GLP JDC2 IP, JDC Burst 1 and MAD MAXX Drive Visual Design of Stage B at Moorea Festival Eight GLP JDC2 IPs, ten JDC Burst 1s, and a single MAD MAXX shaped Stage B at the third Moorea Festival, with Loic Esparraga of MID responsible for lighting design, programming, and operation. "The JDC Burst 1 stood out for its output and versatility, while the MAD MAXX created spectacular sweeps across the sky and gave the shows a strong visual identity," says Yohan Ory of MID, Musique Industrie Developpement, GLP's distributor in France. Held from June 5 to 7 on the grounds of Chateau de Grillemont in La Chapelle-Blanche-Saint-Martin, the festival brought three days of electronic music to the historic estate. Its international line-up included Timmy Trumpet, Dimitri Vegas, Oliver Heldens, Blasterjaxx, Morten, Sub Zero Project and Trym. "Moorea Festival is still relatively young, but it is growing rapidly and steadily establishing itself as a must-attend event, both for industry professionals and the wider public," says Ory. Particularly adverse weather placed additional demands on the outdoor production. Stage B rig featured three robust, IP-rated GLP fixtures, which Esparraga used to create a dynamic visual environment tailored to different artists and performances. The eight JDC2 IPs and ten JDC Burst 1s formed the major effects layer on Stage B. Both fixtures are weatherproof hybrid strobe moving lights with tilt and intense brightness that combine powerful white strobe output with large color-mixing LED surfaces. The GLP JDC Burst 1 pairs a 12-segment white beam-strobe-line with two RGBW plates containing 1,200 RGBW pixels, controllable in up to 48 segments. Its 185-degree motorized tilt adds movement to the strobe, wash, and pixel effects, while the sealed IP65 housing protects the fixture against rain, dust, pyrotechnic residue, and confetti. The GLP JDC2 IP comes with an IP65 housing and 180-degree tilt, and combines a 84-LED beam-strobe-line, divided into twelve individually controllable segments, with 1,728 RGBW-LEDs spread across two large LED plates, each controllable as 12 or 24 segments. But that's just one of the JDC2's three philosophies: Its integrated DigiFX engine provides a range of built-in digital effects that can be easily generated and manipulated directly from the lighting console -- either on single fixtures or configured as a combined canvas of JDC2. As a third product capability, 2Gb etherCON ports allow the JDC2 IP to receive up to four external NDI streams and display video content directly across its LED surfaces. A single GLP MAD MAXX LED Sky Beam provided the large-scale aerial component of the design. Its broad beam remained visible beyond the immediate performance area and connected the stage with the wider festival site. GLP's MAD MAXX is an LED-based FatBeam fixture designed for large-scale stage and sky effects. Its fully illuminated aperture produces a parallel beam measuring approximately 750mm in diameter, while 19 individually controllable LED sources enable segment, multibeam and pattern effects. The IP66-rated construction is designed for use in demanding outdoor environments, delivering night-cutting beams visible from kilometers away as well as a big surface for daylight looks. For MID, Moorea Festival also got in touch with lighting designers, technical providers and decision-makers attending or working on the event. According to Ory, the response has already led the organizers to consider a greater GLP presence at future editions, particularly on the main stage. "What impressed me most was the interest in our products and the quality of the conversations with the professionals at the festival," he concludes. "Our presence at the festival strengthened GLP's visibility in the French market and demonstrated the power, versatility, and quality of the fixtures. Our aim is to build on that momentum and establish GLP as a key player in professional lighting in our market."
