Luminus Devices’s CBM-380-RGBW PhlatLight LEDs were used inside Vari*Lite’s VLX Wash Luminaires to light up the stage for Arcade Fire’s recent live HD webcast concert from Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City.
Lighting designer Susanne Sasic used 40 VLX Wash Luminaries to assist the Canadian indie rock band to light the band at MSG.
Seven, replaceable custom PhlatLight CBM-380-RGBW LEDs consist the heart of the Vari*Lite VLX Wash Luminaire. The system has been optimized to deliver a total light output of 14,000 white lumens with an LED lifetime of at least 10,000 hours at maximum output.
According to Don McDaniel, director, global entertainment, Luminus, “The Luminus ‘big-chip’ LED and the VLX architecture were made for each other, and the resulting Wash Luminaires popularity with lighting designers is a testament to punch and color uniformity previously available only from discharge lamp fixtures.”
Big-chip Luminus LEDs can supply a wide range of applications such as architectural, entertainment, retail, residential, roadways, industrial high-bay lighting, digital displays and signage and UV for industrial processing.
