Recent Projects - HSL Larges it for the Weekend

HSL supplied over 40 Robe moving lights to LD Nick Jevons of Electric Fly Productions for the main stage of Radio One's Big Weekend in Dundee.

Headlining artists included Razorlight, The Streets, The Editors, Muse, Snow Patrol, Mylo, Pink, Keane and the Sugababes. For the first time, the event was recorded for broadcast on the digital channel, BBC 3.

The fixtures – 18 ColorWash 1200s and 20 ColorSpot 1200s – were arranged across three onstage trusses – four of each type of luminaire per truss – and along the top of two audience 'goal post' trussing structures. Another six 'special' CS 1200s were made available on the floor for the headlining acts.

It was the first time that Jevons has used Robe which he found "Very bright and powerful and everything you would expect from a top rated moving light".

Jevons controlled the lighting – which included a large generic rig – from an Avolites Diamond 4, and XL Video supplied over 7000 Barco Mi-Spheres which were run from an Avolites Pearl.

Date of issue: May 2006
