Beneath Paphos of Cyprus, Aarhus is European Capitol of Culture 2017. Hundreds of projects will be realises through the year – all with the Slogan „Let’s rethink“. Aarhus will make people reflect, will build bridges between social classes, generations and cultures.

The second largest city of Denmark started with a complex show event which storyline tells of Viking roots up to the future-oriented strategies of today’s citizens. Queen Margarethe of Denmark send out a festive boat parade through the city. This ends at the harbor of the city with a musical light and fireworks spectacle.

For the lighting show Nordic rentals A/S ordered FALCON BEAM 7,000W searchlights from Arts Outdoor Lighting Technology. Positioned behind the DLG silos at the harbor, which also were used as a stage for projections, they set far-reaching highlights into the night sky. Integrated into the dynamic choreography they enhanced the long range effect with their 7000 watts beams of light.
