Published: ASIA
CHINA: Lighting Designer Sha Xiao Lan incorporated 400 Platinum BX beam and SBX moving heads from Elation Professional into the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing. The production company for the event was Beijing Fengshang Shiji Culture Art Co., Ltd.
Held at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center and televised around the globe, Sha Xiao Lan created a number of spectacular looks including one in which he placed 20 Platinum BX units in a huge scenic telescope, which illuminated the night sky. The Platinum BX combines new lamp technology from a Philips MSD Platinum 17RA 350W lamp with a new optical system to power out over 15,000 lumens along a 2.5-degree beam.
Positioned throughout the stadium and used to light the huge performance area was the new Platinum SBX, a 20,000 lumens luminaire that can be used as a beam, spot, or wash fixture. Also housing the Philips MSD Platinum 17RA 350W lamp and new optics, the Platinum SBX includes a zoom that allows it to adjust from a beam to a wash, along with a variety of colour and gobo projection options.
