Not all effects come in a box.

Some require something a little bigger 💧

Here is one of our integrated water distribution systems, engineered especially for the life-like canal at the Birmingham Commonwealth Opening Ceremony. Luke Mills, the Technical Director for the ceremonies, said that Luminous 'provided a service that was beyond expectations'!

Not every part of a show is designed to be seen, but it all needs to perform. These systems do the heavy lifting behind the scenes, ensuring everything on stage runs smoothly and consistently.

We were very excited to see this concept from Cirque Bijou come to life 🎪🌧️

For their R&D photoshoot last month, they used one of our HYDRA-STORM units. A piano suspended mid-air, raining down towards a performer, captures exactly what the rain machine was designed for: controlled chaos!

It’s always exciting to see our technology pushed into creative storytelling like this.

Huge thanks to Cirque Bijou and Andre Pattenden for capturing and sharing such powerful visuals.
