These are just two of the many innovative developments that bridge the gap between the lighting and video departments. ETA is currently using Neon Flex as part of the set on current and upcoming projects, and there are many ways to implement this product into just about any event. This product is capable of having individual pixel control, which means it can be used with custom video content. Neon Flex is more durable than its predecessor and, most importantly, it creates seamless lines of color without the breakup of individual LED cells in LED tape.

Neon Flex is an update to the widely-used LED tape that swept the production industry and has become an accessible house hold item. The second fixture in this highlight of recent trends is a product called Neon Flex. These hybrid fixtures can be used in a set, along with traditional LED wall panels to create more of an interaction between the audience and the content. Imagine an LED wall that can come to life and create movement and energy in a room.

It has full pan and can endlessly tilt between the two panels.
This fixture is dual sided, on one side it can display high definition video images and 3D volumetric lighting effects and on the other it displays an 8×8, high intensity LED pixel matrix. First, the French company, Ayrton, who specialize in LED lighting with a focus on digital lighting and innovation, have released the Dreampanel Twin. With all of this in mind, I’d like to spotlight two fixtures that bridge the gap between lighting and video. The line between video and lighting is blurry at times, often lighting can trigger video and vice versa, but overall the trend is to create custom content that flows together and makes an event feel more like a “happening.” LED walls have become commonplace in the corporate event space, and they are used both by the video department in place of projection screens (removing some of the obstacles that projection creates) and they are used by the lighting department to enrich the overall look of a set. Allowing a lighting designer the ability to often times double the number of fixtures in a room, which in turn creates a more theatrical and cohesive feeling to the overall perspective of an event. But, how does this effect the production industry and what does it mean to your event? The combined affordability and availability of brilliant LED lighting fixtures has allowed for bigger “looks” in more budget settings. It’s no secret that with advances in technology and increases in production, LED has become affordable and it’s uses are wide.

Thanks to a generous donation by ETC, the lab is equipped with a significant inventory of incandescent and LED Lekos and Pars, along with a stock of other incandescent fixtures representing the inventories found in our other theatres. The system is controlled by an ETC ION with a fader wing, running a 48-Dimmer ETC Rack. There are traveller tracks with a cyc, a scrim, and a drop, along with a fixed RP screen. The lab is equipped with a 19’ x 19’ flying truss grid, mobile truss booms, a ground row and an FOH position. Seating 25, with ADA access, the Light Lab serves as the primary classroom, lab, and research facility for the School of Theatre’s Lighting Design concentration.
