Moodbidri, Jul 23: Over all, entertainment industry is a vast playing field with increasing volume. There is a need for change in thinking, work way and technology innovation for the future growth. One of the key requirements of the entertainment industry is lighting. From live, recorded broadcasting to theatre and music festivals, lighting is one of the most important aspect.
Similar to other technologies, there is a constant demand for dynamic and ever changing professional lighting solutions. But this comes with a literal cost, as professional lighting gets less and less affordable.
