Dominion Energy funds new LED Lighting for The Waterside Theatre

The (US) Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation awarded The Lost Colony this grant to help the production cut energy costs with new LED technology. The funding replaces eight critically needed older spotlights at risk for failing during a performance. he new LED lighting technology draws less electricity and generates less heat, reducing the theatre’s carbon footprint. The highly rated (IP65) LED fixtures are designed to withstand the extreme moisture of a coastal environment which can rapidly deteriorate lighting equipment in an outdoor theatre. The new instrument’s state-of-the-art technology can achieve special theatrical effects easily controlled by a computer which is far less labor intensive and efficient – generating additional savings for the production.
