UK - In recent months, Reading-based Martin's Lights have used Coemar ProSpot 250LX moving heads on a variety of events. LD Dom Smith used the fixtures on tours with Aqualung and The Cooper Temple Clause, while the units also lit Athlete's London show at the Astoria, run from the in-house Avo Sapphire 2000, with the Coemars patched into the desk along with the house lighting system.

ProSpot 250LX heads were also in action at the National Dancesports Championships at Crystal Palace, Summer Balls at the University of Westminster and Reading University, and also Supergrass at Reading University (LD Ali Bale).

Most recently the fixtures illuminated the Club WOMAD stage at the WOMAD Festival in Rivermead, Reading. This was a co-design between principal lighting designer Geoff Blindt of Mystic Lights and Martin Dudley of Martin's Lights, who was also charged with making the design work from a technical perspective. Six ProSpot 250LXs were suspended from a semi-circular upright truss onstage with the final two mounted on boxes on the stage. The entire show was run from an Avolites Pearl 2000, which runs most of Martin's Lights bigger events.
