What a great event this was! The colors and live patterns on the LED walls morphed all night long. After dinner there was a fully lit dance floor and guests gathered for an evening fun and dancing.

A Large but Sustainable Brand Launch Event for Microsoft 

Hollywood Lighting Services recently completed a large low-energy lighting set up for Microsoft, Inc, for a brand rollout event. “Bing,” Microsoft’s new search engine that has been launched to compete with popular sites such as Google and Yahoo, has a distinctive logo that was presented in a very-large format. 

“It needed to be extremely bright, but draw as little power as possible. It also had to be animated, said Dwayne Thomas, president of Hollywood Lighting Services. “Traditional projectors or LED video would not have done the trick and would have 
been prohibitively expensive, so we decided to do an end around to get to the 
solution.” 

The LED logo array was over 60′ wide when finished, and the entire job was installed and ready to show in less than a day. 

As seen in the event photograph, the beam of light from the logo was significantly brighter than that of the nearby pod of (20) 7,000w searchlights in the top right-hand side of the photo. However, the logo consumed on average less than 10% of the energy of the searchlight beam, changed color and played back video, and, of course, had the added bonus of actually spelling something! 

The logo was filmed via Helicopter for future advertising use.

Hollywood Lighting Services is proud to be the oldest and largest event lighting production, rental, and sales operation in the Northwest, and operates as a sustainable business both in internal practices as well as through innovative low- energy and high-efficiency product offerings. In June 2008, HLS was certified by Recycleworks as a green company.
