As part of the Mansour Festival at Zayed Sports City, Evolution Technical was appointed by Energie Entertainment to design and deliver a fully wireless lighting solution for a fleet of illuminated parade floats. The project required a creative approach to mobile event lighting, ensuring every float remained visually striking while operating independently throughout the live procession.

The Challenge


Unlike a conventional event installation, the moving floats had no access to mains power and operated continuously along the parade route. The lighting system therefore needed to be completely self-contained, lightweight and reliable, providing consistent performance for the entire event without the use of generators or trailing cabling.

The Solution


Evolution developed a fully battery-powered lighting system using Astera AX5 uplights, AX3 spotlights and Titan Tubes to create dynamic colour, accent lighting and linear effects across each float. All fixtures were pre-programmed, fully charged and wirelessly controlled, with brightness levels carefully optimised to maximise battery life while maintaining a vibrant visual appearance throughout the parade.


Each float was individually prepared, tested and commissioned prior to the event, ensuring reliable operation and consistent lighting performance from the opening procession through to the finale.
