Robe lights up Supernatural Revolution
Published: WORSHIP
WORLD: Robe moving lights were central to the stage lighting scheme for the recent Chosen Generation Conference – Supernatural Revolution event staged at the King Jesus International Ministry (KJM) in Florida. Hosted by apostle Guillermo and prophet Ana Maldonado, the youth outreach event attracted over 4,500 participants.
The stage and lighting scheme was jointly created by KJM’s Edward Puerta, Silvio Sanchez and Elvin Quinones. The Robe fixtures used were a combination of the church’s in house system in addition to a further 24 units that were hired from James Watson at Arts of South Florida.
The Supernatural Revolution event was shot in HD and was broadcast globally by KJM, so technical standards were high. The church also specified ‘dramatic theatrical style’ lighting for the event, leading the house of worship to select the additional Robe fixtures.
The house rig was installed in 2006 by Paradigm Lighting from Tamarac, and includes six Robe ColorSpot 575E ATs, 24 Robe ColorWash 575E ATs and 12 Robe ColorMix 575s.
The extra Robe lights comprised 12 LEDBeam 100s, eight LEDWash 300s and four LEDWash 600s, plus a Robe Haze 800 FT fog machine. Arts of South Florida also brought in Florida-based freelance LD Peter Moore for lighting and programming duties.
The 12 ColorMix’s and 16 of the ColorWash 575s were installed over the stage and focussed on the various architectural features around the room, whilst six of the ColorSpot 575E ATs were located on the stage at floor level, and were beamed into the crowd. Meanwhile, six ColorWash 575E ATs were positioned around the FOH area and were used to bathe the whole auditorium in colour.
‘We greatly appreciated their low power consumption,’ said Mr Puerta, who explained that typically they would need to supplement the onstage power to accommodate a rental system of this size. However, by using the additional Robe LED fixtures, all 54 moving lights were powered with the existing available resources.
