Sun Effects uses Elation Proteus luminaires for a variety of events

Sun Effects of Finland - a design and production house that offers visual designs and concept-to-execution solutions from offices in Helsinki and Tokyo - sought a line of outdoor-rated moving head luminaires that could withstand Finland’s weather conditions and therefore turned to Elation’s Proteus line.

 

Sun Effects acquired Elation’s multi-functional arc-source moving head, the Proteus Hybrid, in 2018 to address their needs but when they saw the 50,000-lumen Proteus Maximus LED luminaire at the Prolight + Sound show in 2019, they decided to invest in this one as well. They now use the Proteus Maximus in a number of ways - to texture an area, as a sky light, or as a more traditional moving light.

 

The Maximus has featured in multiple applications, one of them a light art piece, “Vapaa”, by Ainu Palmu, a Helsinki-based light artist, where the fixtures were used for white light animation with custom gobos. It has also been utilized ‘up north’ where the temperature drops to minus 30 degrees Celsius.

 

The Polar Night Light Festival saw the luminaires lighting up mountainsides at Ruka Ski Resort exposed to blowing snow and immense winds. Just after their acquisition in 2019, they were employed at the Flow Festival, an urban music and arts festival in Helsinki.
