Ayrton Ghibli LED spot shone over Las Palmas, Grand Canaria, delivering bright colours and textures to complement various musical acts.
Under the control of Lighting Designer Jonay Díaz, and with the production by L.F. Sound S.L., a significant number of Ghibli fixtures were used to project large gobo images onto the facade of the historic Casas Consistoriales building (which was used as a backdrop for artists such as Latonius), the Banda Sinfónica Municipal of Las Palmas, and the school Enseñanzas Artísticas Alexia Rodríguez.
Ghibli is currently one of the most popular fixtures in use in Spain thanks to its power and versatility, with a presence in several high-profile shows, such as the current musical production of West Side Story at the Teatro Calderón, or installed in historical venues such as the Teatro Real in Madrid. It is Ayrton’s first LED fixture with framing capabilities.
Ghibli’s features include a CMY colour mixing system combined with a variable CTO and a six-position complementary colour wheel, which produce a multitude of pastels and saturated colours that will delight any lighting designer. Its 23,000-lumen output and 7º and 56º zoom makes Ghibli the perfect moving head for use in large outdoor spaces, as in this case, and in any medium to large venues, and a winning choice for theatre and other classical types of spectacle – anywhere where superb light-framing is required.
“Ghibli’s selection of gobos are capable of illuminating large surfaces with different textures and colours, creating highly dynamic spaces, such as the facade of the Town Hall, on the Plaza of Santa Ana, which was dyed with vivid shapes and colours throughout the show to serve as background to the various performances,” says Miguel Ángel Valera, brand manager for Ayrton at Stonex, Ayrton’s official distributor in Spain. “The celebration that started Christmas in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was possible thanks to the work of the Municipal Symphonic Band of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Artistic Teaching Alexia Rodríguez, Latonius and of course thanks to L.F. Sound.”
