CENTRAL AMERICAN DEBUT FOR PR-5000 AND XLED 590

PR Lighting's new PR-5000 advanced moving head spot and powerful XLED590 LED wash light made their Central American debut at a high profile concert in Guatemala recently.

Popular Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tito el Bambino, headlined a concert at the Feria de Xela in Quetzaltenango, which was a great success.

Local company The Best Music, who have also been PR Lighting's distributor for the past six years, fielded a vast array of the Chinese manufacturer's products as part of a complete sound, light and video package which dazzled the audience of 2,500.

Working for the production company, Audio Illusion, they fielded four of the new PR-5000 spots alongside eight XL 1200 spots, and eight each of the XL Beam 300 and XL 700 while a further eight each of the new XLED 590 and XLED 390 provided dazzling LED washes from 90 x 5W LEDs and 90 x 3W LED's respectively. These were designed into the set by LD Francisco Giron, and the cues stored in a Wholehog 3 lighting desk.

To complete the armoury of PR Lighting effects, the sound and lighting specialists deployed two Orlands as follow spots.

According to The Best Music's Janma Bardi and Juan Castro the lighting proved a great success. “PR Lighting fixtures offer good response and programming, the movement is unique and the colours are very intense.

“In fact Tito El Bambino's technician was extremely grateful to us for being able to present this type of lighting and loved how the fixtures functioned. It was a privilege to be the first country in Central America to present the XLED 590 and PR-5000 — and on such a high profile show.”
