Ayrton Eurus and Huracán Profiles enrich the visuals and bring fresh engaging looks to Hope Church, Singapore
When Hope Church in Singapore wanted to add to its lighting stock, the church returned once again to Ayrton products, purchasing a consignment of Ayrton Eurus and Huracán Profiles to increase its existing inventory of Eurus Profile and Ghibli fixtures.
Purchased through Ayrton’s exclusive distributor for Singapore, Total Solution Marketing (TSM), Hope Church Lights Team explains why the Ayrton fixtures were their go-to choice: “We already have a great relationship with both Ayrton and TSM who have always offered excellent post-sales service and technical support, and we find Ayrton fixtures to be both highly versatile and very reliable,” they say.
“Ayrton fixtures offer precise and reliable positioning across the models we use in our church, and their fast, smooth movement, especially when triggered through position palettes, has significantly improved our workflow. The strong beam output of both Eurus and Huracán Profiles has helped us achieve our artistic vision with greater impact. Additionally, the consistent colour mixing technology across different models complements our lighting console built-in effects engine, allowing us to create dynamic, polished lighting designs. This synergy enables us to craft a wide variety of lighting states and bring a fresh, engaging look to each service.”
In addition to regular worship services, Hope Church Singapore hosts a variety of events at its fourteen hundred [1400] seater auditorium, so versatility and flexibility are key to the right fixture choices. “We first purchased the Eurus Profile in 2021, adding to that stock a couple of years later and once again in this latest investment, choosing to complement them this time with Huracán Profiles,” explains Hope Church Lights Team.
“We find the Huracán Profile to be an exceptionally versatile fixture, offering an extensive gobo selection, powerful light output, and a broad beam range. It has been instrumental in enhancing our church lighting designs, particularly in adding rich textures and colours to side walls for immersive atmospheric effects. We especially value its flexibility, from creating stage washes to producing tight spots, along with both light and heavy frost options. The ability to maintain strong visual effects, even with coloured outputs, has truly elevated the creative possibilities of our lighting setup.”
Hope Church Lights Team goes on to explain why Ayrton fixtures are the best suited to meet their church’s lighting needs. “We’ve found that some of the most useful features of both the Eurus and the Huracán Profiles are the gobo scroll, animation wheel, prism, and framing shutters. Feedback from visiting LDs on the prism and animation effects has also been very positive. We love the consistency in gobo patterns across Ayrton fixtures, which allows for cohesive and creative designs! The strong and crisp beams, and the intricate designs and patterns using the gobos provided across the fixtures, allow us to enhance the visual atmosphere for our weekly services.
“Ayrton fixtures are also impressively well-built, with a robust housing that reflects high-quality engineering. The integrated water-cooling contributes to the fixture’s overall stability and ensures long-term durability, and minimal fan noise is an additional bonus.
“Our new Eurus and Huracán Profiles have significantly expanded our creative possibilities, allowing for a wider range of programming and design across various lighting states. Whether it’s for a song presentation, dance segment, or our weekly praise and worship services, these features have greatly enriched the visual impact and versatility of our lighting designs.”
Vijay Thaygarajoo, Ayrton Regional Sales Manager, added, “We’re honoured by Hope Church in their confidence in choosing to add the Ayrton Huracan Profile and Eurus to their lighting inventory, and by doing so, to continue to push creative boundaries and embrace technology that elevates both the visual experience and emotional connection of their productions.”
“We are very glad the Eurus Profiles have fitted in so well to the regular services and many other key events for the Church over the past years,” comments Ming Hee, TSM’s Director of Strategic Business Partnership. “It is important for us as a company to hear Hope Church Lights Team’s vision for this venue, and this purchase is evidence of the healthy partnership that exist between us, and proof that Ayrton continue to offer products that are consistent and feature-rich. TSM will continue to support Hope Church to achieve higher grounds in their production.”
