ProLights RA3000 Covers Quincy Jones 85th

ProLights’ new RA3000 high-precision 1000W LED profile luminaires took centre-stage for Quincy Jones – A Life in Song at The O2 in London.

The event featured music and conversation from high-profile artists, accompanied by a 71 piece orchestra, to pay tribute to the iconic American musician and record producer’s career in his 85th birthday year.

Lighting and Production Designer, Ben M. Rogers needed a powerful, precise and flexible moving LED Profile to create the perfect look for each song. Just 3 Prolights RA3000 delivered all the key light for the soloists, with temperature corrected front light from the variable CTO to match the live camera needs. A further 9 fixtures were deployed to provide backlight to frame the soloists with huge output, stunning saturated colours, beautiful pastels and high-precision whites, with crisp gobos layered over sharp shutter cuts right through the massive zoom range.

Rogers commented: “Having trialled the units in a demo room it was great to put them through their paces on this high profile event. They delivered at every level with an exceptional brightness, great zoom, accurate framing, clean and flat gobo rendition and excellent colour mixing. For a show without followspots we had to rely on these for key light and they delivered above and beyond – for the audience and through the lenses of the live camera and press teams.”
