FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Eventions Releases New LED Event Lighting Solution
Philadelphia, PA - October 7, 2010
Eventions Productions, a top Philadelphia event production company, announces the release of their newest lighting fixture – The LED12. It was shown for the first time at an event at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The LED12 is revolutionary in that it is the first LED fixture that has a perfectly neutral white light. In the past, LED fixtures attempted to create white light by using a combination of red, blue and green bulbs. It was impossible to create truly white light by using this method.
The LED12 features 12 three watt white LEDs in a custom designed enclosure that holds the light fixture and a battery, enabling the fixture to operate for over 10 hrs on a single charge. The LED12 also has a snap in gel frame to allow lighting designers to color it any color as well as multiple frosted and clear lenses to alter the shape of the beam.
“The LED12 has a tremendous number of advantages for the special event market,” exclaims Eventions’ President, Brian Toner. The fact that we can light an entire event using no electricity from the venue nor any cables that would need to be hidden or taped down allows us to light spaces and events that were either impossible or prohibitvely expensive before. For example, at the event we did a few nights ago at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we uplit 28 columns, the stairs and food stations in less than 20 minutes of setup. The client loved the quick turnaround, decreased labor needed and the complete absence of cabling.”
Photographers and Videographers will also greatly apprecriate the fact that the lights are perfectly uniform in color and do not appear to strobe as most LED lights do when filmed by video cameras.
Decorators, florists and event planners in the Philadelphia region who have seen the LED12’s in action are immediately impressed with their capabilities and have been reserving them for many upcoming events. “With decreased budgets and clients being cautious of where they spend money, as well as the fact that the labor to install these fixtures is about 1/10 of a traditional uplight, we see a huge market for the LED 12’s,” says Toner.
The fixture was created by the team at Eventions over a six month period. The LED12’s utilize cutting edge battery technology and charging systems. The fixtures feature LED Bulbs utilizing state of the art optical collimators, which allow the light to be focused into a tight beam much like a light house lens does.
Eventions has completed the first run of 48 fixtures and expects to eventually replace all of its uplighting with the new technology within a few months. Shown below are the fixtures in their custom designed travel cases with built-in charging systems.
About the event: On Wednesday, September 29th, The Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Office of Special Events and Stephen STARR Events, hosted an open house for the area’s top event professionals. Event decor was provided by Table Art and photography was provided by Marie Labbancz.

Playing With Light
July 07, 2010
A few months ago I was talking to Beka Rendell and Kimberly Fink of Innove Events about doing an out of the box night time photo shoot using a lot of lighting. We have done quite a few events at Andalusia, an amazing estate on the Delaware River. The events were always in a tent by the river but the estate has many other spectacular areas that beg for some great lighting. In fact there is this amazing abandoned walled grapery that would be incredible for a wedding or a chic party. If you’re looking for a location that has never had an event in it, we already have the lighting design worked out for the grapery!!!
An A-list team was formed to play around one night and see what we could come up with. The always amazing Marie Labbancz offered to capture the magic. Beka and Kimberly organized everything and Kathy from Table Art provided the gorgeous flowers. Claudia Seyler worked her magic on the models hair and makeup.
The shoot was divided between day and night time shots. The day locations are being submitted to national publications and will be shown in the future, but I did want to show you a quick glimpse of some of the night shots. The team used the mausoleum on the property as inspiration for a Twilight / True Blood look. A little fog and some dramatic lighting really made the look!
This wall,which is over 100 years old and located in the grapery, is over 25 feet tall. The pictures capture how some simple lighting can bring out the texture and architecture of a space. A little variation in color can make an image look vastly different.

Behind The Scenes Pilot 2
March 04, 2010
Pilot Week 2
After a successful location survey and brainstorming meeting with the client, we got to work on planning the look of the set. Our set designer created a hand drawing showing the colors and look of the set pieces. The final size of the stage set will be 60’ wide and 20’ tall.
This was then imported into a 3D CAD rendering program to allow us to show the client exactly what the room will look like. Our audio and lighting designers also used the CAD drawings to select and place the proper equipment for outstanding results. On our bigger events, designing and planning the event on CAD (Computer Aided Design) allows us to visualize the event in detail before we set foot in the room to begin production.

The center part of the set will be a representation of the of “joke wall” that was a main feature of the original show. Included in the set are hidden doors that will open so that people can stick their heads out and tell jokes.
We also designed the stage to be handicap accessible to allow the CEO to be onstage and involved with the production.
We followed the client’s request to have the video screens appear like TV consoles from the 70’s.
