Ayrton Cobras illuminate “Light is Life” festival in Brescia

Lighting designer Daniele Davino opted for 26 Ayrton Cobra laser-sourced fixtures to illuminate the “Light is Life” festival in Brescia, Italy. The festival, powered by renewable energy sources and installations designed according to energy efficiency criteria, took place in various symbolic locations in the city which took on the role of open-air art galleries.

The heart of the event was the castle of Brescia, a fortification of medieval origin, erected on the Cidneo Hill, in which fifteen lighting installations were set up. Ayrton's Cobra fixtures were positioned on the walls of the Cidneo Castle, right at the public entrance, facing the city centre. Another six Cobras were used in the loopholes of a tunnel, hidden, so that only a beam of light was let out. “It was a very hostile environment due to the high humidity and exposure to possible rain and water run-off”, says Davino. “I could only use an IP65 projector - the Cobra.”

“The intention behind the projectors positioned on the walls of the Castle was to integrate the effects generated by an Ultra Beam moving head into a high-impact reception show for the visitors, which included the passage through a tunnel with dynamic pixels and architectural lighting, all synchronised to a Timecode audio track”, he continues. “I assigned the task of generating aerial effects to the Cobras, creating a luminous roof with the laser matrix, and ground effects, exploiting the entire zoom and three-colour range.”The Ayrton projectors were supplied by Angelo Pelliccioli Service with material from Mister X.
