Element Lab’s popular Stealth display was recently specified as the “ideal solution for a disappearing LED screen” by lighting designer Jon Barker on the Scouting For Girls’ 2008 tour.  

London-based indie pop band Scouting For Girls (SFG) recently completed a 5-week UK tour that saw them play to more than 100,000 fans across the country. With a Double Platinum debut album, a nomination for MTV’s “Best New Act” category and a number one hit, fans attending the sold-out concerts no doubt expected a spectacular show to match the band’s stellar reputation.

Lighting Designer Jon Barker was tasked with delivering the show’s visual “Wow!” factor. Specifying 8 Stealth columns, which “disappeared” when not in use to reveal the lighting fixtures behind the screen, Barker put together a dazzling show that seamlessly blended the use of video and lighting to achieve a wide array of luminous, resplendent looks that superbly enhanced the band’s performance.

Says Barker: "When I came up with the design concept for the tour, I was after a low-resolution video screen that was in effect see-though and would simply 'disappear' when it was not in use, allowing me to use the fixtures I had placed behind the screens (a selection of 4-way Molefay with Colour Scrollers, 2kw Skypans and Strand S Batterns with clear globe lamps all rigged at different heights) as a 'hidden layer' that would pop out when illuminated."
