Showtec Lights Up Prateek Kuhad's Concert
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.
