A spectacular light show made entirely with DTS
moving heads, last December 2nd, was the peak of the celebrations of
the 40th \’National Day\’ of Laos.
The \’National Day\’ is the most important event in
the country, in commemoration of the abolition of the monarchy and the
proclamation of the Democratic Republic of Laos.
The lighting system, installed by the rental
company ProPacific (Thailand) Co., included 200 x RAPTOR moving heads, 40 x
XR1200 WASH, and 60 x XR3000 SPOT. The ceremony was held at the ‘Laos National
Stadium’ of Vientane, on December 2nd.
Karin Chaisompongpan, LD of \’National Day\’, has
divided the stage in 4 areas: Back, Front, Right, Left, each with a different
setup.
Back
lighting:
3 horizontal truss, 30m long; 10 x XR3000 SPOT and 4 x XR1200 WASH each.
48 x RAPTOR hanging from the catwalk bridge that
overlooks the stands.
42 x RAPTOR on a structure 21m long and 2m high, at
ground level.
14 x RAPTOR attached to two flag poles above the
stands.

8 x RAPTOR each.
Karin Chaisompongpan, LD of ‘National Day\’ said: “From
my experience using DTS products for this event I was quite impressed by the
reliable performance of the Raptors and also by the light quality of it\’s beam.
It\’s really bright enough to light the football field from over 80 m. throw
distance. Also gives impressive stunning aerial looks when pointed up to the
sky.
Thanks to Showtec Group Singapore who sent talented
technicians to do technical supports and maintenance on the fixtures from the setup
period to show day. Which made the show really smooth and successful.
If any events like this will come, I have
confidence to use the DTS products for my show again.”
