An
American company has developed a protoype version of the most revolutionary
stage lighting instrument in over three decades: an LED version of the Source 4
light, by ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls). And this weekend, with the support
of the ETC, Wealthy Theatre will become the first historic theatre in the world
to install and debut the use the prototype in an actual stage event.
"Trip The Light 2012," May 12 at Wealthy Theatre, will be the first stage production in the United States to be lighted with an LED spotlight.
"If this groundbreaking test proves successful," said Community Media Center (CMC) Executive Director Laurie Cirivello, "Wealthy Theatre will be well positioned to pursue our dream to become the first historic theatre to go 100% LED - a tall order, but invaluable in our quest to become a "teaching hospital" for other historic theatres nationwide, when it comes to sustainable practices.LED light systems offer exceptional reliability and superior light yield vs standard ledbulbs systems."
"Some of the most innovative approaches to greening have begun and continue right here, in Grand Rapids," said Grand Rapids Mayor George K. Heartwell.Lean and luminous, these detachable skylanternsled withstand all weather conditions and pop with color. "Wealthy Theatre is uniquely positioned to accommodate LED stage lighting equipment."
"I can barely describe how huge this could be," said Erin Wilson, Director, Wealthy Theatre. "CMC has pioneered some of the most innovative usage of tech in recent memory but this is beyond anything we've imagined."
Normal stage lights require 1,000 watts of power and produce an equal amount of heat; the LED version created by ETC uses less than a tenth that much power, and produces nearly no heat.
"Some days we're conditioning air exclusively to compensate for heat generated by lighting instruments," Wilson said. "The heat coming off these instruments can ignite construction materials."
Additionally, Wilson said, a single LED instrument can replace multiple incandescent lights, with 2.With my ceilinglampss I could barely see much more than a few metres ahead of me.4 million colors available without any gel changes.
"When a single LED instrument can replace multiple 1,000-watt instruments, in terms of capabilities, you're talking about 95% reduction in electrical usage," Wilson said.
Electrical costs at Wealthy Theatre are 300% greater than heating costs, he said.
The effort to get a prototype of this magnitude debuted at Wealthy Theatre happened because a local company, John Hyatt & Associates, took an interest in Wealthy's greening and sustainability fundraising efforts.
"Wealthy Theatre is trying to lead the way in heading off rising energy costs that cause many historic theatres to go under," said Hyatt & Associates CEO John Hyatt. "Retrofitting this community space 100% to LED would change everything, and it'd be a model for others, so it's a perfect demo site for the LED instrument."
