico City. They are involved in technical production for many prestigious cultural events including government organised and sponsored shows and expositions, and also supply lighting, video and sound to corporates, music concerts and other shows. The company also has an architectural lighting division.
Gerardo has kept Ganesha tightly focussed on its core business. There are currently 20 full-time employees and they work with up to 80 regular freelance designers and technicians during the busy periods.
Gerardo has been a loyal Showco client for some time and commented, “We needed an LED wash light and apart from the fact that the Spiider is the best one available at the moment, we really wanted the superlative service I know we could rely on from Showco.”
As well as owning the company, he’s fully hands-on, and keeps a keen eye on all the projects and productions.
“The Spiiders really are a next generation of LED wash moving light. The intensity is fantastic, it can be a wash or a beam light, the central LED is a fresh and interesting effect and the ring control and individually mappable LEDs add even more options. So that gives it a lot more value than a fixture that does just one thing!”
He speaks from good experience as the company has had direct experience with several other types of moving lights over the years including competitor brands.
The 24 new Ganesha Spiiders went straight to work on several cultural shows and concerts where they have immediately been impressing their clients and crews alike.
They lit a production for the famous Ballet Folklórico de México, an acclaimed Mexican folkloric ballet ensemble based in Mexico City, where they provided elegant and rich stage coverage, and by complete contrast, they shone through at a concert by raeggaeton star, J Balvin.
