Elation illuminated the spectacular structure created at the Santa Monica Pier for The Twilight Concert

The well-known pier and tourist attraction of the city of Santa Monica installed 12 Elation SixPar 300IP outdoor multi-chip Led Par units to illuminate the architectural design of 11 meters high used in The Twilight Concert Series.

Santa Monica Pier was inaugurated in the year 1909 and since then it has become a landmark in the city, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. There are also numerous appearances of this pier and its Pacific Park amusement park in television series., music videos and movies like “Titanic”, “Forrest Gump” o “Iron Man”.

Every summer the Santa Monica pier is the venue chosen for a series of outdoor concerts that take place under the name of The Twilight Concert Series.. In the last edition, The Santa Monica Pier had a spectacular architectural structure illuminated with Elation SixPar 300IP, whose brand distributes in Spain Visualsvisuals.

This structure was designed by the company Stereo-bot, which among other projects has also created different stages and structures for the Coachella music festival. The lighting design for this installation has been the work of the event production company Pacific Coast Entertainment.

The spectacular architectural design of this facility, which reached a height of 11 meters and was located behind the concert stage, It consisted of different sections of truss wrapped in translucent fabrics and illuminated internally by 12 SixPar 300IP units from Elation Professional.

Tim Hemrich, de Pacific Coast Entertainment, has been responsible for the lighting installation of this structure, which was on display at the Santa Monica Pier during 12 weeks this summer. “We have used 12 SixPar units, installed within different truss sections of this structure. “We needed a device with IP65 construction and the SixPar 300IP has proven to be very bright and resistant”.

The SixPar 300IP from Elation Professional is a multi-chip Led Par that has 18 Led 6 in 1 (RGB + blanco + amber + ultraviolet) of 12 watts of power each, for a total of 216 watts, with IP65 construction, resistant to all types of weather conditions, a 15° beam opening and that has 5 differentiated dimming curves.

Henrich had previously used numerous SixPar 300IP units in his design and installation of the exterior lighting at the Irvine Hotel in Los Angeles.. “A series of SixPar 300IP units were originally installed outside the Irvine hotel to celebrate its opening and the idea was to use them for 30 days. The hotel managers liked this exterior lighting and today the Elation SixPar 300IPs have been used to illuminate the hotel's facades for nine months.".

The installation in the structure of the Santa Monica Pier had a technical design that has allowed the lighting of the structure through pre-programmed sequences, by an Elation Professional DMX memory player, and also through the lighting control tables for each of the groups that performed on the pier stage during The Twilight Concert Series festival..
