90 JB-Lighting Moving Heads at the Para Championship Europe.
The first edition of the European Para Championships took place from August 8 to 20, 2023. This event occurred in Rotterdam at 17 different venues. The technical implementation was in the hands of Backbone International, and the technical equipment for the opening ceremony at Ahoy was provided by Peitsman Licht & Geluid.
An International Mega Event
In this inaugural edition, 1,500 athletes with physical disabilities came together to qualify for the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
The Lighting Setup
Peitsman spared no effort in making the opening ceremony an unforgettable experience. The extensive lighting design was created by the internationally renowned designer Marc Heinz, and the operator was Pascal Schutijser. It's worth noting that 90 Moving Heads from the renowned German brand JB-Lighting were used. Peitsman recently invested in JB-Lighting's P9, P12, and P18 models, which were used in the on-site lighting setup. The impressive light output was a crucial factor in this choice.

Peitsman Light & Sound is based in Rotterdam, which ensured a seamless material supply and setup for the Para Championship Europe.
