Oxonmoot returns

Last weekend saw the annual gathering in Oxford to celebrate the life and works of JRR Tolkien, and Startech were there to help.

One of the events during the weekend is a cabaret evening in the Dining Room at Lady Magaret Hall which Startech provided LED lighting for. In previous years the cabaret has been lit by more traditional fixtures, but that has meant laying 50 metres of 63 amp cable to get enough power in to the room. This year Startech worked closely with Mike Percival from Oxonmoot to provide almost a completely LED rig which could be powered from the existing supply in the room.

After the event Mike sent us the following:

Everything went very smoothly indeed. I think the bottom line is that we proved that in fact in a space that size it is perfectly possible to light an event of the nature of ours with 100% LED lights. I did use the source 4s
for two items - but one was laziness (the performer revealed at the last minute they wanted to use more of the acting area than they had told me when I plotted their lights, so it was easier to add in the source 4s than to
re-plot the LED profiles, but they would in fact have been better), and the other I only really included them because they were there!

Finally for now, please say a huge thank you to Chris and especially to Nigel for their help, without which our event wouldn't have gone as well as it did. 

Startech help launch the Land Rover Evoque

Hartwell launched the new Land Rover Evoque last week and Startech was there to help show off the new 4x4 at it's best.

Startech provided above and below car lighting, to give the cars that extra sparkle, as well as providing large screen to show all the promotional information. 


Beverley Bailey from Hartwell Cumnor asked Startech to supply and operate lighting for the launch night and the following test drive day in a marquee near Frilford. Beverley thanked Shanks, Startech's Technical Manager, for his work. "On behalf of Hartwell management and sales team I would like to thank you for your help with the launch of our new vehicle.  The lighting was perfect for the occasion and Shanks overcame the problems we had with the generator and distribution box without any hesitation."
