On Thursday I left from school with Brady for Las Vegas for the weekend of Live Design International 2014. I got to stay at the Luxor that night because I had a complimentary room which was a great opportunity since I had never stayed there or even been in there before. After getting checked into my room I went out to wander the floor and also grab a bite to eat. While walking around, I was admiring the architecture of the pyramid itself and all of it's glory. It was astounding the size and detail that was put into the building of the structure. Then came the lighting, with which I was not at all impressed. The majority of the lighting inside the Luxor is done with fluorescent tubes which flattens out the detail and hardworking that has been put into the work. I felt like it was a cheap and quick way of designing that didn't work. The lighting could have enhanced the architecture so much more with either using a warmer light such as an incandescent or by adding more character fixtures to hide the accent fixtures.
Also here are some cool pictures from LDI just for a look really. Nothing too special this year mostly just everyone integrating LEDs in their products. Although Clay Paky had a line up that was pretty awesome with two new moving lights and an LED strobe with RGB capabilities. ETC was a little lacking with an exception to the Series 2 Lustr, of which they added a new color into the mixing palette: lime, which allowed colors to have the same saturation without losing intensity by using lime instead of white.
The pictures are of American DJ and ROBE and are only for viewing purposes because they didn't have anything worth mentioning.
Awesome photos! I stayed at the Luxor a few years ago for LDI and was also very disappointed with the lighting design in the interior. They could do so much more! Great LDI pics! I wish I could've gone!
