Canada - Rapper and pop singer-songwriter Pitbull, a Billboard Latin Music Award winner, has been playing to packed houses on his PlanetPit World Tour 2012 where Clay Paky Sharpy fixtures are in tune with the artist's vibe.

The tour recently concluded a cross-Canada run, will be heading for Europe shortly and plans to return to the US in the fall.

UK - Clay Paky's lighting fixtures are Dancing on Ice at Britain's biggest arenas this spring as the hit ITV show goes on tour. With skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean headlining, the sixth live UK tour of Dancing On Ice is a sell out.

Lighting designer Durham Marenghi has chosen to use Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE and Profile 1500s, Alpha Spot HPE 300s and Alpha Beam 700s to create a dramatically dynamic light show for each skater while a single Sharpy lights the Winner's Trophy throughout.

Sweden - LumenRadio's CRMX technology was recently part of one of the world's largest indoor equestrian sports events; the Gothenburg Horse Show.

The show draws competitors and spectators from all over the world and is held every year in the multi-functional Scandinavium arena. This vast facility has hosted World and European championships in sports as different as ice hockey and swimming.
