France - French audio visual company, Lumison, reports a "spectacular" first half to 2005 with a plethora of high profile events featuring Lighthouse LED screens. These include corporate functions for major banking institution BNP Parisbas and French television producers union Espace Clacquesin, plus a fashion show in the Lagerfeld Gallery of the Paris Carrousel Du Louvres.

BNP Parisbas holds its annual conference at the Palais Des Congres De Paris each year for 5,000 of its employees. For this year's event, Lumison supplied 50 panels of Lighthouse R10 10mm pixel pitch LED video screen strategically positioned to provide an eye-catching effect.

"The set was quite unusual looking," explains Lumison's CEO and owner Pierre Heyligen. "We stacked LED panels on the stage in a variety of configurations - as single panel, 2x2 panel, 4x4 panel and 4x6 panel screens - to create a very appealing result." Another R10 screen, measuring 36x10m. was flown at the back of the stage to show footage of the presenters.

For Espace Clacquesin in Paris, hosted by 'La Compagnie Des Realisateurs' - a French union for independent television producers and directors - a screen was placed at either end of a central stage and Lumison deployed 7x7 panels (8.96 x 6.72m) of Lighthouse 20mm screen positioned at one end of the room, with another 7x7 panels (4.48 x 3.36m) of R10 screen hung centrally, 550mm in front of the first screen, to create a feeling of visual depth. The screen at the opposite end of the stage was a further 36 panels of 20mm in three 2x6 panel configurations.

For the fashion show at the Lagerfeld Gallery, Lumison used a total of 70 panels of Lighthouse 20mm pixel pitch LED screen at the start of the catwalk. Comprising a central 7x6 panels (8.96 x 5.76m) at the rear, another 3x6 panels ( 3.84 x 5.76m) sat centrally and one metre in the front of the first to create a chicane for the models to walk through before reaching the catwalk.
