411 Martin Professional fixtures spotlights magical moments at Singapore’s National Day celebrations

Singapore's 59th National Day Parade (NDP) was an incredible tribute to what people on the little red dot can achieve. The narrative was told through immersive performances enhanced with cutting edge audiovisual technology and spectacular pyrotechnic displays that captured the hearts of all who attended at the iconic Padang, and those viewing from the comfort of their homes.

Martin Professional was proud to play a pivotal role on this momentous occasion represented by 294 MAC Ultra Performance and 117 MAC Viper Performance fixtures, positioned strategically above the National Gallery Singapore, lighting the parade route for a stunning visual impact.

To further enhance the large performance stage’s presence, four six‐by‐six grid towers featuring MAC Ultras were also deployed.

There were an additional 30 units of MAC Ultra Performance fixtures serving as unmanned follow spots, controlled remotely by a 10 Macula controller, to highlight specific magical moments of the performance that had an emotional draw.

“The feedback on this year’s NDP lighting design has been overwhelmingly positive with the team expressing a significant improvement in the ‘wow factor’ compared to the previous year,” commented Gabriel Chan, a lighting designer who was one of the key creators behind this year’s parade. Gabriel further mentioned how the Martin MAC Ultra was the ‘go‐to spotlight’ due to its exceptional brightness and how it excelled in the pre‐parade and dynamic defence segments. “In follow spot mode, it flawlessly highlighted both local and main performers while its brightness complemented the multimedia elements perfectly. Together with its long throw, this spotlight was ideal for the parade and ceremony segments,” added Gabriel.

“We are honored that Martin Professional lights were selected as key performers in Singapore’s 49th National Day celebrations to be part of the mesmerizing light display at the beloved parade,” said Amar Subash, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions. APAC. "We are pleased to observe how Singapore has kept pace with global entertainment standards and embraced cutting‐edge audiovisual technology often pioneered by world‐ renowned artists like Taylor Swift and Coldplay. This year's NDP exemplified this trend with the extensive use of Martin Professional lighting fixtures,” added Amar.
