Alpha One Technology's new FALCON 6000™ and the existing FALCON 7K™ xenon lights played key positions in this year's Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show.  Premiering February 3rd at the big event, the FALCON 6000 is a compact indoor/outdoor, DMX controlled, xenon fixture equipped with douser, pan-and-tilt movement, electronic and mechanical dimmer, electronic and mechanical strobe, zoom and integrated electronic power supply.  The next release of the FALCON 6000 will include a CMY+1 color changer, with extra scrolls for special effects.  The CMY color changer system will allow for thousands of brilliant color combinations.  A fourth gel string will be equipped with special colors, and/or other special effect films. 

“Finally a versatile xenon light designed especially for both floor and inverted use,” states Emmy Award winning lighting designer Bob Dickinson.  “Its exceptional output, comparable to that of the 7K at a third the size and weight with one-third the power consumption, is a great advancement in xenon technology.  I am looking forward to using A&O's CMY version of the FALCON 6000.”

During the Halftime Show, which this year featured TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS, 18 FALCON 7Ks played on the field while 14 FALCON 6000s played on an upstage truss.  The Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show is produced by Don Mischer Productions and White Cherry Productions.  Also at the Super Bowl, 10 FALCON 3K™ BEAMS were used on the NFL Pepsi Smash Concert Series.
