Back in December, Richard Martin Lighting purchased 100 Clay Paky Sharpys. Lighting designer Lee Allen, who is continuously striving to bring a fresh and energetic look to the ever more contemporary show, used 50 of them on Diversity's performance to bring "a very strong statement look to the urban dance troupe".
"The light output from such a small package is amazing," says Allen. "The fast speed of movement was breathtaking. The lamps were small and discrete enough not to draw the eye in the set, but the event they produced was gigantic."
Blue Peter is now being filmed from Media City, Salford.
