Listed in the official World Surf League (WSF) calendar, this competition sees 12 of the best professional surfers duke it out by night under the light of gigantic Airstar balloons. Equipped with LED-lined surfboards (lumiboard), the riders compete for this coveted League trophy and put on a real show with daring tricks.
This event is made possible thanks to the Anglet city hall which organises this event in cooperation with regular partners and service providers, without the help of a specialist company.

Having taken delivery of an initial consignment of the Chroma-Q Space Force earlier in the year, client demand for these versatile, powerful LED soft lights has warranted further investment by Aurora Lighting in an additional batch of fixtures making the company home to of one of the UKs largest hire stocks.
Aurora's purchase of these fixtures is a direct response to a recent surge in demand for low energy products. Capable and reliable, the Space Force is proving to be an excellent example of how new technologies are being used to exceed the capabilities of more traditional solutions.
Proven as a viable alternative to conventional soft sources, Aurora has provided lighting designers with the Space Force on a d
This follows a week after Pearce Hire's participation at the first Production Futures event, a collaboration between TPI Magazine and Production Park where the event took place.
"Production Futures and the TPI Breakthrough Talent Awards provided an excellent platform to engage with the next generation of technicians and designers for our industry. And we were delighted to have met some students who would be suitable candidates for our intern programme," observes Shaun Pearce, MD Pearce Hire.
"But obviously equally important is nurturing our existing business and making sure we continue to deliver for our current client base, whilst engaging with any new business opportunities for next year. That is what Showman's Show offers us - the
Part of the TED Talk series, this annual event is dedicated to exposing people to the widest possible range of thought-provoking ideas. The 18 TEDx New York talks were kept relatively short (under 18 minutes) to make them readily accessible to a large audience.
TEDx organizers also made the talks highly entertaining by retaining engaging speakers and creating a warm atmosphere throughout the venue. Contributing to the latter was an inviting lighting design from Emergency Production that featured

With a set list that features the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist performing Pet Sounds in its entirety with band member Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin (along with other selections from the illustrious careers of the Beach Boys and Wilson), the tour announced it will be continuing into 2017.
Lighting designer Chris Stuba, who refers to working with Brian Wilson and the band as "one of the most rewarding and greatest experiences", created a design reminiscent of a 1960s variety show, complete with a 12-piece band.
The versatile, compact rig allows Stuba to keep even light levels for the dozen performers, while still applying looks that fit the mood of the m
The LED screen was specified by video and visuals designer Ian Holmes of Essex, UK based XIVIX, having used it very successfully on previous tours.
It's the second tour for which he has co-ordinated the video elements for 10cc, where he is again collaborating very closely with lighting designer Russell 'Tigger' Matthews - they have also previously worked together on the Genesis Revisited European tour by Steve Hackett throughout 2013 and "make a good team" says Ian.

The architecturally futuristic Wolkenturm's open-air stage is akin to an almost startlingly modern giant sculpture, nestled in the beautiful landscaped park of Austria's 700-year old Grafenegg Castle.
The ultra-modern stage, designed by architects the next ENTERprise, blends with the romance of its surroundings and, built in a natural hollow, reaches some 15-metres to the height of the treetops. The terraced seating for an audience of 1700 and adjacent lawn areas for a further 300 already enjoy a natural, acoustically enhanced sound from the open-air arena's stylised acoustic shell, but for

The lighting for the world tour was created by LD Marc Heinz and Andre Beekmans from design practice The Art of Light, and is being directed on the road by Michael Seeverens, who's just celebrated his fifth year of working with the award-winning Dutch superstar, DJ and music producer.
The AO Embrace world tour sources production locally at each location, so the lighting spec is flexible to allow for a number of different fixtures to be utilized for the key profile, beam and wash lights. However, Michael is always happy when he sees Robe's BMFLs and Pointes on the kit list. He's used the brand for some time in his work and thinks
Complete AVL Solutions had been looking for an internationally recognised brand with a strong history that is frequently seen on international riders, said David Toh, manager of Complete AVL Solutions. "GLP fulfilled all these criteria and for us it was an easy decision after we had made contact, and found out that the company was looking for a distributor in Thailand."
