Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts, a six storey complex in Canada located in the heart of Calgary’s downtown cultural district has taken delivery of eight Clay Paky A.leda B-EYE K10 Easy fixtures for its Jack Singer Concert Hall, a 1 800-seat venue which is one of the most beautiful and acoustically acclaimed venues in Canada.
“We try to stick to buying the well-known and well-supported brands,’ the centre’s head electrician, Kris Ladd explains. “We were looking for LED wash fixtures the size of the K10s to use for uplights, where smaller is better, we also needed them to have the punch to hang overhead and do washes.’
“The K10s had good intensity for their size and a very even wash throughout the zoom range,’ says Ladd, “They can get really tight down to a 4-degree beam so they’re more than a flooding fresnel. They’re very versatile. Since their delivery this summer, the K10s have been used on the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra’s pop shows, a slate of rock concerts and stand-up comedy shows where they colour wash the stage or uplight the drapes behind the performer.
The B-EYE K10 Easy are mounted on truss, placed on the floor behind a drum riser or even positioned on speaker sub woofers as a side front light. “Lighting designers who come here with shows are enjoying them,’ he reports.
