Stagelight applies Robert Juliat Merlin followspots

Stagelight AG of Switzerland has been celebrating the receipt of the very first Robert Juliat Merlin followspots to roll off the production line. Merlin is Robert Juliat’s new 2500 W HMI sturdy followspot designed specifically for the touring market. At Lucerne’s Light and Sound Show in October 2014, Stagelight had placed an order for four of the 2500 W HMI from Robert Juliat’s Swiss supplier, Electric Claudio Merlo.

The Merlin followspots arrived in time for the Swiss Festival season and have been put to full-time use from the day they arrived. “Our very first use for the Merlins was Olly Murs’ show in Bern,” says Stagelight’s Managing Director, Peter Lemmenmeier. “We then took them to Open Air St. Gallen, one of the oldest festivals in Switzerland for which Stagelight has been providing lighting for the last thirty years.” The Merlins were rigged front of house and used on a line up of bands which included Placebo, Paolo Nuttini, Royal Blood, The Chemical Brothers and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

“One weekend our Merlins were at the Open Air Frauenfeld Hip Hop Festival and the next weekend they were again booked for the main stage at the Gurtenfestival. Many festivals followed/are to follow, including Heitere Open Air and Summerdays.”
