First Direct Arena
Leeds, England, UK
To infuse the honeycomb façade with rich color, 270 ColorGraze Powercore fixtures (now specified using ColorGraze MX Powercore) in 3 ft (914 mm) and 4 ft (1.2 m) lengths were installed, working around the façade's angles and unique mesh components to create striking, dynamic displays. The installation is controlled with two Pharos LPC4 controller, which venue operators can easily access either on-site or remotely through an Internet-based control interface. The comprehensive solution allows SMG to create and trigger a limitless array of lighting scenes. Favorite effects include a rippling rainbow pattern, a sweep of shifting color across a solid background, and pulsing, deepening color segments.
LITE worked closely with the SMG team to deliver the lighting controls and completed in-house training to allow full handover of the lighting system from day one. LITE also assisted in a number of large scale mock-ups and demonstrations to meet the client and design team's expectations, while remaining within the financial budget.
