August 14, 2008... Beijing -- According to the latest report form tootoo.com, the wonderful lighting effects that contributed to the luminous opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games truly showcased the full potential of LEDs ( http://www.lighting-china-supplier.com/buy-LED/ ). The LEDs, which are often used in live performances, were able to reach their full potential for the first time, in part, because of the improvements in the development of bigger, better battery cells.

It's said that Zhang Yimou, the director of the Opening Ceremony, didn't use any standard lights in the Bird's Nest, as he chose to use only digital lights that helped highlight the scale and imagination behind event. An example of his direction can be seen through the flying 'Olympic Rings' that were constructed with 44,000 LEDs on a huge net and on the clothes of the actors.

PG lights ( http://www.lighting-china-supplier.com/buy-digital_lighting/ ) were the main type of LEDs used during the Ceremony and these LEDs were first introduced into China last year. PG lights are a high power projection instrument that use the high brightness lamp-house to make the content on the negative cast to the ground, providing a great picture effect at night.

The large-scale reel and the moving picture on it are all cast on the ground by the PG lights. The Chinese ink painting, the oil painting and the Impressionism painting were all presented by this technology.
This Olympic event has given a great chance to the lighting industry in China ( http://www.lighting-china-supplier.com/ ), and the impact on other sectors from CMOS chips, software providers and circuit board manufacturers, etc., will have a positive effect on thousands of other companies.
