This includes stage lighting from Osram subsidiary Clay Paky, and Lightify, an iOSRAM LED lighting system controlled via a smartphone app.Visitors to the Eurovision Village at Rathausplatz will be able to use Lightify to cast their votes and show support for a song. The square will be bathed in red light to signify maximum points, and blue at the other end of the spectrum to indicate one point.
