Ayrton illuminates Spain's qualification for the Olympic Games in the FIBA ​​Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2024

From July 2 to 7, the FIBA ​​Olympic Qualifying 2024 was held in Valencia, a qualifying tournament that brought together some of the most talented basketball teams in the world, competing for a place in the next Olympic Games. Between intense matches and raw emotions, the event culminated with the victory of the Spanish team, which secured its place at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games where we will be able to fight for the long-awaited medal. The tournament not only stood out for the level of competition, but also for its innovative use of lighting technology.

Stonex was represented at this event with Ayrton and his 24 Diablo, supplied by colleagues TS Audiovisuals that intensified the experience.

The decision to use the Diablo S was mainly influenced by the high quality of light they offer, their power and, crucially, their weight.. In events like this, where the support structure has load limitations, The power-to-weight ratio of the Diablo S was ideal. These luminaires combine compact size with high power, allowing for a more flexible and efficient lighting design.

The 24 Diablo S were strategically placed around the perimeter of the field, allowing the lighting effects to impact both the crowd and the court simultaneously.. Additionally, they were installed in two L-shaped structures within the field, creating corridors of light with the Diablo S blades. This setup was used spectacularly during the teams' presentation, providing a sensational visual effect.

The choice of the Diablo S over other options was due to several differentiating characteristics. Its compact size and high power with very little weight were crucial, especially since they needed to have gobos and a wide range of colors.. The versatility and performance of these fixtures made them the best choice for the event's requirements.

One of the biggest challenges in the design of the project was the precise coordination of the movements of the luminaires at exact times. The reliability of the Diablo S was essential to face this challenge. Its ability to maintain defined and consistent movements ensured that each lighting effect was executed to perfection, elevating the viewing experience of the FIBA ​​Olympic Qualifying Valencia to a new level..

Ayrton's 24 Diablo S not only met the technical demands of the event, but also provided an additional dimension of spectacle and excitement, highlighting the importance of lighting in creating memorable sports experiences.
