Robe triggers Maximo Park effect

Lighting designer Olly Suckling presented a novel solution and lighting effect using 28 of Robe’s CycFX 8 LED battens to create an illuminated M-A-X-I-M-O sign upstage on UK alt rockers Maximo Park’s most recent tour.

This visual effect was part of Suckling’s first design for Maximo Park, for which he toured a floor package comprising 59 fixtures, 46 of which were Robe, all supplied by rental company R&M Productions from Stokesley, North Yorkshire.

The Maximo letters utilised six CycFX 8s for the two Ms and the O, four for the A and the X and two for the L, all of which were outrigged from aluminium pipes standing in tank trap bases. In addition to the CycFX 8s, Suckling also spec'd 12 x Robe LEDBeam 100s and 6 x LEDWash 600s.

The LEDBeam 100s were dotted in and around the top and sides of the letters, also clamped to the aluminium pipe structure, together with blinders and strobes. The LEDWash 600s were located on the floor, three each side of the stage for cross lighting the band during the show which visited theatres and academy venues throughout the UK, and also played a European leg for which Suckling took a B-rig.
