At this year’s Labadoux festival in Belgium, LD Vincent de Schinckel specified a number of CHAUVET fixtures for the festival’s main stage, including 12 CHAUVET Professional Maverick MK2 spots, 16 Maverick MK2 washes, and 16 CHAUVET DJ Intimidator 140SR hybrids.
The 440w Maverick MK2 Spot and 480w Maverick Wash fixtures were positioned over three rows of ceiling trussing hung from the front to the back of the stage.
“I specified the Maverick Spots for their ability to produce incredibly powerful and sharp spot lighting with versatile effects such as gobos and three-facet prisms,” commented de Schinckel. “The wash fixtures, on the other hand, allowed me to contrast the spots with saturated and vivid colors. This combination painted the perfect backdrop on stage and created appropriately large looks for the main stage of the festival.”
Sixteen Intimidator SR140 Hybrid fixtures were also positioned both from overhead stage truss and on the floor to give the main stage an extra visual layer.
“The Intimidator Hybrids were my secret weapon,” de Schinckel. “Given the incredibly compact size of the fixtures, the Intimidators can be used everywhere. Thanks to their ability to project crisp spots, beams and wash effects, the Intimidators were consequently able to transform the stage with impactful lighting and visual effects. I’m confident that my lighting concept gave all visiting bands – both established and up and coming – the best visual platform to perform to the best of their abilities. The Chauvet fixtures ensured we didn’t have to make any compromises.”
