One of GLP’s longest serving customers in the Far East, Hong Kong-based AHM
Engineering Co. Ltd, has increased its pool of impression X4 moving head LEDs with
the addition of a further 48 fixtures.
This takes their inventory up to 138 pieces — and tasked with providing lighting for
two back-to-back concerts by Hong Kong legend Lui Fong at Hong Kong Coliseum
they also made their first investment in the new impression X4 Bar 10 battens.
According to Michael Munz, general manager, GLP Asia, 84 of the impression X4 and
all 24 new X4 Bar 10s were pressed into service. “AHM has been one of our best
and most loyal customers since we started operations here in 2010,’ he said. “They
purchased their first batch of 120RZ back in 2010 and since then they have
constantly reinvested in GLP equipment — including more than 60 Spot Ones — and
placed their first order for 60 x X4 back in 2013.’
AHM’s own Stephen Hui and Ben Chau were responsible for the lighting design of Lui
Fong’s shows, with stage design by BK Chow from Design Creation Ltd.
Founded by Mazon Chan in 1996 AHM Engineering Co. Ltd has steadily grown into a
full sound and lighting production house, with an office in mainland China. They also
carry out shows in Macao and support clients on tours throughout Asia and
occasionally US. Mazon remains “hands-on’ and could be seen working the FOH
sound desk for Lui Fong’s shows.
Determined to keep their inventory at the cutting edge, AHM had carefully assessed
the features and look of the X4 Bar 10 — factoring in the GLP reliability and support
and service they have come to expect — before making the investment decision.
“They were impressed by the performance and flexibility of the X4 Bar when I
demoed it to them for the first time,’ reports Michael Munz. “They particularly liked
the zoom range — especially the narrow punch — and individual pixel control and
the accessories such as the asymmetric filters and smart rigging system.
In conclusion Mazon Chan confirmed that GLP probably offered the best and fastest
support of any lighting manufacturer operating in Hong Kong. “We have enjoyed a
very close cooperation from the first day and Michael always goes the extra mile to
offer enhanced packages, programming and set-up assistance where necessary to
ensure the production values of our shows remain first class.’
