Marian Sandberg, Content Director of Live Design, explained the reasons for the award: "The B-Eye is an innovative LED fixture that works as a wash, beam and effect light. It can switch from a diffuse wash to parallel beams, and features individual LED control enabling controllable microbeams. Adding colors and moving patterns, it generates countless kaleidoscopic projections."
Clay Paky's Francesco Romangnoli and ACT Lighting's Bob Gordon, Brian Dowd and George Masek took the stage to receive the award. Francesco Romagnoli's said at the event: "Our thanks go to LDI, to our US partner and to our friends at ACT Lighting. This Award is for our R&D Department. There are twenty five people who work every day in Clay Paky to bring new products and new ideas to the market, with the aim of being innovative. When you choose a product to buy, buy the product you like, buy from the manufacturer you prefer to buy from, but please buy originals, not copies!"
Bob Gordon, ACT Lighting's CEO, was brief but effective: "[The A.leda B-EYE] is so damn cool!"
"We therefore expect a very bright future for this light, which is radically changing the way we perceive and interpret LED show lighting," concludes Clay Paky.
