On Stage with
Patrick Woodroffe
Philips On Stage got a back stage pass at the AC/DC Rock or Bust tour 2015 with Lighting Designers Patrick Woodroffe and Cosmo Wilson. Find out how they created a spectacle, and thrilled an audience of 60,000 AC/DC fans. Fixtures with Philips MSD Platinum lamps, MSR Gold FastFit and MSR Gold double-ended bulbs were used to create a spectacular lighting design with sharp beams, high brightness and consistent bulb temperature.
Certain bulbs yellow over time and that would be the most frustrating thing for me. So I'm always looking for a bulb which temperature stays the same and has a long life. We make choices on the source of light. We can't have a bulb that lasts for 60 hrs and then throw it away.”
