How the Green Solutions Grant Programme has helped them:
The lighting upgrade has made a significant difference to the quality of our lighting rig, with the visual improvement clear during our recent pantomime. Our lighting rig takes up a great amount of power, as it is used six days a week for performances; so, the saving from switching to LEDs will result in huge savings on our bills and less carbon emissions. We will also see a reduction in maintenance/failures that came with our previous old equipment, and dangers from working at height will now also be reduced greatly, as we are able to remotely change colour from the console.
