Ayrton Huracan Shines at The Star Theatre Singapore The Star Theatre, the main venue at The Star Performing Arts Centre, has invested in a quantity of Ayrton Huracan Wash fixtures supplied by Ayrton's exclusive distributor for the region, Total Solution Marketing. The Huracan Wash units will become a fixed installation as part of the permanent lighting rig, and mark the second investment in Ayrton for the venue. The Star Theatre, is a 5,000-seat capacity theatre that features a traditional horseshoe shape auditorium with plush seating that helps create an intimate ambience. It prides itself in using only high-end professional equipment in its broad program of events and performances. 40 Huracan Wash fixtures were installed at the request of The Star Theatre's head of lighting, Mohamad Azhar Bin Mazlan, who explains why he chose them: "I specified these particular fixtures because of the Fresnel lens, good zoom range, good colour mixing, great output and, most importantly, the framing shutters. These really facilitate the lighting operators to carry out exact focusing with great precision. The Wash fixtures will be used to complement our existing 60 Khamsin Profiles which were purchased for the Theatre in 2020." Azhar discussed how and where the new Huracan Washes would be rigged. "Most of them are rigged as part of our default in-house rig and perform over throw distances ranging from 10 - 25m. They will be used for lighting our anchor tenant, New Creation Church, at weekly Sunday services, and put to full use at the many concerts, conferences and dance performances held at the venue. The Huracan Washes complement our previous purchase of Khamsin Profiles very well because of their artistic output, vibrant colours and creative aesthetics on stage." The technical team at the Theatre and the incoming lighting designers have been equally impressed with the new Ayrton lighting fixtures and the service provided by Total Solution Marketing. "Our partnership with TSM has been well established since day one, and the team always provides great pre- and post-sales service," says Azhar. "They are passionate in what they do and give the best support to their clients. We know Ayrton fixtures are always very high quality and well built, with good output. The colors are great and we find them extremely reliable." "It is exciting to be part of a partner's project over many years and with many different products," comments Ayrton CEO Chris Ferrante. "We first met the team at Star in early 2019 and we are delighted to continue this partnership with the addition of the Huracan Wash. We are also humbled that the team at Star continues to entrust us with providing them their state-of-the-art lighting equipment." ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
