The Time Lab at Parookaville
Germany - The 2019 edition of Parookaville featured an impressive number of CLF fixtures. The festival attracted 210,000 attendees and took place at Airport Weeze, with CLF fixtures used in the Time Lab, Wacky Shack, Brainwash and in all the sales outlets throughout the festival area. Rent-All GmbH supplied over 700 fixtures.
LD Janik Hensen (Dekor Event) took care of the lighting design, including the Time Lab, based on a stage design by Stefan Dicks and a lighting concept by Robert Sommer. In addition, his company took care of the site layout, production and material planning. In the Time Lab, Aorun were used as the main fixtures, accompanied by the LEDbar PRO as a continuation of the LED surfaces.
CLF Conan fixtures were used as washlight, because of their zoom function. All fixtures had to be lightweight, since the load capacity of the roof was limited. On top of the round bunker structure, Orion hybrids functioned as sky beams.
Janik Hensen explains: “Thomas Koppers and I have set two stages exclusively on CLF fixtures. The many effect variations, the fast movements and the creative product approaches convinced us. But the reliability and outstanding rental availability were also important. All in all, the complete package was there. Especially worth mentioning is the LEDbar PRO is, it’s a multifunctional talent among the outdoor LED bars.”
The Wacky Shack area was also fully equipped with CLF fixtures. Additionally, a large number of Yara, Hera and Ares fixtures were used as ambient lighting. “All fixtures endured three weeks of rough festival conditions with dust, storm, extreme heat and colour powder parties, but we didn’t have a single technical failure from over 700 fixtures”, says Hensen.
