Event Stage Lighting Projects & Solutions

On the evening of October 22, the TV cultural gala *Ode to the Long March*, commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's Long March, was broadcast. A scene-based epic brought the audience back to the magnificent journey of 25,000 li, and many were moved to tears after watching it.

From the very opening of the gala, the weight of history was palpable. Ninety honor guards from the Guard of Honor Battalion of the Chinese People's Liberation Army marched with 90 resounding goose steps, holding 90 solemn flags, opening the curtain on 90 years of history. All 90 flags were restored according to their original historical appearance. What the flag formation unfolded was not only segments of memory but also the resounding footsteps echoing from the depths of history. The gala brought the Long March spirit into every perceptible detail: the Battle of Luding Bridge was authentically recreated with the original form of 13 iron chains — 9 laid as the bridge deck and 4 as railings. Straw sandals, military bugles, literacy classes, campfires, and red flags — these images, as emotional carriers, connected the moving stories along the Long March. Restoring history through details is a reverence for history and a tribute to the martyrs.

What made these details "speak" and made faith "audible" was every precise and restrained beam of light on stage. As the lighting support provider for this gala, FINE ART used professional stage lighting products to lay a perceptible, audible, and communicable light-and-shadow foundation for this TV cultural gala.

In expansive scenes such as the unfolding flag formation and the recreated iron-chain bridge, the FINE 1400LH BSWF, with its 1400W LED light engine, outputs over 40,000 lm of luminous flux. Its 5–50° 10x zoom flexibly covers different shot sizes, and its light quality of Ra ≥ 95 and R9 ≥ 90 restores the red of the flags and the cold sternness of the iron chains with steadiness and authenticity. Its patented cooling system ensures continuous full-power operation at room temperature, keeping the light effects stable throughout the performance. Its 6 color filters plus white, rotating gobo wheel, dynamic effect wheel, and full framing system rotatable ±90° produce sharp, distortion-free cut edges, providing clean and crisp light-shape boundaries for scene transitions.

Addressing the needs of stage depth and long-distance projection, the FINE 1700LH BSWF, with its 100m effective range and low noise performance below 45dB, balances silent operation while maintaining outstanding light quality. Its built-in second-generation color standard offers good color consistency and a wide color gamut. Combined with a color wheel, dual rotating gobo wheels, a dynamic effect wheel, and a ±90° full framing system, it makes the same-stage dialogue across 90 years of time and space appear more solemn in unified light and color.

In scenes requiring soft color mixing and delicate dimming, the FINE 4019 PIXIE IP all-weather moving head wash light, with its all-new optical design, balances uniform color mixing and soft texture. It offers a 4°–40° zoom, an illuminance of up to 25,000 lux at 6 meters at narrow angles, and a linearly adjustable color temperature from 2500K to 8000K with essentially stable brightness. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness provide delicate emotional layers for dramatic scenes.

In the character follow-spot segment, the FINE iSPOT PILOT pan-tilt system solved the traditional challenges of follow-spot operation. With no need for high-altitude work, multiple follow spots can be controlled simultaneously from the ground, reducing installation time and operating costs. The FINE 1700LH iSPOT has an effective range of up to 100m, with Ra and R9 both reaching 95. It is equipped with 12 color filters, a rotating gobo wheel, a fixed gobo wheel, a dynamic effect wheel, and a ±90° full framing system. A high-definition digital camera is mounted on the fixture head and can be connected to the FINE iSPOT PILOT pan-tilt system via fiber optics or Ethernet, enabling precise tracking of moving performers or targets on stage.

This "TV art epic" truly made the Long March spirit of 90 years ago perceptible, audible, and communicable on today's stage. Stepping off the stage means a firm departure toward a new journey. Commemorate the Long March, continue the Long March, and walk well the Long March road of every generation and every individual. FINE ART uses light as a brush to let history "speak" and faith be "audible" — this is both a technical answer sheet of stage light and shadow and the most plain tribute to the Long March spirit.

On the evening of September 29, a grand gathering that brought together the essence of television art and the spirit of the times — the Closing Ceremony Gala of the 16th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival and the 33rd China TV Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, jointly hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Hunan Provincial People's Government, and the China Television Artists Association — was broadcast simultaneously on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV. He Jiong and Shen Mengchen co-hosted, with Ma Li joining as a special guest. Yu Hewei and Song Jia won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, while Zhu Yawen and Mei Ting won Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. *Tree of Life* took home Best TV Series and Best Screenplay.

The ceremony's overall stage design concept was "The Eye of the Golden Eagle." Feathers transformed into waves, gathering the glimmers and dreams of television professionals. "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" connected the virtual and the real, gazing into the dream-making world within the camera lens. On stage, the shining golden eagle wings became surging waves; behind the scenes, the rear of the stage became an exclusive "viewfinder" for television professionals, where the virtual and the real intertwined and light and shadow flowed. The entire ceremony adopted an innovative format of narrative-style award presentations and scenographic award-giving, completely breaking the inherent model of traditional award ceremonies.

In this grand ceremony where visuals and honors intertwined, FINE ART injected a dynamic soul into the "Golden Eagle Waves" with stage machinery and lighting technology. At the top of the stage, FD W5010A dual-line winches carried FINE 6019 PIXIE IP moving head lights, perfectly matching "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" with a wave-shaped layout. The FD W5010A has a power output of up to 2500W and supports Ethernet communication protocols. All parameters can be precisely controlled via the console's DMX, with the linear position error of the suspension points controlled within 1mm. The two steel wire ropes ensure that the fixtures do not rotate and run smoothly during lifting. At every award highlight moment, the dual-line winches move slowly, and the fixtures flicker with the rise and fall of the waves, like a golden eagle spreading its wings and skimming over a sea of light and shadow, freezing every glorious moment into eternity.

Working in tandem with the winches, the FD Hoistar multifunctional human-machine interaction stage machinery control console is built on a Linux system architecture and an Intel i5 processor. Its dual 17.3-inch LCD touchscreens, together with backlit motorized faders and photoelectric encoders, provide smooth and fluid interaction. Multiple software and hardware safety guarantees — including DMP foot pedals, local emergency stop, built-in UPS, user permission settings, facial recognition, operational parameter safety warnings, closed-loop control, and 3D visualization monitoring — make every lift of the dual-line winches rock-solid. Tabular programming, object-based programming, offline CUE programming, 3D asset and CAD import, and 3D graphical control effortlessly manage the complex scheduling of multiple award rounds throughout the ceremony.

More than a hundred FINE 6019 PIXIE IP units became the most dynamic brushstrokes of light and shadow at the top of the stage. As high-brightness, high-performance wash and beam fixtures, their 19 x 60W light sources are paired with a 20:1 zoom optical system, presenting a unique effect ranging from a sharp 3.2° beam to a wide 65° wash. When the golden eagle wings transformed into surging waves and the entire venue was immersed in a warm atmosphere paying tribute to television professionals, the fixtures spread layer upon layer of light and shadow ripples with uniform, soft color mixing, intertwining with "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" in virtual and real dimensions, allowing the glimmers of every television worker to converge into a surging tide of the times.

As "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" gazes inside and outside the lens, and as feathers transform into waves merging into a sea of light and shadow, FINE ART, with the precision of stage machinery and the agility of lighting technology, not only illuminates the contemporary spirit of Chinese television professionals striving forward in relay, but also reflects the dedication and love for the dream-making world behind every glimmer of light.

On September 25 and 27, the opening and closing gala performances of the 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival were broadcast on CCTV's Variety Channel. With a high-standard ethnic cultural and artistic feast, the galas resounded with the main theme of ethnic unity, endowing the country's first Ethnic Unity and Progress Publicity Week and the Mid-Autumn Festival with profound contemporary significance. The National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival is jointly hosted by the National Ethnic Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Radio and Television Administration, China Media Group, and the Beijing Municipal People's Government. It is an important cultural platform for showcasing the cultural diversity of all ethnic groups and enhancing exchanges, communication, and integration among them.

The 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival was held in Beijing from August 18 to September 23, 2026. A total of 48 outstanding productions were staged in multiple theatres across Beijing, with 114 wonderful performances, setting a new record for the number of productions in the festival's history. The productions covered a wide range of art forms including drama, opera, traditional Chinese opera, dance drama, musical theatre, and acrobatics. Closely focusing on the main thread of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and adhering to a people-centered creative orientation, this year's festival presented a batch of outstanding stage art works that embody the depth of Chinese culture, draw nourishment from the cultures of all ethnic groups, and integrate modern civilization.

The opening ceremony gala, broadcast on September 25, consisted of a prologue and three chapters: "Shared Bloodline and Roots," "Shared Beauty of Home," and "One Heart of China." The 14 programs comprehensively employed artistic forms such as song, dance, instrumental music, scene performance, and intangible cultural heritage displays, of which 12 were newly created for this gala. The closing ceremony gala, broadcast on September 27, consisted of a prologue, two chapters — "Colorful Scroll" and "Striving Chapter" — and a theme song, with a total of 10 programs including song, dance, instrumental music, traditional Chinese opera, and children's theatre. The opening gala achieved 6.425 million single-event views on Yangshipin, and the bullet comments of "great unity of all ethnic groups" witnessed the public's love for and resonance with cultural content on ethnic unity, also demonstrating the powerful role of literature and art in coalescing public sentiment and cultivating deep feelings.

On the stage of the opening and closing ceremonies of this national-level ethnic cultural and artistic event, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to passionately support the contemporary scroll of ethnic unity. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay with a strong lineup of 270 units at the opening ceremony and 85 units at the closing ceremony. With an outstanding color rendering index of Ra and R9 both greater than or equal to 95, it accurately reproduced the brilliant colors of the ethnic costumes and the rich layers of the stage scenery. Equipped with dual color wheels with 12 professional color filters, CMY infinite color mixing combined with CTO linear color temperature adjustment, one rotating gobo wheel with 6 pluggable gobos, and one fixed gobo wheel with 9 gobos working together with a dynamic effect wheel, it created, as the three chapters "Shared Bloodline and Roots," "Shared Beauty of Home," and "One Heart of China" unfolded, a moving picture of all ethnic groups living, learning, building, and sharing together, allowing every program to blossom with ethnic splendor in precise light and color.

The FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system used innovative technology to solve the traditional challenges of follow-spot operation. With low-latency fiber-optic cabling, real-time tracking cursor and target cursor precisely locked onto every performer on stage. The multi-height mode enabled free adjustment of spot height when encountering steps, effortlessly handling the complex stage scheduling of the opening and closing ceremonies, ensuring every heartfelt performance by performers of all ethnic groups was clearly captured. The FINE 4000XF high-power follow spot was born for long-distance projection. Using a 4000W xenon lamp as its light source, it delivers a stable 6000K color temperature and a color rendering index of Ra ≥ 96. Suitable for live television recording, it provided solid assurance for CCTV's broadcast images with high-fidelity light quality, allowing audiences nationwide to feel the brilliant charm of ethnic art through the screen.

As the songs of all ethnic groups converge into the mighty power of unity, and as Chinese people on and off the screen join this covenant of one heart, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating every brilliant moment of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival, but also reflecting the contemporary atmosphere of the Chinese nation's diversity in unity and hearts building dreams together.

On the night of August 28, 2026, at the New City Center Square in Tashkent. The eight-pointed star stage resembles an unfurled national emblem, and the seven "Pishtaq" arches are awakened by light one after another, while the national flag rises slowly at the top of the central portal. Uzbekistan welcomes the night of its 35th anniversary of independence. On this night, light is not merely illumination; it is a national narrative painted on the canvas of the night sky.

The lighting design team closely followed the celebration theme "With a united homeland and a united people, we will build a new life, a new future!" Taking "Light of the East" as the underlying design logic, they adopted the blue, white, and green of the national flag as the base colors, combined the architectural aesthetics of Samarkand's blue domes, the intricate patterns of traditional textiles, and the radiant light of civilizational fusion along the Silk Road, and used light and shadow to create a visual feast imbued with a national ceremonial sense, an international aesthetic vision, and unique ethnic charm. The entire celebration was divided through the language of light and shadow into three narrative layers: Solemn Tribute, Joyous Celebration, and Future Hope. From warm gold to surging vermilion and emerald green, and then to a gradient of pale pink and light blue, light became the emotional thread running through the entire event, connecting the country's past, present, and future through light and shadow.

PART.01 Stage Design

The Eight-Pointed Star and Seven Arches:

Light Grows Out of Architecture

For the stage of a national-level celebration, a core question often arises: how can cultural symbols transform from "a background to be viewed" into "the subject of the narrative"? The traditional approach treats traditional architectural elements as stage backdrops, illuminated from the outside, with the symbols remaining passive and static. The solution presented by this celebration was to make the architecture itself a luminous body.

The stage design centers on the "eight-pointed star" main performance area, with overall high symmetry. The eight-pointed star is not only a core symbol in Uzbek national patterns but also an ultimate expression of geometric aesthetics. Using it as the stage floor form means there is no longer a single front to the viewing relationship; every angle is a front, and every gaze can reach the visual center.

The most core visual anchor is the seven "Pishtaq" Central Asian classical arches (C1–C7) on the stage. Pishtaq is commonly found on the front facades of Central Asian mosques, madrasas, and ancient city gates. The design team made them three-dimensional and stage-oriented, turning the entire stage into an "architectural national narrative." What the audience sees is not a temporary performance installation but a "city" belonging to Uzbekistan, completed jointly by light and structure.

Inside each of the C1–C7 arches, a large number of pixel strobe bars and framing lights are embedded. Light overflows from within the architecture rather than being illuminated from the outside. The arches are no longer silent scenery but an integral part of the stage's light environment itself; light grows out of the body of the architecture.

C4 is positioned in the center and is the largest in volume, with a rotatable flagpole at its top. After the flag-raising ceremony, the flagpole slowly returns to position through rotation, restoring C4's visual center of gravity to the lighting matrix. The rotation trajectory must avoid the installation points of the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP and FINE 600LH BSWF IP at the top, and the cable routing must be coordinated with the rotation axis so that the ceremonial action and the lighting layout do not interfere with each other.

The stage space is divided into multiple layers of depth: suspended roof systems on both sides of the stage, the main stage and lift in the middle, the audience seating and front-light structures in the front, and an extension to the riverbank area at the rear. Front, middle, rear, upper, and lower — five dimensions together form a complete three-dimensional performance space.

PART.02 Lighting Design

A Ceremony of Light for a National Celebration: Solemnity, Joy, and Hope

The lighting design was completed by the Dongyu Huaxing design team. The entire lighting scheme revolves around the core concept of "Light of the East," using the blue, white, and green of the Uzbek national flag as the base tones, and transforming the architectural aesthetics of Samarkand's blue domes, the intricate patterns of traditional textiles, and the blending light of Silk Road civilizations into three visualized narrative layers: Solemn Tribute, Joyous Celebration, and Future Hope.

Solemn Tribute: Warm gold overflows from inside the Pishtaq arches, outlining the contours of classical architecture with low illumination and high color rendering. The C4 flagpole becomes the visual endpoint of the entire venue.

Joyous Celebration: Vermilion and emerald green are released over large areas, with light rising, falling, rotating, and sweeping to the rhythm of traditional song and dance. As the dancers' skirts swirl, the light learns to rotate as well.

Future Hope: The lighting switches to soft mode, with a gradient from pale pink to light blue blooming under the night sky like the vitality of the younger generation. Finally, hundreds of drones form dynamic images in the night sky, echoing the ground lighting between heaven and earth, like a letter written to the future, lifted into the night sky by light.

To adapt to the complex structure of the eight-pointed star main stage and the seven Pishtaq arches, the lighting system adopted a zoned, all-dimensional lighting strategy. The zoning logic is not a simple spatial division but stems from the four different tasks that a national-level celebration demands of lighting: facial light precision, cross-zone projection, screen integration, and architectural luminescence. Each zone solves one specific problem.

Zone A (Front Light Zone)

Located on both sides behind the audience seating, the arc-arranged lighting towers handle facial lighting and follow-spot functions. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP is responsible for long-distance precise projection, ensuring uniform facial illumination for speakers and performers; the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP supplements large-area atmospheric wash lighting; the FINE 4037 PIXIE PLUS injects flowing light effects with its beam and wash two-in-one functionality; and the FINE 4000 XF follow spot locks onto the President's entrance and the leaders' speeches in real time.

Zone B (Roof System Zone)

This consists of 8 sets of aluminum alloy trusses suspended above and on both sides of the main stage, driven by 60 CNC electric hoists. The highest point of Zone B reaches 26 meters, forming a projection distance of nearly 80 meters from the Zone A audience seating. Conventional stages rarely extend the top-light structure to such a height and span, because long distance means light loss and precision attenuation. The design team took the opposite approach, using Zone B simultaneously for stage top lighting and VIP audience facial lighting. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP has an effective range of 100 meters, with Ra and R9 both reaching 95 or above. After crossing 80 meters, the light spot does not attenuate, providing uniform and soft facial light.

Zones K and P (LED Screen Zones)

These are the visual scrolls unfolding on both sides of the stage. Fourteen LED screens and eight fixed screens are arranged on the left and right. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP is positioned at the top of the middle-tier vertical screens, establishing a light ratio transition between the screens and the stage; the FINE 600 BSW II is densely distributed around the middle and upper screens, alternating with pixel strobe bars to extend the colors of the LED images into the stage space. The screens are no longer isolated luminous bodies but together with the Zone B top light and the Zone C arch light bands form a continuous light environment.

Zone C (Pishtaq Landscape Element Zone)

This is the key zone where the arches become luminous bodies. Inside each arch, FINE 1700LH BSWF IP, FINE 6019 PIXIE IP, FINE 600LH BSWF IP, pixel strobe bars, and laser lights are embedded. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP projects fine pattern textures; the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP lays out light and shadow transitions with free switching from a 3.2° beam to 65° wash; and pixel strobe bars form flowing light bands along the architectural edges. The installation angles of all fixtures are matched one by one to the curved surfaces of the arches, and the light paths are redesigned within a non-standard optical space, making the fixtures an integral part of the architectural components.

In addition to the three core zones, more than a hundred FINE 600 BSW II three-in-one moving head lights and FINE 150FT color professional footlights are deployed on the stage floor, responsible for ground dynamic beams and footlight supplementation. In the riverbank area, beam lights, wash lights, fog machines, and cold-flame fireworks work together to extend the ambient atmosphere of the entire square to the outermost edge.

PART.03 The World Journey of Domestic Fixtures

Light Through Wind and Sand:

FINE ART's Tashkent Answer Sheet

"The specifications for this celebration were extremely high, and the Uzbek government attached great importance to it. Coupled with the special local climate conditions, the technical indicators required of the selected equipment were very demanding. We always believed that domestic equipment was fully capable. The final result also proved that our choice was correct." Behind the lighting designer's calm tone lay a quiet certainty.

This certainty was no accident. Over the past decade, China's stage lighting industry has undergone a profound transformation from OEM to independent development, from following to running abreast. According to the China Entertainment Technology Association and related industry research reports, Chinese products account for more than 80% of the global stage lighting equipment market, of which 85% come from Guangdong. FINE ART, which grew up on this fertile manufacturing ground, has an overseas footprint that is itself a microcosm of Chinese stage lighting going global: from the 2019 Ho Chi Minh City Carnival Music Festival in Vietnam to the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, from Korea's MMA 2025 peak night to the 50th anniversary celebration of Vietnam's liberation and reunification, and to the modernized studio of Uzbekistan's ZO'R TV updated in 2023 — Chinese fixtures are becoming frequent guests on more and more national-level stages and top-tier performing arts events.

This Uzbekistan Independence Day celebration, as a national-level event, imposed multiple hard requirements on the fixtures: broadcast-grade color rendering and consistency, stability in extreme environments, dimming linearity in the low-brightness range, and long-distance high-precision framing. The Tashkent site provided the verification.

High Color Rendering Index and Consistency — The values of Ra and R9 are not just parameters; they are the fundamental guarantee of whether facial skin tones in television images are natural and whether the national flag colors are accurate. Color consistency allows hundreds of fixtures to be turned on simultaneously without the need to correct color differences one by one, which is particularly valuable on site under tight schedules.

Dust Resistance and High-Temperature Resistance — Tashkent has large day-night temperature differences and frequent wind-blown sand. The fixtures maintained stable output during nearly a month of continuous operation. The audience does not see the erosion of wind and sand on the fixtures; what they see is light itself flowing freely as if undisturbed.

Delicacy of the Dimming Curve — The linear transition from 0% to 100% is smooth, especially the light-up and light-down in the low-brightness range, which determines whether each light change in the performance is a refined sense of breathing or a rigid mechanical switch. When the lighting needs to slowly awaken from a dark scene, any jump would break the solemnity of the ceremony.

The most intuitive verification came from the lighting scheme for the President's speech desk: the FINE 1700Ultra BSWF projected from 60 meters on each side, ultimately controlling the light spot within an area of less than one square meter. Sixty meters of distance, one square meter of precision, high edge sharpness, and spot quality without purple fringing — this was recognized by the Uzbek authorities. It is the innovative iterative achievement of FINE ART's optical imaging system and framing mechanical structure. In addition, when the designer exchanged views with Uzbek counterparts in Tashkent, the latter expressed clear recognition of domestic brands, especially FINE ART fixtures. This was not politeness but a signal worth recording: on the Central Asian stages along the Belt and Road, Chinese fixtures are no longer merely synonymous with "cost-effectiveness"; they have earned the respect of professional peers through technological strength.

From September 13 to 19, the 12th China Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Award National Acrobatics Competition and the 6th China Acrobatics Art Festival were held in Puyang. Twenty-six outstanding acrobatics troupes from across the country staged a showdown of the acrobatics world in Puyang, demonstrating the industry's excellence with superb skills and presenting a feast blending skill and aesthetics.

Held every three years, the China Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Award is a national professional literary and artistic award approved by the Central Committee and co-hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Acrobatics Association. It is the highest award in Chinese acrobatics and the most prestigious competition in the field. The competition was divided into Group A and Group B, with 13 acts in each group. Over two days, four rounds were held, and each act was performed twice.

During the competition, the participating teams, with breathtaking leaps and flips as their backbone and the aesthetics of contemporary cultural heritage as their soul, delivered an audio-visual feast in which traditional skills and modern art were deeply integrated. In rope acrobatics, performers leaped in unison with perfect coordination. Traditional feats such as bowl tossing on high unicycles, jar balancing, and bowl stacking, passed down through generations, saw performers complete throws, catches, stacks, and handstands in dynamic balance. Swing-bridge dives, springboard leaps, ground-ring passes, and shaking-bar rotations repeatedly pushed the limits of gravity. Each precise, clean technique froze the moment, leaving the audience holding their breath in amazement and truly feeling the thrill and brilliance of acrobatics, vividly interpreting the unique charm of acrobatics in the new era: "skill can reach the extreme, art can reach far."

In this feast at the pinnacle of acrobatics, two professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to safeguard every breathtaking moment. The FINE 1700ZL BSWF four-in-one framing light delivers a maximum output of 40,000 lm, supporting the vast space of the mobile theatre with abundant luminous flux. One rotating gobo wheel with 6 gobos plus white, combined with a continuously rotating dynamic effect wheel, simulates dynamic visual effects, giving every mid-air flight and leap greater tension and sense of speed through the flow of light and shadow. A framing system with four full framing blades can rotate the framing direction ±90°, producing sharp, distortion-free cut edges that precisely frame every highlight of the performers' airborne flips, revealing the solid skills honed through countless repetitions.

The FINE 1400 PERF framing light has a 140mm output lens and a total luminous flux output greater than 35,000 lm. Its unique optical design produces a uniform light spot and can achieve a frost effect by adjusting focus without changing the beam size or luminous flux output. CMY infinite color mixing and CTO linear color temperature adjustment cover 2700K to 6500K. One rotating gobo wheel with 5 bi-directionally rotating positioning gobos works with one dynamic effect wheel, rendering the transitions between motion and stillness in acrobatic performances with clear layers, achieving a subtle balance between the thrills of high-difficulty skills and the aesthetics of acrobatic art in soft frosted light.

When all four rounds ended and applause and cheers echoed through the Water Show Park, FINE ART used light as a brush, not only illuminating every brilliant moment of the peak showdown among the 26 teams, but also reflecting the contemporary spirit of Chinese acrobatics: "skill can reach the extreme, art can reach far."

On the evening of March 3, the "2026 CMG Lantern Festival Gala" arrived as promised. Centered around the theme of "Joyfully Celebrating the Lantern Festival," the event integrated the warm tones of reunion and harmony into a vibrant mix of song and dance, opera, sketches, and magic performances, accompanying global Chinese audiences in celebrating the Lantern Festival.

Following their outstanding performance at the Spring Festival Gala, Colorful Technology's high-quality luminaires once again illuminated the CMG Lantern Festival Gala. With innovative lighting effects, they helped create this cultural family feast where traditional charm and modern vitality intertwine. The FINE 1700LH BSWF and FINE 600 BSW IP provided exceptional color rendering, the FINE 4019 PIXIE and FINE 6019 PIXIE delivered stunning visual effects, and the FINE ISPOT PILOT ground followspot system ensured smooth and precise tracking, collectively providing full support for the stage presentation.

The gala seamlessly integrated folk customs such as viewing lanterns and solving lantern riddles throughout the program. The opening song and dance, "Perfect Lantern Festival," recreated scenes of bustling joy in the streets. In the song "Thousands of Lanterns in Every Home," fish-shaped lanterns and dragon lanterns blossomed one after another, showcasing the vibrant energy of the lantern festival. The creatively arranged opera song "Night of Flowing Spring River, Blossoms, and Full Moon" masterfully blended the vocal styles of Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, singing of hopeful wishes for blooming flowers and a radiant full moon.

To perfectly present these visual spectacles, multiple professional luminaires from Colorful Technology worked in powerful synergy. The FINE 1700LH BSWF multi-function profile lights, with their powerful beams reaching up to 100 meters and exceptional color rendering (Ra and R9 both greater than 95), accurately restored the brilliant colors of the lanterns and the expressive performances of the actors, making thousands of lanterns shine brightly on stage.

The FINE 600 BSW IP multi-function luminaires, with their sharp light quality and clear gobo imaging, provided precise visual focus for both opera segments and modern song and dance performances. Their ability to switch between beam and pattern modes with virtually no light loss allowed them to effortlessly meet the lighting demands of different programs, enabling traditional opera charm and melodies to blend seamlessly through light and shadow.

The ground followspot system, FINE ISPOT PILOT, truly demonstrated its capabilities. It allowed for simultaneous remote control of multiple followspots from ground level, achieving millisecond-level precise tracking. Whether following the melodious arias of renowned opera performers or the lively movements of song and dance artists, every highlight moment was clearly captured, ensuring no detail was missed.From thousands of glittering lanterns to the warmth of family reunions, Colorful Technology used the language of light and shadow to allow global Chinese audiences to feel the warmth of the Lantern Festival and the charm of culture amidst a dazzling interplay of brilliance.

On the eve of the 2026 Chinese New Year, the China Media Group Spring Festival Gala, themed "Galloping into the Future with Unstoppable Momentum," delivered a heartwarming cultural feast of reunion for global Chinese audiences.

The millennium-old literary heritage nourishes the lands of Jianghuai, and poetic fervor heralds the arrival of the new spring. On January 24, 2026, during the 2026 Spring Festival celebrations, the inaugural Anhui Poetry Gala, titled "Poetic Anhui, Spring Blossoms in Feidong," concluded successfully in Feidong. With poetry as its medium, the gala integrated the cultural charm of Anhui, presenting a cultural feast that blended tradition with modernity.

The entire gala primarily featured folk art troupes from across the province, offering diverse and life-oriented performances. Highlights included the theatrical piece "Poetry Gathering at the Spring Banquet" from Ningguo, the dramatic recitation "Timeless Poetic Sentiment" from Suzhou, the song and dance "Spring Plowing Song" from Chizhou, the dance "Treading in Song" from Jing County, the Peking Opera-inspired song "Ode to the Mume Blossom" from Huaibei, the Huangmei opera song "Though Miles Apart, We Share the Beauty" from Lu'an, the Huangmei opera song "Ballad of the Floating Raft" from Feidong County, and the dramatic recitations "China Under the Moonlight," "Ideal," and "Ode to the Yellow River." Each performance showcased the unique cultural confidence and spiritual character of the people of Jianghuai. The group crosstalk "The Beauty of Anhui," presented by tourism ambassadors from Feidong, Lu'an, Chizhou, Xuancheng, and Anqing, humorously unveiled the charm of Anhui. During the interactive segment "Couplets in Anhui," poets were invited to create couplets inspired by the "Five Major Cultures of Anhui," which calligraphers then penned on-site and presented to Feidong's "Good Samaritans of China" and "Moral Models." Additionally, renowned recitation artist Wei Min delivered "Dream Journey to Tianmu Mountain" with grandeur, capturing the essence of the Poet Immortal's spirit. Distinguished Hui opera performer and Plum Blossom Award winner Wang Yuzhu presented "The Poetic Heart of the Land," using his voice to paint a tribute to the magnificent landscape.

In this poetry gala, steeped in the rich hues of a millennium-old literary tradition, over 130 professional lighting fixtures from CAYLED Technology played a deep role in every aspect, from creating artistic conception and building emotional layers to elevating climactic moments. Among them, the FINE 1700LH BSWF, with its exceptional range of over 100 meters and high color rendering capabilities (Ra and R9 both exceeding 95), effortlessly handled large-span stages, using high-fidelity lighting to outline the dignified presence of the reciters.

The FINE 4037 WASH PLUS wash light, with its smooth and even color blending and hundreds of preset effect macros, allowed lighting designers to swiftly dress the stage in warm, lively, or profound emotional tones, transforming the abstract imagery of poetry into perceptible, immersive atmospheres. The FINE 320 BEAM beam light emitted sharp, full-bodied, and highly penetrating beams, powerfully focusing emotions of glory, tribute, or inspiration at the center of the stage, forming an awe-inspiring visual focal point.

On December 31, 2025, under the hues of night and snow, the ancient capital of Xi'an, steeped in the history of thirteen dynasties, unfurled like a flowing musical movement. The "Journey with Hui 2026 New Year Celebration Concert" used music as its brush and the landscape as its canvas, composing the year's journeys, emotions, and warmth into resonating harmonies that touched the heart.

Journey with Hui joined forces with acclaimed musicians including Gong Linna, Huang Ling, Chang Sisi, He Guofeng, and Salina, in collaboration with two major orchestras—the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Xi'an Symphony Orchestra. The event also featured special performances by renowned opera artists Hou Hongqin and Xia Yuanyuan, young dancers TaoTao & CiCi, and Yang Liping Dance Company principal Qiao Yueyu. This musical journey masterfully blended the melodies of folk music, the grandeur of a symphony, and the depth of Chinese opera, co-creating a unique aesthetic atmosphere that carries both profound historical weight and vibrant contemporary vitality.

When Gong Linna's ethereal vocals required tangible visual expression, or when the symphonic orchestra's majestic movements called for visual amplification, Caiyi Technology's FINE 1700LH BSWF 4-in-1 moving head became the "precise brushstroke" in this aesthetic feast. Integrating beam, wash, pattern, and framing functions, and boasting exceptional color rendering with both Ra and R9 exceeding 95, it ensured that every detail—from the intricate embroidery on the opera masters' costumes to every play of light and shadow on the dancers' movements—was rendered with the most authentic and vibrant colors. The powerful output from its large 207mm exit lens could either bathe the stage in a foundational wash for folk melodies, reminiscent of ink wash painting, or respond to modern rhythms with crisp framing shapes. This enabled the concert, which fused classical and contemporary elements, to achieve a high degree of audiovisual unity and artistic within a stable and richly layered lighting environment.

From the lingering ancient charm beneath thousand-year-old city walls to the powerful contemporary notes of the symphony, and further to the dance vocabulary bridging past and present, Caiyi Technology, through its high-quality FINE 1700LH BSWF luminaires, not only illuminated the stage but also served as the connective "light of the stage," seamlessly integrating diverse art forms and blending history with the contemporary.

On December 31, 2025, the grand Chinese-style narrative of Setting Sail 2026—The China Media Group New Year's Eve Gala commenced amidst the vast Loess Plateau of Lüliang, Shanxi. For the first time, the CMG New Year's Eve Gala was hosted in this location, adopting the theme "Backbone of Mountains and Rivers" and integrating its stage into the real gullies and ridges of the landscape. Innovatively employing a "1+N" multi-location linkage format, the four-and-a-half-hour gala was divided into four chapters—"Spring's Beginning," "Summer's Blaze," "Autumn's Harvest," and "Winter's Warmth"—resembling a symphonic poem of the era interwoven with revolutionary heritage, geographical wonders, and youthful vitality.

Behind this flowing visual tapestry, a sophisticated lighting system composed of over 800 professional luminaires from Caiyi Technology served as the essential yet unseen artisan, transforming creative blueprints into stunning reality. The four chapters demanded distinctly different color palettes and atmospheres. Caiyi's 4-in-1 moving heads, such as the FINE 1700CF BSWF and FINE 1400LH BSWF, leveraged their exceptional color fidelity (CRI Ra≥95, R9≥90) and CMY continuous color mixing systems to precisely blend hues—the hopeful verdure of spring, the blazing intensity of summer sun, the golden glow of autumn harvest, and the warm radiance of winter hearths. This ensured the color transitions perfectly mirrored the emotional arc, establishing the foundational visual texture for the entire gala.

For traditional feats like Face-Changing, where every split-second detail is paramount, and for explosive songs like Setting Off Immediately, the FINE 600 BSW IP 3-in-1 luminaires played a crucial role. Their sharp beams and clear pattern projection capability allowed them to lock onto performers like followspots, ensuring every head turn and sleeve flourish became a focal point. When the lighthearted melodies of songs like Girl Over There Look This Way, Peach Blossoms in Bloom, and Living with Ease began, the stage required an instant switch to a lively, interactive atmosphere. The FINE 6019 PIXIE IP, with its smooth 0-100% linear dimming and wide linear CCT adjustment from 2500K to 8000K, rapidly bathed the stage in a warm, bright, and uniform foundational light, allowing classics to regain vitality within its glow.

When artists like Zhou Shen and Jam Hsiao took the stage, pushing the gala to successive climaxes, lighting transformed into the energy engine igniting the entire venue. The FINE 1200C STROBE IP effects light shone brilliantly. Its 10 segments with a total 700W high-power white light could unleash a stunning luminous flux exceeding 100,000 lumens. Combined with 40 RGB color pixels and hundreds of built-in effect macros, it could instantly create magnificent scenes akin to a galaxy cascading or auroras dancing, fully visualizing the surging energy of the music and turning the stage into a boiling point of youth and passion.
