The stage for Miss Venezuela Pageant got even spicier with the addition of 18 CHAUVET Professional fixtures, used as principal backlighting and downlighting by Lighting Designer Roberto Penso. Trying to find suitable lights to work around the low-height ceiling at Hotel Intercontinental in Caracas, Penso tested CHAUVET Professional Q-Wash 560Z-LED fixtures—provided by VLPS of Venezuela—and decided they were perfect for the show. “The colors and the brightness are spectacular,” Penso said. “They change colors very fast, have great saturation, and perform in sync all the time. The Q-Wash 560Z-LED moving yokes were the only lights in the show that didn’t fail.”
