The theme of this year's show was "Driving Tomorrow! - from Tokyo" with over 1.5m visitors taking in the sights and sounds of the industry's most advanced technologies and designs.
Motor shows mean prodigious amounts of lighting, and the Tokyo Motor Show, with its 40,000sq.m of space, was no exception. Countless numbers of lighting fixtures were incorporated into exhibits from more than 200 companies, including 264 Martin products for exhibits by Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors, Volkswagen, and others.
At the Toyota exhibit MAC 2000 Performances were painted silver-white to match the ceiling, truss, and walls while Alien O2 color changers were painted black to blend with adjacent black walls and truss.
Mazda, Daihatsu, Honda and Volkswagen exhibits all incorporated MAC 2000 Profiles while the Mazda stand also used MAC 2000 Wash and Atomic 3000 strobes for fabulous effects. Mitsubishi and Suzuki added color to their shows using MAC 300 washlights, MAC 500E profile spots, and MAC 600E washlights.
