The Zwarte Cross festival in Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands offers a unique mix of motocross, music and much more. A total of 229,900 people were welcomed to the 2022 edition that took place over 4 days from the 14-17th July. The Zwarte Cross festival site covers an incredible 160 hectares (about 300 American football fields!) and has 33 different stages to visit. Highlite Rent provided lighting by Showtec and Infinity for the Tyrolean Tent along with Ritmo Sound Productions who were also the operators and supplied Showtec and Infinity lighting for Café Harder and Gaycafé ‘De Kast’.

For Walibi Belgium’s steel coaster Kondaa, lighting-specialised company Euroka and installer Black Squares have implemented a large number of products from Showtec, a brand of Highlite, to generate the right ambience for the ride area. They have chosen Showtec’s Cameleon Floodlights, Helix S5000 Q4 washers, Spectral LED Pars, and Candela Pixel Bars to light the attraction in line with the new themed space within the “Exotic World” part of the second largest theme park in Benelux.

The Showtec Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 lit up the unique water vortex effect that was exclusively created for the Tomorrowland festival by JMR Waterworld. The RGBW flood light’s high lumen output and IP65 rating made it the perfect solution for the application.
