When the City Club of Cleveland moved to a new location in Cleveland’s Playhouse Square district, it needed lighting that would be comfortable for those on stage while providing broadcast-quality illumination for the speakers as well as live streams and local PBS rebroadcasts.
David Walters, Regional Sales Manager at iVideo, a leading supplier of audio/video technology based in Cleveland, recommended Brightline lighting for the job. “We all knew we’d use LED lights,” said Walters, “but the stage couldn’t look like a TV Studio. It had to be lit in a way that allows the in-person attendees and virtual audiences to experience the event without it being overly bright or a distraction for those on stage.”
Walters decided on Brightline SeriesONE L1.2 studio fixtures. Twelve L1.2 lights now hang overhead in the Forum Room. The DMX controls, ease of use, and an improved, overall look made the strongest impression on City Club staff and colleagues. “Our partners at Ideastream Public Media, who produce our forums, greatly appreciate the color temperature control and ease of use,” They are very happy with the way the show is lit for broadcast.”
“The feedback from the staff has been that the lights look great and are very easy to use,” said Maria Gerstenberger, Digital Content Manager, the City Club of Cleveland. “We just slide faders to adjust the lighting. Anyone from the staff can work with them, not just those in production or part of our technical crew.
