LED lights for outdoor Shakespeare festival

[Ohmelville]

This is a great site!

Does anyone know of outdoor theatres using predominantly LED lighting for stage productions?

I am sure it is being done somewhere, however...LED's have a rather weak out put of light. Though technology is improving it is still not bright enough to over come most indoor theatre environments much less outdoor with fading light conditions.

Personally I have not seen any LED fixtures used in outdoor applications beside in concerts and those are focused on the audience, typically for eye candy.

Here's a picture from last night. It is using only two LED fixtures.

The fixtures used are the 420BI which feature 60 diodes (one watt or three watt, these were one watt) in a RGBAW configuration.

The 420BI is an indoor model whereas the 420B is an outdoor model rated at ip65.
