It was what most international artists asked us for., so it all made sense. Besides, Showco service is really excellent, and that is also important”.

The luminosity and great multifunctionality of the Forte luminaire determined their choice, since it can act as a swimsuit or as a beam of light; Spiider were selected for their quality as wash lights and good color mix, while the ease of use, flexibility and improved camera technology corresponded to RoboScot systems.
