Corona: Main Light Industries sponsors ‘Illuminate Delaware’ tribute

This past Memorial Day weekend, rental company Main Light Industries sponsored “Illuminate Delaware”, a four-day event in which landmarks in Wilmington and around the state were illuminated as a tribute to essential workers on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as fallen U.S. military personnel.

Based in Wilmington, Main Light Industries is one of the largest rental companies in the United States. Main Light employee and lifelong Wilmington resident John DiEleuterio coordinated the effort with assistance from Electro Sound Systems, BEW Productions, Wake Media, and Spaceboy Clothing, as well as a sizeable team of volunteers.

A collective of Delaware lighting and event industry professionals gave their time and energy to help make the event a reality, helping with designing, programming, and set up and tear down of gear. Main Light donated gear currently sitting idle in their warehouse - professional lights usually reserved for large concerts, theater shows, and special events - free of charge.

Several of Wilmington’s iconic sites, as well as other landmarks around Delaware, were lit for the occasion. Elation Professional had products involved at two sites - the 1201 Market Street Building (the tallest building in Delaware), which utilized 42 Level Q7 IP RGBW PAR lights and 6 Paladin LED multi-effect lights; and the New Castle Courthouse, which utilized 6 Paladin. Tom Manchester, Michael Yarabinee and the Electro Sound Systems’ crew handled both of the Elation featured locations.

Residents of the area were invited to drive by and view the locations, which shined in blue between dusk and dawn over Memorial Day weekend, then in red, white, and blue in honor of U.S. Armed Forces personnel on Monday.
