GLP (German Light Products) can reflect with complete satisfaction on the recent Prolight + Sound Show in Frankfurt. Both the quality and quantity of visitors – as was the case last year – were impressive, and despite prophecies of doom, it was particularly gratifying to note that 51% of visitors were international.Read More »GLP’s X5 Family Focus at Prolight + Sound Results in Resounding Success
Florence and the Machine’s grand world tour, which began late last summer in North America and subsequently spanned shows as far afield as Melbourne and London, will again prove that distance is no barrier as the festival season looms, with imminent outdoor events in Brazil and Europe. Masterminded by a largely new creative team, the lighting is based on an original concept from the highly imaginative Andi Watson, complementing Es Devlin’s set design. However, one long-term Florence collaborator is the show’s Lighting Director, Sam O’Riordan.Read More »GLP Flies High with Florence and the Machine Supporting LD Andi Watson
In May 2022, next to the roadway outside the T2 terminal of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, four brand-new upright LED billboards were installed. These billboards are all made of INFiLED’s MV series, with a size of 3.5m x 3m. The advertising content presented is conspicuous and distinct. Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport is one of the busiest airports in China, with a good deal of passengers taking off and landing from there every day. Due to the huge passenger flow, the airport intended to install some LED displays next to the drop-off lane outside the T2 terminal for commercial promotion. However, to catch the attention of passers-by, the billboards are required to meet two conditions—a generous appearance, and an excellent display effect.Read More »New LED Billboards Outside T2 Terminal of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport Supported by INFiLED

Since late last year there has been a new player in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Set in Hamburg’s Ottensen district, chef and author Jonas Straube appears to have effortlessly combined seeming opposites. Der Player (‘The Player’) is a restaurant, bar, games lounge, and nightclub all rolled into one. The innovative fusion concept posed a challenge for lighting and video planner Axel Fahrenhorst, from Hamburg-based creative consultancy lineareal GmbH. This is because when one seamlessly merges into the other, the lighting requirements change in next to no time.Read More »GLP impression FR1 TM Transforms Der Player’s Atmosphere from Dinner into Party Fever
