UK-Syncrolite has three major systems in action at the Olympic Games in London.
(The first system-Olympic Ceremonies-features curved lighting poles that extend over the edge of the playing field.They hold the Syncrolites,FOP lights and some smaller moving heads).Patrick Woodroffe is the LD.
Forty SXL(four each on 10 of the 14'paddles')are flown head down to light the Opening Ceremonies stages and action doing many jobs from long-throw,cross-fading washes to our big beams,motion FX and ballyhoos.This system replacies the work of over 400 regular moving heads."Due to the extraordinary output(350,000 lumens)of our Syncrolite SXL fixtures,the efficiency and powerful looks are unparalleled.We believe the combination of our Syncrolite and ArenaColor is the future of major stadium permanent installations,"says the company.
Fifty-four ArenaColors are flown on back of each paddle(four for each of 14 paddles).These are focused away from the FOP onto the upper exterior ring of the Stadium.These units allow colour changing and wash on a very large area.
The Olympic Stadium system-Syncrolite is lighting the entire exterior of the Olympic Stadium with only 40 Syncrolite XL 8000W fixtures.These units are two each on 20 towers spaced around the exterior and shoot approximately 150ft to the stadium wrap surface using OmniColor technology and Micro Lens Arrays.
The third system has 72 of the GE version of the ArenaColor lighting the exterior of the Olympics Field Hockey Stadium.
