Erina’s EV Church on the Central Coast has recently completed building a new auditorium with Lots of Watts Central Coast supplying their lighting requirements.
A key instrument of the new rig are ten LED PIXPAR consisting of 18 TRI-COLOUR 3-in-1 3Watt LEDs. The LED PIXPARs were chosen as they have a narrower beam which was important due to the projection screens being very close to the edge of stage.
Adrian Tyndal, the Church’s inhouse technician, had used these fixtures before on a hire basis and had been impressed by the PIXPAR’s colours as well as their spread and pattern.
“We never had any issues with them and they always worked flawlessly,” he reported. “We found them to be a really good product at a reasonable price.”
A MA Lighting MA on PC command wing was chosen for control as it was a cost effective way of getting up to par with an industry standard console with the ability to expand in all directions of lighting and media.
“We’ve used MA Lighting products before and several of the guys on our team are used to using them,” said Adrian. “The MA on PC command wing gives us the ability to do more in less space and we’re able to take it to different venues as it is so portable.
“We’re still running the MA on PC command wing in quite a basic mode but plan in the next few months to expand its’ abilities quite significantly especially as we hire in moving lights.”
Global Truss F33 truss was installed and although the front truss is relatively short, the rigging points are all lined up so a truss grid can be made off stage or on stage for any future needs. This was important as the ceiling is completely soundproofed and no access is available in the future.
