The same day that Spectra Stage & Events Technologies AB in Stockholm, Sweden was named exclusive Wybron distributor by PRG Europe, Spectra used the Nobel Prize banquet to showcase the Wybron Nexera luminarie. Fourteen Nexera wash lights were positioned along the east wall of the Blue Hall at the bottom of each 25-foot recessed doorway, flooding the columns with light. The colorful columns acted as a backdrop for the Allmanna Sangen Choir which performed during the December 10, 2005 banquet.
