GLX lights Eden Project red with Chauvet

GLX Productions has used a collection of Chauvet Professional Colorado Q40 LED panels to create a glow throughout the biomes of Cornwall, UK’s Eden Project as part of ‘Light It In Red’, a national initiative aimed at drawing attention to the severe challenges faced by the entertainment and event industry in the UK and the entire world.

The vivid red hues that shimmered through the hexagonal cladding panels of the biomes, not only raised awareness of the situation faced by the 25,000 businesses and 500,000 people of the nation’s entertainment and event industry, it also let them know that they are not alone.

“Our industry faces a dire state of affairs,” says Glenn Gridley of GLX Productions. “We know events and venues cannot safely take place for now and we as an industry are in need of support in the interim. Whilst the governments arts sector support is wholeheartedly welcome, there will be people and businesses forgotten. This cannot be allowed to happen.”

“We got involved with ‘Light It In Red’ after having a few conversations with Steven from Clearsound Productions before it went live,” adds Zak Nicholson of GLX. “We spoke about potential dates and looked at which other light ups were taking place.”

Lighting the Eden Project seemed like a natural choice for GLX Productions, which has worked closely with the venue in the past on a variety of programs, including its 2019 Christmas show. This summer, with its usual series of events canceled due to Covid-19, the facility was available to be part of ‘Light It In Red’.

The design team used 36 Colorado Q40 panels at the Eden Project, with 20 of the RGBW fixtures lighting the Rainforest Biome and 16 in the Mediterranean Biome. Suspended from the roof top gantries of the biomes, the fixtures filled the domed space with light, creating a red lantern effect.
