FENG-YI Lighting Creates a Stunning Stage Light Feast with Professional Equipment
◉ Project Background
Empowering the Stage of a National-Level Music Awards Ceremony
As an annual blockbuster music event, the "CCTV 2019 China Music Awards" brought together top musicians, industry practitioners, and a large audience from home and abroad, aiming to create a national-level cultural feast that integrates professionalism, appreciation, and influence. As the core carrier of the awards ceremony, the stage lighting presentation not only needs to meet basic lighting requirements but also to enhance the musical atmosphere and strengthen the performance tension through light and shadow language, serving as a key link connecting artistic expression and audience emotions.
After comparing multiple leading lighting service providers in the industry, the organizing committee of the awards ceremony highly recognized FENG-YI Lighting's equipment supply capabilities, technical support capabilities, and project implementation experience in large-scale cultural events and exhibition scenarios. To achieve the stage goal of "symbiosis between light and shadow and music", the organizing committee decided to cooperate with FENG-YI Lighting and introduce its core stage lighting equipment such as lifting light tubes to help the awards ceremony create a benchmark-level visual presentation effect.
◉ Project Challenges
Lighting Adaptation Difficulties for High-Specification Awards Ceremony
▪ Equipment Coordination Requirements for Complex Scenarios
The awards ceremony stage covers multi-dimensional spaces including the main performance area, guest interaction area, and audience seating extension area. Different areas have significantly different requirements for light illuminance, color temperature, and dynamic effects.
The lifting light tubes need to accurately cooperate with dozens of types of equipment such as color-changing lights, follow spots, and effect lights. How to ensure that multiple devices can achieve synchronous response and seamless connection under the same control system has become a core technical challenge.

▪ Light and Shadow Adaptation Pressure for Dynamic Performances
The awards ceremony includes diverse performance forms such as solo singing, band performances, and song-and-dance combinations. The lifting light tubes need to adjust the lifting height, luminous intensity, and color changes in real-time according to the music rhythm and performance style.
For example, lyrical songs need to create soft and quiet light and shadow layers, while rock performances require the lifting light tubes to quickly rise and fall with stroboscopic effects to strengthen the explosive power. How to achieve the deep integration of light and shadow with artistic expression puts forward extremely high requirements for equipment flexibility and control accuracy.

▪ Stability Test of High-Intensity Operation
The awards ceremony lasted for nearly 6 hours, including multiple rehearsals and the official performance. Equipment such as lifting light tubes needed to maintain zero failures under long-term high-load operation.
At the same time, the installation and debugging cycle of stage equipment was tight. How to complete equipment deployment, system debugging, and fault contingency plans within limited time to ensure the smooth progress of the performance was a severe test of project execution capabilities.

◉ Solution
Customized Stage Lighting Equipment and Technical Support System
Diversified Equipment Matrix for Accurate Scene Adaptation
In response to the needs of the awards ceremony, FENG-YI Lighting built an integrated lighting equipment solution with lifting light tubes as the core:
▪ Core Equipment Customization: Provided multi-specification lifting light tubes that support precise lifting adjustment of 0.5-3 meters, with RGB full-color gamut luminous function. They can switch between multiple modes such as single color, gradient, and stroboscope according to performance needs, adapting to the atmosphere creation of different music styles.
▪ Equipment Coordination Configuration: Equipped with professional consoles and signal transmission systems, integrating lifting light tubes and other lighting equipment into a unified control network to achieve "one-click scene switching", ensuring the accurate implementation of complex effects such as focused follow spots and tube background lights during solo singing, and multi-area light and shadow linkage during band performances.
▪ Auxiliary Function Enhancement: The lifting light tubes adopted silent drive motors to avoid equipment operation noise interfering with the performance; at the same time, they were equipped with emergency power supply modules to deal with extreme situations such as sudden power outages and ensure the continuity of the performance.
Full-Process Technical Support System
To ensure efficient equipment operation and effect presentation, a full-chain service of "pre-adaptation + mid-term debugging + on-site support" was established:
▪ In the early stage, in-depth communication was conducted with the stage design team. Based on the stage CAD drawings and performance scripts, the installation positions, lifting strokes, and light and shadow effect parameters of the lifting light tubes were planned, and a customized implementation plan was formed.
▪ In the middle stage, a technical team was dispatched to the site, completing the installation, wiring, and system debugging of all equipment in only 48 hours. Through more than 10 full-process rehearsals, the adaptation details between light and shadow and performances were optimized.
▪ 3 senior technicians were on-site throughout the event to monitor the equipment operation status in real-time and ensure immediate response to problems.
◉ Technical Highlights
Light and Shadow Empowering Artistic Expression
Lifting Light Tubes Creating Iconic Visual Symbols
The lifting light tubes created multiple iconic scenes in the awards ceremony: in the opening session, 24 groups of light tubes rose synchronously to a height of 3 meters, creating a solemn atmosphere with gradient golden light effects matching the symphony; during the rock performance, the light tubes quickly rose and fell with the drumbeat and switched to stroboscopic red light, strengthening the on-site explosive power; in the final chorus session, the light tubes lowered layer by layer to form a "light and shadow dome", triggering the audience's emotional resonance and becoming a memorable part of the awards ceremony.
Multi-Equipment Collaboration for Immersive Experience
Through the linkage of lifting light tubes and other lighting equipment, a "music visualization" effect was created: when the singer performed lyrical songs, the light tubes slowly rose and fell and projected soft blue light, matching the follow spot to focus on the singer, forming an immersive scene of "people in light and shadow"; during the band's performance, the light tubes changed colors and heights according to different musical instrument parts, allowing the audience to intuitively feel the music layers.
Stable Operation Guaranteeing the Quality of the Awards Ceremony
During the 6-hour performance, the lifting light tubes and the entire lighting system operated without failure, accurately executing the preset scripts.
Their silent operation and precise light control characteristics were highly praised by the director team and the artist team, providing solid support for the smooth progress of the awards ceremony.
◉ Implementation
Efficient Collaboration to Ensure the Launch of the Awards Ceremony
01. Cross-Team Collaboration to Optimize the Plan
FENG-YI Lighting established a special team and held multiple communication meetings with the awards ceremony director team and stage construction team. Combined with 3D stage models to simulate the light and shadow effects of lifting light tubes, equipment parameters and operation scripts were adjusted according to the director team's opinions to ensure that the plan was in line with the artistic creation needs.
02. Modular Installation to Improve Efficiency
Adopting prefabricated wiring and modular installation design, the lifting light bars completed basic debugging in the factory in advance. Only fixation and system connection were needed on-site, which saved 30% of the time compared with traditional installation methods and reserved sufficient space for subsequent rehearsals.
03. Full-Process Rehearsals to Polish Details
Three full-process makeup rehearsals were carried out before the official performance. The technical team recorded the coordination details of the lifting light tubes with the music rhythm and the actors' movements in real-time. For the light and shadow connection deviations that occurred, precise optimization was achieved by adjusting the control program.
