All LED Lighting Design by InPhase.

The “Disco Scepter” (Disco Stick 3.0) have two separate 10-output chase circuits, a length of standard LED tape, a high-brightness LED spotlight, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and controls into the fiberglass, epoxy and plexiglass stick. Each chase circuit, one in the head and one in the tail, was custom built to sequentially flash 10 180-lumen LED lamps built into the structure of the stick. A length of InPhase cool-white LED tape was wrapped around a form, then surrounded by custom holographic diffusion to create the head of the stick, which was topped off by a heavily-modified high-brightness Streamlight flashlight. The lithium battery pack and charging/protection circuitry was assembled to fit within the tail of the stick and provide some balance to the unit.

The “Electric Chapel” consisted of two telephone-booth-sized chapels and a small platform. Built on casters, they were designed to roll on and off stage for the song Electric Chapel; because of their mobility, they required SLA batteries for power and wireless DMX for control. Each chapel was a three-foot-square booth built of aluminum extrusion and half-inch plexiglass. InPhase RGB LED tape was installed underneath the plexiglass as it seated in the aluminum channel. Each wall had a heart shape or a cross shape cut out; when edge-lit, the cutouts appear to float in space while aglow. Each wall also had an outward-facing lit surround to frame it. Each feature was independently controlled, which allowed for some stunning lighting effects. The platform surrounds were lit in a manner similar to the chapels, but did not have the cutouts or edge-lighting of the chapels.

The motorized tricycle, built by Jet Effects, employed several offroad-style lamp fixtures. We took off-the-shelf tungsten fixtures and installed high-intensity LED lamps and current regulators within. In this case, the goal was not to build a bright light, but to extend the battery life of the cycle.

[1] Applause (July 17, 2013)

1. Maria Greschenko worked as a scenic painter with the company Jet Sets for this music video. The abstract curtains are three layers of painted flats. Each flat was about 30' tall. First, a 2'x2' grid was measured. The grid was then defined with the aid of a snap line. The design was then drawn with chalk and painted white.

The piano was made in collaboration with Andrew Siwicki using 3 Intel® Atom™ processor-powered robot arms.

The Disco Star (Disco Stick 4.0) debuted at the Super Bowl before being used on all dates of the Joanne World Tour during the bridge of "Just Dance" and the first verse and chorus of "LoveGame". On Both occasions one of the dancers hands Gaga the Disco Star while she’s singing. Unlike the original and the previous prop made by JetSet, this one only features angular blades that form a star made of fiberglass and doesn't have an LED tape inside of the pole. During one of the shows, The Disco Star broke on September 11, 2017 at the beginning of LoveGame and was replaced on November 3 with a modified one that includes an LED Tape which can allow the prop to have a strobing light effect like the Disco Torch and Scepter. The pole has pearls encrusted where the strobing lights are located.
