Shenzhen, November 21, 2025 – The closing ceremony of the 15th National Games took place at Shenzhen's Happy Theatre, an open-air waterfront venue. For the first time in the event's history, the ceremony was staged outdoors with the city's skyline as the backdrop, creating a stunning visual experience.

Shenzhen-based Appotronics (688007.SH) made a remarkable contribution with high-power full-color laser searchlight, the Quasar. More than 300 Quasar units were deployed to deliver breathtaking beams of light across water, stage, and sky, creating one of the most visually spectacular ceremonies ever seen in China.

Setting a New Standard for Large-Scale Event Lighting

This year’s closing ceremony brought together performers from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, blending cutting-edge technology with the cultural heritage of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The most innovative element was the integration of land, sea, and city into a unified stage, with Appotronics' Quasar searchlights anchoring the entire production.

The Quasars were placed at key locations, including both sides of the stage, across the water, and along the coastline. These lights synchronized with the music and choreography, sending intense, full-color beams across several kilometers to create a powerful visual effect, visible even from distant areas. Their brightness, pure colors, and long-range capability made a significant impact, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and ceremony.

Tackling the Biggest Challenges in Large-Scale Event Lighting

Large-scale outdoor spectaculars demand lighting that refuses to compromise. Quasar was built to meet every demand head-on:

·Achieving ultra-high brightness and accurate color performance for large-scale venues.

·Overcoming ambient light interference in complex urban environments.

·Ensuring clear visual experience for both on-site and remote audiences under long-distance installations.

·Maintaining robust outdoor reliability against extreme weather conditions including rain, sun, heat, humidity and salt.

Reliability Beyond the Elements

Maintaining robust outdoor reliability against extreme weather conditions including rain, sun, heat, humidity and salt.

The Quasar meets all these challenges with ease:

Full-Gamut RGB Mastery:

Unlike traditional searchlights, which use color filters that compromise brightness and color purity, Quasar uses RGB lasers that produce brighter, more vibrant colors. With 50 LEE-standard filters and a 16-bit color engine, it offers over 16.77 million colors, true chromatic unleashed.

Unmatched Brightness:
With 60,000 lux at 100 meters, the Quasar is the brightest searchlight on the market, cutting through city lights and reducing the need for extra fixtures.

Long Range:

The Quasar can project clear, saturated beams up to 10 kilometers, while most searchlights lose intensity beyond 2-5 kilometers.

In addition, the Quasar is IP66-rated for weather resistance and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +40°C, ensuring reliable performance for years with minimal maintenance.

Zhang Feng, General Manager of Appotronics' Professional Display BU, shared in an interview:“The full-color laser searchlight represents much more than a new product for us. It marks our first step into the professional lighting world—and reflects our belief that Appotronics should enter the global ProAV market with only the very best. This is our way of saying we’re here, and we’re here with high-end innovation.”

The Quasar will debut internationally at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, Appotronics plans to expand the Quasar family into a complete platform for full-color laser solutions, integrating AI to enhance show design, programming, and operation, leading the industry toward greater efficiency and intelligence.
