Czech theatre thinking outside the box regarding stage light
SGM P-5s act as lighting fixtures at Czech theatre
If we get the need for additional lighting fixtures in the future, we will definitely prefer SGM products due to their unique qualities.
P-5s provide entertainment
Klicperovo Theater in Hradec Králové is one of the most significant theaters in the Czech Republic, which boasts of being a highly respected professional dramatic stage. In 2015, it celebrated its 130-year anniversary.
After many years of using conventional lights, the management of the theater decided to invest in LED fixtures. They carried out a careful review of different LED lights on the market that was followed up with a shootout and testing of each product. In the end, SGM P-5 wash lights were chosen as the optimal solution for covering the needs of the Klicperovo Theater. Due to the P-5's extreme output and its 43 degree lens, four units easily covered the entire stage. The minimum power requirements of only approx. 1.5 kW in total was a bonus as well. The technical management of the theater was very satisfied with the outcome, stressing that; “If we get the need for additional lighting fixtures in the future, we will definitely prefer SGM products due to their unique and precise qualities.” The P-5 wash lights were supplied by the Czech SGM distributor, Dancefloor, headed by Klemenc Libor.
