In the summer of 2023, Seoul was abuzz with excitement as C&C Lightway, a prominent ETC dealer in the Korean market, hosted an open-house event that brought together friends, customers, and industry professionals. This four-day extravaganza attracted over 300 attendees who were eager to witness the latest advancements in lighting technology.

A showcase of lighting brilliance
The highlight of the open house was an awesome light show that left participants “spellbound”. The open house showcased the capabilities of Eos Apex 10, Eos Apex 5, ColorSource Spot V, Source Four LED Series 3, Source 4WRD, Desire Fresnel, Halcyon, Lonestar, and the SolaPix family.

The show was controlled using the highly anticipated Eos Apex 10 with Eos v3.2 software, and participants had the opportunity to experience the Apex console and explore its powerful features that “promise to revolutionize fixture programming”. Also, ETC Field Project Coordinator
Audrey Leung introduced the updates of Eos v3.2 and how it improves networking to fixture configuration. The latest Eos software offers tools that allow the user to quickly adjust colour, device and system settings and power up 3D programming.

C&C Lightway – YS Choi and AI technology programmed the event’s theme song.

In addition to the mesmerizing light show, C&C Lightway and ETC played an interactive music light show to introduce the Eos Apex consoles. The lighting show provided participants with an in-depth experience of the console’s functionalities and capabilities. This was a valuable opportunity for attendees to gain insights into the Apex console and learn tips and tricks from industry experts.

Attendees were captivated by Halcyon, the next generation of automated framing luminaires from ETC. The company reports that attendees “were surprised” by Halcyon’s tighter, next-gen gradient dichroic and linear mixing curves supported by ETC’s renowned colour science that
creates smooth, even colours in and out of focus.

Feedback and insights
The event survey response was overwhelmingly positive. The Eos Apex and Halcyon were highly appreciated, with more than 50% of participants praising their high quality and willing to recommend them to customers and peers. ETC noted, “This open house was an incredible success, bringing together industry professionals, customers, and friends to celebrate innovation and collaboration. The event
