Showtec Sunstrip MKII creates light flickering patterns at the live performance

Ground Control uses 12 Showtec Sunstrip MKII units in the big touring act for Prateek Kuhad. The founder of Ground Control, Naveen Deshpande, is a celebratory lighting designer from India who with his creative team are working on progressive and futuristic lighting design and audiovisual experiences for artists, festivals, corporates, and other large scale events across the globe. He speaks with admiration of the Showtec Sunstrip MKII blinders and uses 12 of them in one of India's biggest tour acts.

The Showtec Sunstrip MKII blinders fit well into the 2021 Prateek Kuhad India tour. Prateek is a famous Indian singer-songwriter creating independent music in Hindi and English. Last year he performed in Bangalore and Pune, where the lighting setup on the stage featured Showtec fixtures. The production company WMS Online managed the tour, and Star Dimensions India Pvt Ltd and J Davies Pro Sound and Lighting supplied the lighting inventory.

Naveen Deshpande describes the Showtec Sunstrip MKII as one of his favourite fixtures. He has had many great opportunities to use them in different genres of events that he has done. It is such a multi-purpose fixture because of its versatile application possibilities, allowing Naveen to create creative light flickering patterns and blind the audience with blinder moments via DMX. The stage setup comes alive with the support from its pixel control, dimmer function and ten bright 50 W warm white Osram bulbs.
