For the realization of the concert of pop and rock music Wango Tango, organized by the Californian station Kiis FM, Platinum SBX moving heads were used, BX and Beam 5R Extreme, as well as the Led Protron 3K strobe from Elation Professional.
Wango Tango is a pop and rock music concert by the Radio Station Kiis FM in Los Angeles (California) organizes every year. This year's edition was held at the StubHub Center, an outdoor venue known for hosting the LA Galaxy team's football matches, and featured performances by well-known artists such as Kanye West, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Jason Derulo and Ne-Yo.
The company Visions Lighting has been in charge of carrying out the assembly of lighting and video, as well as the structures of the main stage, and for this he used the technology of Elation Professional, distributing Visuals, as the Platinum SBX moving heads, Platinum BX and Platinum Beam 5R Extreme and Protron 3K Led Strobe.
"Wango Tango features the performances of many pop-style artists, those who like spectacular lighting and Beam effects. The Elation Platinum SBX and Platinum BX are very suitable for this type of event. They are two very recent launch devices and their construction and operation is very reliable", comments Todd Roberts, of Visions Lighting and responsible for the lighting assembly of the show.
The Elation Platinum SBX units were used to perform the aerial tracer effects and the Platinum BX was placed behind the scenes., providing Spot and Beam lighting effects. Both moving heads integrate the lamp Philips MSD Platinum 17RA 350-watt power and 20.000 lumens of luminosity.
Platinum SBX moving head uses a hybrid optical system that provides a Beam-like beam, Spot and Wash; while the Platinum BX offers a bright Beam beam with an aperture of 3 Degrees.
"Platinum SBX offers a great zoom tour, from a Beam effect to a Spot mode. They are very bright and move fast. For its part, the Beam Platinum BX heads bring incredible luminosity", explains Brandon Dunning, Technical Manager of Moving Heads of Visions Lighting.
On both sides of the main stage of the Wango Tango show were positioned numerous units of the High Power Led Strobe Elation Protron 3K, which provides a luminosity of 80.000 Lumens, with a much lower energy consumption than the traditional strobes with Xenon lamp 3.000 Watts.
"The Elation Protron 3K is a very powerful Led strobe. It's the first time we're using them in an outdoor event and they're giving me a lot of resources.", clarifies Todd Roberts.
