Vari-Lite VL2600 Wash used for 'Circus 1903'

When 'Circus 1903 - the Golden Age of Circus' visited London’s Royal Festival Hall over the Christmas period, its performers and life-size puppet elephants were lit by lighting designer Paul Smith, using 26 new VL2600 Wash fixtures from Vari-Lite, supplied by Siyan.

The LED fixtures delivered a number of immediate advantages. “By switching to the much more compact fixture we’ve gained extra floorspace,” says Smith. “We’ve also replaced the heavier wash fixtures overhead, as it’s quite a weight-restricted show.”

The VL2600 Wash’s internal framing system allowed Smith to visually segment the performance area, keeping the audience focused on the action. The consistency of the Vari-Lite palette across the rig was also a key factor in the end result, says Smith - as was the CTO adjustment. “Having that uniformity of look across the whole rig is definitely helpful. It’s a very sepia, pastel color palette in the first part of the show, so everything is CTO’d. The VL2600s coped very well with that,” he says.
