The art delegation of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), comprising 106 members, recently held the first of three shows at the Ulaanbaatar Central Palace of Culture during a 10-day visit to Mongolia.

The delegation consisted of people from the Song and Dance Troupe of the PLA General Political Department, the PLA Academy of Arts and the Acrobatic Troupe of the PLA Guangzhou Military Area Command (MAC).

During their visit, the delegation carried out artistic exchanges with the song and dance troupe of the Mongolian military, where spectacular effects from PR Lighting were provided by the Chinese manufacturer’s Mongolian partner, D-light. This involved 36 pieces of XR 200 Beam and 36 XPAR 336.

The lightweight and compact XR 200 Beam is equipped with a Platinum 5R or Osram 230 HRI lamp, to provide a parallel, laser like ‘pencil’ moving beam with a brightness of 67,765 lux, usually achievable only with far greater wattages. This combined with the LED source of the fully featured XPAR 336, housing 36 RGBW LED’s, to provide high output efficiency and low power-consumption, making it ideal for a raft of applications.

The head of D-lights, Mr. Davaa and Ms. Bolor, described the combination as perfect and the performances as “very successful.”

Zhang Qianyi, head of the Song and Dance Troupe of the PLA General Political Department, said that the carefully-prepared programmes — which also included shows in Darhan and a special show for the Mongolian troops — embody the characteristics of the Chinese military and also demonstrate the spirit of the Chinese people.

The aim of the visit was to enhance mutual trust and friendship between the two militaries through these performances in Mongolia — and with the help of these shows, and their use of PR Lighting dynamics, it certainly succeeded.
