Pulsar lights annual BEDA awards

Nov. 10, 2004
Pulsar Lighting transformed the Hilton Metropole Hotel, located close to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK, into a spectacular event space for The Smirnoff BEDA Awards, the annual gathering of the members of the Bar Entertainment and Dance Association.

BEDA awards Over recent years Pulsar has been proud to design and supply the lighting system for the BEDA Awards dinner and this year they came up with a fantastic lighting design which would meet the different criteria and demands that would be needed throughout the show.

An impressive array of 46 Pulsar ChromaBanks were used along six flown trusses above the dinner tables to highlight the body of the venue. Also, a further eight ChromaBanks fitted with the new QuadLightPipe were used upstage in triangular formation to accentuate the background.

The lighting system also comprised Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200, MiniScan HPE, Alpha Wash, Alpha Spot HPE, Stage Light 300, Stage Colour 300 and CP 250 automated lighting fixtures.

BEDA was established in 1952 and rapidly developed to become the premier association for club and bar operators. Today it works to secure a better trading environment for its 1300 members, seeing off threats, creating opportunities and reducing costs. BEDA's annual awards event brings together managers, owners, suppliers and promoters to celebrate the finest venues in the UK.
