Medieval Times attraction in Buena Park, California has upgraded its show lighting with the latest LED fixtures from Signify’s Entertainment Lighting portfolio. The new lighting, which delivers greatly improved performance and power efficiency, is being adopted by all ten Medieval Times venues in North America.
Lighting designer Marty Huntoon of installer All Pro Integrated Systems specified the new Vari-Lite VLZ PROFILE, plus the SL PUNCHLITE 220 and SL LEDSPOT 300 fixtures from the Showline range. He says, “The SL Punchlite 220 was a simple replacement for the PAR lanterns, giving huge improvements in output, power efficiency, programming options and reliability. The motorized zoom capability was also a factor. Add to that the fixture’s IP65 protection rating in a hostile, dusty environment and the 220 was the only choice.”
Huntoon also chose the VLZ PROFILEs with their “amazing optics and high performance LED engine” to provide dynamic effects projection for the equestrian demonstrations, and to light the Awards Ceremony. “They give exceptional performance and ease of use,” he says.
Further dynamic effects and cross-wash lighting over the arena are provided by SL LED SPOT 300 fixtures. Huntoon says, “I’ve been very impressed with the performance of the LEDSpots. They provide colors and graphics consistent with the VLZ luminaires and they are great value for money.”
Martin Palmer, Philips Vari-Lite and Showline Product Manager for Signify, says, “The high output, versatility and color consistency across these fixtures, plus the advantages of power efficiency and low maintenance, make them an attractive option for show environments of this kind. We are delighted to be able to support Marty and the Medieval Times venues with lighting instruments that deliver such benefits.”
