Mercury was asked to install and integrate 40 projectors in classrooms throughout Pace Academy. Our experts found a way to meet a tight budget and timeline to accomplish for the school. MSL finished the task in a matter of a week and a half for the school. Our job included everything from mounting the projector, to running all electrical, to VGA wall plates for the teachers to plug into.

Jacob’s Fight Presents “Rockin’ the D on the Runway!”
Mercury Sound & Lighting was very happy to provide audio, lighting, staging, drape and video for the Jacob’s Fight Foundation’s Charity Event and Fashion Show at the Edgewood Country Club in Commerce, MI on Friday! This was the first annual fundraiser of Jacob’s Fight with their goal of raising money to “Knock Out Pediatric Brain Tumors”!
MSL was asked to team up with Indigo Salon of West Bloomfield, MI and A June Event to help transform this space from a Ballroom to a New York Fashion Show Runway. The outcome was electrifying! A 32′ runway was built by our team to be the center of the show. The runway combined with draping, pin spots, 30 Micro W LEDs, and intelligent lighting set an inimitable feeling for the show.
The event began with entertainment and then speaking from the foundation’s founder, Shelly Pesta. Mercury provided video screens and switching equipment to seamlessly switch between video’s and logos along with a complete audio system. Later in the evening the fashion show began with unparalleled designs from designers such as Artalia Designs. Our lighting designer did an incredible job setting the mood for the fashion show. Strobes and LED changes created a similar effect to camera flashes from a New York Runway! This look mixed with a coverage of ETC Source Four Pars created the presentation that our client was looking for.
We are very honored that we were able to be a part of this event and to team up with such artistic designers and coordinators. Thank you Jacob’s Fight, Indigo Salon and A June Event for making us a part. We look forward to many more successful and creative events!

Absolutely Gorgeous Event Lighting Ideas
Event lighting is the most essential part of event design and it has a magical power of transforming what you have into what you want to have. Well-thought out lighting can turn a shabby hotel restaurant into an elegant wedding hall or a retro inspired party venue. All you need is a proper collaboration of traditional lighting elements and high-tech event lighting technologies.
Professional Lighting
Have you ever attended a wedding reception or corporate convention and wondered how the even planner achieved the visual lighting effect? More then likely the event planners were working with lighting technicians to use professional lighting. Lighting engineers use a combination of different types of lighting to achieve the desired effect.
Moving Head Lights
Moving head lights are a elegant option to light up a space as it allows the beam of light to move exactly to the area you want to be lit. They can also be programmed to create light shows and can be synced to music.
LED Wash
LED lighting has been a game changer versus conventional incandescent lighting as the intensity of the color are much vibrant and rich. Wash lighting generally can spread a color theme on walls and staging from one color to changing colors.
GOBO Lighting
GOBO’s is the name for the lighting beams of patterns. Chances are if you seen lights with Christmas trees projecting on a wall at a holiday event this effect was created by GOBO’s. Wedding planners and corporate convention organizers are using custom GOBO’s to project the names of couples or logo’s for events.
