Why laser tops the list. Cheap, low maintenance, long lifespan and high
electrical-load capacity — with proven results at the Beijing Olympics, Dubai Garden Glow and
Nagoya's winter illuminations. Hard to beat for night-time scenes.
One caveat that runs through all eight: the product never decides the result. The same fixtures
can look unforgettable or flat depending on the live design. Every great scene needs a planning
team that maps the right light to the right zone — and a night-time director shaping it in real time.
