Eight Novalight High Ground fixtures are among nearly 1700 lighting units being supplied by PRG for the spectacular Robbie Williams "Close Encounters" stadium tour.

These were sold to PRG by UK distributors Lightfactor Sales - PRG is the first UK hire company to invest in these new spotlight-effect  fixtures. Al Gurdon's lighting design for Robbie Williams has the High Grounds placed at the base of the PA wings either side of stage, used for large audience sweeps. Lighting for the tour is being operated by Richard Gorrod using a Virtuoso console.

The DMX-controlled Novalight High-Ground uses a 2,000W MSR light source and outputs 174,000 lumens. The moving yoke version pans 540° in 3.2 seconds and tilts 262° in 2.9 seconds, making it a very agile fixture. The unit offers five dichroic colors and white, plus shutter and strobe effects; another advantage is that there's no central black hole when the beam is opened to maximum.
