Greece - Martin Professional's MAC 2000 Wash will be the main washlight fixture to be used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. On 13 August 2004, the eyes of the world will be fixed on the Olympic Stadium, where a total of 650 MAC 2000 Wash lights will be used as an integral element of the opening show. The Martin fixtures will be supplied through Hamburg-based Procon MultiMedia AG, who has teamed up with other large rental companies in order to supply a complete and comprehensive lighting package, as required by American lighting designer Bob Dickinson.

Combined with other lighting effects, the opening and closing ceremonies are certain to be a huge spectacle, with some four billion people expected to watch the event. The event producer is Jack Morton.
