The basis of Electric Fireworks is a large LED clock, which is surrounded by 11 constructions packed with light.

To make the fixtures and truss fit together at all angles, 4Light developed various adapters. This includes adapters from Core-steel products to Eurotruss HD34 Boxcorners, rotation plates and adapters for the CLF Poseidon Beam.

The biggest challenge of this project lies in the fact that the entire spectacle takes place completely outdoors in the period between Christmas and January 2nd. During the load-in period, the wind turned out to have more influence on the planned smoke machines than we had estimated with the test construction at this location. As a result, we increased this number during rehearsals from 48 units to 80 units.

The largest objects are built horizontally, under a temporary roof and hoisted upright by means of a crane. To be able to build the 11 objects, 3 different set-up positions were required for this crane. After the hoisting work, the ground cabling was installed to control the 1504 Luminaires. This involved a total of 47534 DMX parameters, spread over 162 Universes – sACN Protocol.
