Ayrton on Bruce Springsteen Tour
The Wildsun 500 Ayrton began his international career on the world tour"Wrecking Ball" Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band's. He then traveled the world in the Jeff Ravitz’s lighting kit, the Lighting Designer of Springsteen.
Ayrton is proud to announce that more than 65 WILDSUN 500C automated LED luminaires are being used on Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band's "Wrecking Ball" world tour. Award winning Lighting Designer Jeff Ravitz of Intensity Advisors in Los Angeles and Morpheus Lights, the Las Vegas based lighting production company, selected the Wildsun 500C from Ayrton after extensive testing and comparisons to other automated LED fixtures.
"It's a strikingly different look for our show - the warm white baseline, vivid colors, smooth movement, and remarkable intensity of the Wildsun 500C are truly unique" says Ravitz.
The Wrecking Ball tour began in Atlanta, Georgia in mid-March and continues in European cities from mid-May through July 2012. It then returns to the US for additional Stadium shows in August and September.

Symphonic Julien Clerc
Like many artists before him, Julien Clerc (a famous French singer) has succumbed to a symphonic sound and has enlisted a group of 40 musicians, with which his songs present and past take on a special importance. Faithful to the artist and assisted by Laurent Midas at the monitor desk, Laurent "Bellote" Delenclos was given the responsibility of the sound on this tour – which is more pop than classical – and has some tricks up his sleeve.
Plisson immerses Dracula in a bath of sound
Dracula opts for simplicity despite the modern and smart infrastructure, delivering clear vocals and concert sensations at a reasonable SPL. You will think this is normal, when the show's producer is called Thierry Suc and that one Stéph Plisson is also involved, happy as a trumpet fish in a bath of sound.
Peter Johansen Acquires SGM Lighting from RCF Group
The new company, SGM A/S, which replaces the former SGM Technology for Lighting spa, will be headquartered in Aabyhøj, near Aarhus, and will concentrate exclusively on developing LED solutions, while continuing to support SGM’s current catalogue of discharge lighting.
Adam et Eve in the garden of leds
Giving humanity a second chance to live in harmony as a bro- therhood and with respect for nature, it is an opportunity for Pascal Obispo to describe our world of contrasts and to convey a very rich musical and choreographic content, blending rock, pop and electronic music with his musical comedy. Will the love of the rich blond golden boy Adam for the pretty poor mixed-race Eve save the world? In any case, these two, each with their clan, almost continuously attract 25 performers on stage, including singers, dancers and even acrobats. One can imagine the diffi- culty for the lighting designer Dimitri Vassiliu, in showing off this small world in the stage setting.
