American Bar & Grill - O2 Arena
The ability to create a mood setting ambience within a competitive budget was the specification set out to Lighting Projects Ltd For the American bar and Grill at the recently refurbished O2 Arena in London.
Ease of installation around tight curves was the requirement, so Lighting Projects Ltd RGB Elektor-FLEX Crystal was the perfect solution.
Fed via the PWM Power Supply Units, Elektor-FLEX Crystal enabled the restaurant owners the Incgroup to chose from a virtuoso of 16.8 millions colours and set the mood of the restaurant, dependant of the function.
Torquay Harbour Bridge
For this project the client wanted to create a stunning effect, without creating any maintenance problems. Fibre optics had been trialled but the poor light outputs simply did not create the effect required
Trials of Elektor-FLEX were carried out and the system was chosen as it created brilliantly the desired effects. As access for maintenance is a problem, i.e. Scaffolding required which would result in the bridge being taken out of commission it was essential that the chosen product was virtually maintenance free. The result was that Elektor-FLEX created the exact effects the client wanted, in a way that would require virtually no on going maintenance
Neon Lighting had originally been considered, but Neon Lighting is manufactured from Glass and operates at typically 30,000 volts. The Lighting on the bridge is in a location where the public could easily touch it, so the scenario of Glass Tubes and High voltage on a Bridge over water, speaks for it self. In addition Neon requires each tube to factory manufactured to the exact shape required
Elektor-FLEX comes on a roll, can be cut to length and shaped on site. It operates at 24v DC and is made of soft polymers, so even if you were to throw a brick at it, it would simply bounce off.
The installation was designed and specified by Designers, C Spencer Ltd of Hull, working with our Technical Sales Consultants, and was installed with ease by the installation contractor, Sercon Controls Ltd of Huddersfield. The finished project has created a stunning feature in Torquay, the combination of product selection, good design and good installation have culminated in a project that all concerned can be proud to be associated with.
