A mix of Infinity Furion S-401 Spots and Infinity iW-1941 RDM moving heads provided sweeping wash effects for the festival stage
The Netherlands - Oktoberfest Sittard held an open-air Wiesnfest in October to the delight of 18,000 visitors. This annual folk festival welcomed lederhosen-wearing punters who enjoyed mugs of beers, ate bratwursts and saw live performances by Dutch and German artists like Rowwen Hèze, Beppie Kraft and Wir Sind Spitze.
Reflexion Evenemententechniek provided the technical equipment at open-air Wiesnfest, and T.Y.S Entertainment Architects was responsible for the light design throughout the festival, including the installation of an extensive arsenal of Infinity effect lighting and Showtec stage lighting.
Six Infinity Furion S-601 Profile moving heads were used as stage front light. They were an ideal fit with the back effect lighting, consisting of 11 Infinity Furion S-401 Spot and 15 Infinity iW-1941 RDM moving heads. the fixtures share the same CMY+CTO colour mix system and are all equipped with motorized state of art effects and smooth transition between functionalities.
Particular to the Infinity S-601 is extended functionality, such as its four dual axis moving blade system which can be rotated +/-45°. The Infinity S-401 moving heads that have been used are family of the same Infinity Furion Series. They were interspersed with Infinity iW-1941 RDM wash moving heads equipped with 19 40W LEDs and a zoom function that ranges from a wide 60° wash to a tight 3.6° beam effect. To accentuate the highlights of the show with fierce blinder moments, 18 powerful Showtec Blinder Strips (Sunstrip Active MKII) were used. They contain 10 GU10 fittings, each with a 75W halogen light bulb.
Reflexion Evenemententechniek also deployed 32 Showtec Helix S5000 Q4 LED washes as well as 10 Infinity iB-2R moving heads, the latter of which were positioned over the audience to provide additional lighting effects. The Infinity iB-2R is an affordable moving head with eight-facet circular and five-facet linear rotating prisms, 17 metal gobos and 14 dichroic colour filters.
