This video centers around the GLP MAD MAXX during a special moment: the christening of a cruise ship. Directed by lighting designer Jerry Appelt, the project showcases how powerful and expressive modern LED technology can be when implemented with precision and creativity. The MAD MAXX is more than just another fixture – it makes a visual and technical statement.
With its remarkably rich Fat Beam, the MAD MAXX delivers a look reminiscent of classic xenon searchlights – but powered by efficient, flexible LED technology. Its large, uniform light output creates an unmistakable presence that immediately commands attention. Especially in scenarios where impact and atmosphere are key, the MAD MAXX adds a visual depth that is rarely achieved by other fixtures on the market.
Color performance is equally impressive: precise control, finely tuned CTO levels, and versatile effect settings allow for the creation of lighting imagery that is both technically accurate and emotionally immersive. Complex looks can be achieved without complicated programming – ideal for striking shows, bold lighting cues, and dramatic moments.
From a production standpoint, the MAD MAXX also offers numerous advantages. Despite its high output, it maintains a relatively low power consumption and operates effortlessly using standard power distribution. Thanks to its IP65 rating, the fixture is fully suitable for outdoor use and withstands even the toughest weather conditions.
The video captures all of this in a real-world, high-end application – visually rich, technically precise, and atmospherically powerful. A bold stage for an exceptional lighting tool.
