LEVELLED UP LIGHTING Known for delivering award- winning productions, Jermyn Street Theatre approached White Light (WL) to assist in elevating its technical ambitions. To support this, WL has supplied lighting equipment, including MAC Auras and LED battens, selected to strengthen the theatre’s evolving capabilities. The new rig is already changing productions across the current season. Working closely with co-artistic director and executive producer David Doyle, WL offered a tailored package that expands the theatre’s lighting capabilities while backing its commitment to low-energy, sustainable production. “As a small space, we’ve always been limited by the number of dimmers on site,” said Doyle. “Since the equipment is LED, designers can work with a much larger number of fixtures.” for partners and clients. It will also serve as a creative hub where architects, designers and integrators can experience products and solutions in an inspiring, design-led setting. The showroom will additionally provide a central location to host guests and demonstrate solutions in support of K-array’s growing activities in northern Europe. Visitors will have the chance to listen to almost every K-array, KGEAR and KSCAPE speaker, accompanied by warm Italian hospitality.
