A Dance of Light: The Beijing Winter Olympics' Visual Spectacle Amazes the World, with Gao Lang Lighting Igniting the Zhangjiakou Awarding Plaza

The awarding plaza is a significant cultural characteristic that distinguishes the Winter Olympics from the Summer Olympics. Unlike the Summer Olympics, where awards are presented immediately after the competitions in the competition venues, the Winter Olympics usually hold a commemorative ceremony in the stadium after the competitions before moving to a designated awarding plaza for a grand awards ceremony, where medals are presented, flags are raised, and national anthems are played.

As a venue for awarding athletes of different skin colors from around the globe and meeting the requirements of 8K television broadcasts, the Zhangjiakou Awarding Plaza requires the use of performance lighting fixtures with extremely high color rendering index and strong color reproduction capabilities. The selected equipment employs an innovative high-color rendering light source system capable of emitting bright, high-CRI, and uniform light spots, presenting a realistic and natural high-definition texture and resolving the stage lighting needs during scene transitions. Maintaining stability in extremely cold environments of -40°C is also a crucial consideration in selecting the equipment.

The celebration ceremony and performance rehearsals held at the awarding plaza are of paramount importance. From warm-up performances to the arrival of athletes, and to volunteers simulating award-winning athletes, guided by protocol personnel, arriving at the podium to receive medals and flowers, the awarding plaza operation team has developed detailed work procedures and plans. In addition, after each awards ceremony, the awarding plaza further enhances the Olympic atmosphere, disseminates Winter Olympics culture, and showcases national customs through artistic performances, light shows, and singing of the awarding plaza's theme song, "Tribute to the Warriors."

Outdoor cultural and tourism performance lighting products such as the "Thor" series LED beam moving head lights produced by Guangzhou Gao Lang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. are used in the Zhangjiakou Awarding Plaza; they feature waterproof, dustproof, extremely high CRI, and extreme cold resistance characteristics.

In this Winter Olympics, to achieve the goal of "the colors seen on television are consistent with those seen on site," a higher standard was set for lighting products. The projection deviation standards for stage lighting in this Winter Olympics were stricter than international standards. The lighting illuminating at the same time must maintain uniform color within the illumination range; that is, there should not be a situation where the color of the light in one area is darker, while the color of the light on the other side is lighter.
