GLP impression X5 IP Bars Have the Edge for Karol G’s Stadium Shows

LD Ignacio (Iggy) Rosenberg has become another early adopter of GLP’s new impression X5 IP Bars, having successfully commandeered 136 units from PRG for Karol G’s recent 13-date American stadium tour. Part of a multidisciplinary design collective, Lightswitch, which specializes in visual design for live entertainment and architectural projects, the lighting designer first became involved with Karol G several years ago. “After two tours with her we were invited back to design the lighting on her Mañana Sera Bonito stadium tour,” he says, adding: “It helps I’m originally Argentine, so there is a language and cultural bridge that helps the design process and transfer of ideas.”Read More »GLP impression X5 IP Bars Have the Edge for Karol G’s Stadium Shows

Local tech suppliers, Limitless Lights & Sound, provided a lean but effective assortment of GLP X4 Bar battens and FR1 luminaires.
