My name is Michael Graham and I have tried broccoli for the first time ever this week. I ended up liking it.
For the past 37 years I have avoided it like it was some kind of evil stalk of green nastiness on my plate. I have been watching my son actually ask for it for dinner. He’s 5 and at that age, aren’t kids supposed to not want veggies? So I convinced myself to try it. We had ordered take out one night and in there was some chicken with broccoli. While I was dishing everyone’s out, I psyched myself up and ate some. All in all, not bad. You all should have seen the look on my wife’s face. She has been trying for the past 10 years to get me to eat more veggies.
How does this relate to lighting?, you may ask. Well, oddly enough, I think that we often feel the same way about new lighting products or ideas. We get it into our heads that there is only one way to design a show and we have our favorite lights that we like to do it with. We get into a rut and forget that there is more than one way to skin a cat. It is important to take that first bite of broccoli and try new stuff. We as an industry are so lucky to have as many new products as we do. Year after year.
Look around at what else is going on out there. When is the last time you said, “Wow, that pencil sharpener industry is really evolving.” It is critical for us all on both sides of this blog to try new stuff and not get stuck in the same old same old.
So, come on, try something new. You might be surprised at how cool it is.
P.S. We are launching some really cool new pencil sharpeners at InfoComm this week. Come by, I would love to show you how they work.
Here is a quick shot of some behind-the-scenes action at InfoComm 2012. It’s our booth, C11301, which will be open to the public in two days.Stay tuned for more…

CHAUVET Professional fixtures light up the Fort of San Diego, a historic monument in downtown Acapulco, Mexico. Designed in the shape of a five-point star, the former 17th century Spanish fortress acquires a modern vibe at night, under the vivid colors from 55 luminaires. Installed at the base of the walls, 50 COLORado 3p IP LED-fitted fixtures wash in saturated hues the stone façades, while five SkyScan 4000 Xenon-sourced search lights shoot beams of light from each of the five points of the fortress. All fixtures were provided by Novelties company, in Mexico.
Sixteen CHAUVET Professional Legend 412 moving heads projected powerful beams and striking, pixel-mapping effects as Skrillex rocked the house during the South By Southwest 2012 AM Only Showcase. Justin Jenkins, lighting designer for Creative Production and Design, specified 12 Legend 412 moving heads for backlighting while the remaining four fixtures created audience pixel-mapping effects and downlit the high-energy show.
“We chose Legend 412 fixtures because of their RGBW LEDs and quadrant-control capability,” Jenkins said. “As far as what we were able to achieve with programming, we were really happy with how well these lights complemented the show.”
About 100 ILUMINARC wash lights color the domed courtyard at the five-star MGM Macau Casino & Hotel in Macau, China. The 1,088-square-meter court has a distinctive Old World feel, inspired by Portugal’s Central train station in Lisbon. MGM calls it the “soul” of the resort. Matt Levesque, lighting designer and founder of First Circle Design, LLC, in Newport, Calif., selected 95 color-changing Ilumipanel 180 IP wash lights to downlight and sidelight the plaza’s manicured landscape, pathways and the building facades surrounding it. Watch how the lights turn the plaza into a fairy-tale-like realm and add a magical touch of color.
