Richard Martin Lighting always relishes the opportunity to be involved in anything related to charity or supporting the future of the entertainment industry. So when we were asked to support St. Edmunds School’s latest endeavour, by donating a moving light package, how could we say no, especially when it was to raise money for such a cause as the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital Charity. 

The idea was to re create the family favourite BBC show Strictly Come Dancing and as a lighting supplier for that show - who better to be involved?!

RML donated Mac 700’s and Alpha Wash 300’s to the charity event held in Canterbury.

The MAC 700’s include the animation wheel, often required for optimum lighting effects within a television studio. It’s surprising such a powerful light can be in such a compact design but it achieves it with superior quality.

Lighting Designer Oz Andrews of ZeeLight recently said ‘thank you so much and the RML team who provided us with Mac 700’s and Alpha Wash 300’s for Strictly St Edmunds 2011. We raised an impressive figure for Great Ormond Street Charity thanks to the support of so many.  The night was a huge success and looked stunning.’

Each year Great Ormond Street opens its doors to £175,000 patients, providing world-class care for the young and their families as well as pioneering new treatments and cures for childhood illness.

For such a great cause we are extremely proud to have been a part of the show. A few moving lights and a lot of good will are the least we could do to help support the hospital that is full of remarkable children whose bravery touches everyone.
