Osram to Illuminate the Eurovision Song Contest

By -
OSRAM to illuminate as the official lighting partner the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, this year to be held in Vienna:


Spectacular stage and light shows are a traditional fixture of this major media event. As the Official Lighting Partner, OSRAM is responsible for the majority of the lighting this year.With an expected audience of 200 million, the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) will this year be once again a great TV entertainment show. Last year's winner – pop artist and drag queen Conchita Wurst - came from Austria, so the 60th ESC will be taking place from the 18th to 23th May in Austria. 
In particular, this includes show lighting from OSRAM subsidiary Clay Paky, which will make the Eurovision Song Contest and its stars a glorious feast for the eyes. 
The products from the Italian event lighting specialist, which has an outstanding reputation in the international entertainment industry and has provided lighting for shows by such legends as Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams, will be in use in the Vienna Stadthalle not only in the final but also in the semi-finals. 
"We transform the largest entertainment spectacle in the world into the largest lighting technology event with our light systems," commented Hans-Joachim Schwabe, CEO of OSRAM Specialty Lighting. 
"We want to turn the show into a really unforgettable event for the audience,” he said.
For many years Clay Paky products have been used for the ESC and continue to set new standards in event lighting. This applies also this year for the ESC, which has been designed as a green event where energy efficient products are to be used.

Lightify in the’Eurovision Village’

OSRAM is also showcasing its lighting expertise away from the venue in Vienna. OSRAM will be presenting its Lightify LED lighting system in the ‘Eurovision Village’ at the Rathausplatz in the centre of the city. 
Up to 20,000 visitors are expected here in the evenings to view the contest on huge screens. On a smartphone app they can try out the lighting control option in a unique way by using the app to ‘vote’ and show support for each of the contestants during the final shows on a scale from one to twelve. 
The results of the voting will be translated into a colour and the Rathausplatz will then be bathed in light of this colour. Red light signifies maximum points, and blue toward the other end of the spectrum indicates one point.
Commented Timon Rupp, Head of the Lightify Innoventure at OSRAM: "The ESC is the ideal platform for Lightify. Young people can use light to boost the excitement of a major event and add another emotional layer.
"In this way, OSRAM and Lightify provide impressive confirmation of the company's powers of innovation,” he said.

CoeLux’s artificial skylights have rocked the industry due to their convincing reproduction of sunlight. Now the company has launched a new version that aims to be just as successful at recreating the night sky. CoeLux Moon is being launched at Euroluce 2017, which is currently taking place in Milan. ‘The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at,' commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation.
