The lighting package on stage is completed by six of ADJ’s UB 12H linear LED wash fixtures. The 200W LED really throws a lot of light out, in fact I don’t think there’s another light in the same price range that can compete on output with the Focus Spot 4Z.”

But it can also work well to create a tight spot and sharp aerial effects. If you throw a prism on and zoom the fixture all the way out, it really does fill the space. “Having zoom on a fixture of this size and price-point is very important,” enthuses Andre, “as it really steps up what can be achieved in a smaller room like this. It features fast and smooth movement, independent color and GOBO wheels, removable and rotatable GOBOs, two rotating prisms (5-facet linear and 6-facet circular), as well as motorized focus and zoom. Offering a compact design, expansive feature-set and an output in excess of 5,000 lumens, the Focus Spot 4Z is ideal for creating everything from energetic mid-air effects to subtle break-apart projections.

Four of these units are rigged to an upstage bar with the Mega 64 Profile Plus units that were already in situ positioned in between. The other fixture that Andre settled on early in the planning process was ADJ’s Focus Spot 4Z, a moving head spot that has proven particularly popular in the house of worship market.

The fixtures also work well for the pre-service the kids love to chase the beams around when they’re set to do a figure-of-eight movement on the floor! The output from the Focus Beam LED is massive being so small and only 80W, it’s almost unreal! I’ve used them in this church’s main auditorium and they are bright enough to hold their own in that large space on a big rig, so in this small room they look incredible! I also love that you can overlay the prisms one of my favorite effects is to rotate them in opposite directions, you don’t have to move them very fast to create a crazy fun effect. “I think this helps them to feel more involved with the worship and everything that is happening. “I didn’t want all the lighting to be on stage, I wanted to have some beams out in the room, over the kids’ heads,” states Andre.

Andre chose to position two on the stage itself to shoot beams upwards and to rig another pair to the ceiling in the center of the room. To create the desired ‘cool’ atmosphere for the kids, he wanted to be able to shoot razor-sharp beams around the space and the compact, LED-powered Focus Beam LED, which had been launched just a few months before the initial consultation on this project began, perfectly fit the bill. With the church’s remit in mind, the first fixture Andre settled on for the project was ADJ’s Focus Beam LED. The leadership at the church essentially said to us: ‘here’s a budget we need front light, house light, effect lighting and we want it to look cool for the kids!’” The technical setup in this room was previously very basic, so we really started from scratch although we did utilize a few Mega 64 Profile Plus LED pars that were already there. This was the first project for them where we essentially designed and installed a complete AVL system for a space from the ground up. “Radiant Church has been a client of Atmospheric Productions since the very beginning,” explains Andre, “however up until now most of the work has been smaller upgrades and replacements. Owned and operated by business partners Andre T Miller and Jay Parmenter, who have over 20 years of collective industry experience, the company was established in 2015 and specializes in church integration projects.

The technical supplier for the new audio, video and lighting system was Atmospheric Productions, a company with a long history of working with Radiant Church. Their latest project was a complete technical revamp of the dedicated space used for ministry to fourth and fifth graders at the church’s flagship South Tampa location. Throughout this phenomenal growth, the church has continually invested in the AV technology they use to present vibrant worship and engaging teaching, both for those gathering in person and watching online. With an attendance approaching 4,000, it was placed at number 5 in Outreach Magazine’s 2020 list of Fastest-Growing Churches in America. Planted by Pastor Aaron Burke and his wife Katie in 2013, with a vision of creating a life-giving church that would transform a community, Radiant Church has quickly grown to spread across five locations in the Tampa Bay area. This included the installation of 37 ADJ lighting fixtures to create a vibrant and versatile rig designed to provide a fun-filled and contemporary backdrop for Sunday services and midweek events hosted by the church’s lively ‘Radiant Kids’ ministry. Radiant Church, a thriving multi-site church located in Tampa, FL, has recently overhauled the AVL system in its dedicated space for elementary-aged children.
