Event Lighting in Cambridge

Posted on 8th October 202212th November 2024 by lssadmin

In October 2022 we were invited to provide exterior lighting for the Anglian Learning Trust at one of their school’s open evenings. This required a quick setup after the school day but before members of the public were due on site.

A set of Prolights StudioCOB FC fixtures were used to light the Atrium’s metalwork in the school’s red colour.

Versatile LEDJ Rapid battery uplighters were used outside to illuminate the main walkway to the building, with IP rated LED flood lighting used to light up another teaching block.

For a change of scene, energy efficient LED festoon was used to add a warm glow to another courtyard area.

Chesterton Community College

We were invited to supply a small package of lighting to our friends at Chesterton Community College in Cambridge this week. This was to add some accent lighting to two areas for their open evening.

We provided a set of 750w ETC Source 4 profile lanterns to provide a gobo wash over an outdoor performance area, and another set of Prolights StudioCOB FC fixtures for ambient lighting in a performance area.

During the day we also supported their drama department with a quick service of their lighting rig in their black box studio, with all lanterns back in service after some lamp changes.
