Case Study: Transforming a City Concert with XNK’s Custom Lighting Setup
邓永珍
When a leading event organizer approached XNK Lighting to design the lighting for a 10,000-person city concert, the goal was clear: create a visually stunning, immersive experience that matched the artist’s high-energy performance style while adhering to strict venue safety regulations. Here’s how we delivered a solution that exceeded expectations.
Project Challenges
- Venue Constraints: The concert was held in a historic city square with height limits (no fixtures over 12 meters) and restricted wiring to protect heritage structures.
- Performance Requirements: The artist’s setlist included 25 songs with distinct moods, requiring 30+ lighting scenes to be switched in under 2 seconds per transition.
- Weather Risks: The event was scheduled for a rainy season, so all fixtures needed IP65 weather protection without compromising brightness.
XNK’s Custom Solution
- Compact, High-Height Fixtures: We deployed XNK’s low-profile moving head lights (height: 35cm) that could be mounted on 10-meter trusses, staying within the venue’s height limits. These fixtures delivered 200W of brightness, ensuring visibility even in the open square.
- Syncable Scene Control: Our team pre-programmed 40 lighting scenes into the XNK smart control system, which synced with the artist’s audio track via DMX integration. The system achieved scene transitions in 1.5 seconds, keeping pace with the performance’s fast rhythm.
- Weather-Resistant Setup: All fixtures were IP65-rated, with additional waterproof covers for connection ports. We also installed rain sensors that automatically adjusted light intensity to avoid glare from wet surfaces.
Event Outcomes
- The concert received a 98% satisfaction rating from attendees, with 72% highlighting the lighting as the “most memorable part” of the event.
- The organizer reported a 30% increase in social media engagement due to the viral photos and videos of the lighting display.
- All safety regulations were met, with zero technical failures during the 3-hour performance.
This case demonstrates how XNK’s combination of technical expertise, custom design, and durable products can turn even the most constrained venues into unforgettable event spaces.
