Lighting planning for events
Technical planning of lighting systems for trade fairs, concerts, corporate events and TV productions, from conception to management on site.
Lighting that works first time
Large lighting systems consist of hundreds, often thousands of units. To get them up and running on time and without errors, you need lighting planning that captures every fixture, every cable and every address.
We handle the technical planning of your lighting system and turn all data into clearly structured, easy-to-understand plans. In addition to the plans, you receive all related lists, for example for fixtures, cabling and power supply.
With 4D interactive, we support the system right into operation: build progress, error rate and changes can be traced at any time, and during programming exactly the fixture that is needed at that moment is switched on.
Scope of services
What we take care of for you

Process
From idea to first light
1. Concept
Based on the lighting design or your requirements, we clarify scope, fixtures and general conditions.
2. Detailed planning
We plan positions, cabling and power supply and create plans and lists.
3. Set-up
With 4D-direct and 4D-info, set-up is fast, precise and traceable.
4. Operation
On request, we take over the technical management of lighting on site.
Order in thousands of data records
With large lighting systems, data quality determines the success of lighting planning. Every fixture needs a position, an address, a power supply and a data line. If any of this information is missing or out of date, troubleshooting during programming costs valuable time.
With 4D-draft, we bring together all relevant information and turn it into clearly structured plans. In addition to clearly designed plans, we provide all related lists. The system is freely scalable and can be adapted to your company's working methods.
During set-up and operation, 4D-info provides up-to-date data on build progress, error rate and performance level, in real time on tablets and smartphones. Repairs carried out twice, friction losses at shift handovers and outdated lists are a thing of the past.

FAQ
Questions about lighting planning
Do you also create the lighting design?
Our focus is on technical conception, planning and implementation. We implement existing lighting designs technically. Talk to us if you need support as early as the concept phase.
How large can the systems be?
We specialise in large-scale, complex systems, for example for motor shows, arena shows and open-air events. Our planning systems are freely scalable.
What does 4D interactive add to lighting planning?
All data is kept in one system: plans, lists, build progress and errors. This saves time during set-up and prevents misunderstandings between planning and crew.
Do you also provide lighting staff?
Yes, from individual lighting technicians to a complete crew with a certified master technician for event technology.
