Lighting designer Frederik Decker, principal of City Light & Sound, choose to focus on the impressive technology involved in the tightly controlled purification process and naturally stayed with a blue colour scheme to match the water theme. Decker, together with local firm Topas Technology, provided a lighting rig of powerful, yet inconspicuous, Litecraft LED fixtures from LMP to provide saturated colour washes and powerful highlights of key technical apparatus without adding much visible equipment.
The production team was initially concerned about a wireless system's ability to cope with the massive steel structures and a myriad of metal pipes, as well as the thick steel reinforced concrete walls, in the facility. The CRMX Nova products were suggested as the solution to this problem.
An extensive CRMX Nova system was put in place to provide DMX distribution throughout the facility without the use of cabling. The system proved it's abilities when the extensive opening ceremony finished without a single problem and with flawless execution in front a discriminating crowd of local and visiting dignitaries.
LMP Lichttechnik, LumenRadio's exclusive distributor in Germany, provided technical and logistical support for the CRMX and Litecraft products.
