Digilin Icon LED fixtures were specified as house lights to tackle the problem of staff having to use permanently installed winches to change halogen globes every week. Tridonic LEDs are used to highlight the wood panelling and the steps
contained in custom housing. The Icon’s in- credible output, added to the low power us- age and extended lamp life made them the sensible and most sustainable choice. “With somewhere close to 250 fittings, technical staff where changing several halogen globes a week. The Icons should have a 15-30 year lamp life, which reduces the need for maintenance completely,” says Electro- light’s Mark Trubridge when asked about the practical benefits of the fixtures. “Further- more; there were two unsightly winches which had to stay permanently in the auditorium purely for the purpose of chang- ing the globes in the halogens, but now they have been removed which also adds to the

Electrolight ist von Arts Victoria für das architektonische Beleuchtungsdesign des Auditoriums kontaktiert worden. Eines der Schlüsselelemente des Designs, das sich in frühen Diskussionen hervorgetan hat, war die Hausbeleuchtung des Auditoriums. Die vorherigen Halogenleuchten im Auditorium stellten zahlreiche Probleme dar – nicht zuletzt das, wie schwierig es war, sie zu bewahren. Aus mehreren Gründen führten die Diskussionen dazu, eine LED Lösung zu suchen. Electrolight wandte sich an Lightmoves, um eine passende LED Lösung zu entwickeln, die zu einer Reihe von verschiedenen Mustern und Tests führte, bevor die Entscheidung gefällt wurde, australische

While not being specifically IP rated, once they were dried out the fixtures all worked perfectly which I believe is testament to the build quality of the Digilin fixtures.” Lightmoves also supplied Tridonic Talexx Engine line LED bars that were used to high- light the featured wood panelling, as well as Tridonic LED strips that were used as step lighting.

Lo Studio 101 Architects ha rilevato il vecchio e datato auditorium, trasformandolo in un luogo di stile e dall’aspetto moderno. Tutto ciò attraverso una combinazione di elementi quali le poltrone rinnovate dal rivestimento verde e dalle bordature in noce, i muri posteriori rinnovati per dare accento al colore verde delle poltrone e per esaltare altresì il rosso delle tende, il tutto completato da un progetto di illuminazione moderno e di alta tecnologia. Electrolight è stata contattata da Arts Victoria per il progetto di illuminazione architetturale dell’auditorium. Uno degli elementi chiave del design emerso durante le prime discussioni è stato quello dell’utilizzo delle luci all’interno. Le luci alogene presenti in precedenza nell’auditorium non sono state di facile gestione né di facile

The theatre staff, architects and Arts Vic- toria are all very happy with the result, but Trubridge was particularly thrilled with the result. “We think it is the first auditorium of that size in Australia to be fully house lit with LEDs, and I’m very pleased that it has worked so well.”

mantenimento. Pertanto, per una varietà di ragioni, la discussione ha generato l’idea di una soluzione al LED. Electrolight ha di conseguenza preso contatti con Lightmoves al fine di sviluppare una adeguata soluzione al LED e di esaminare e ben ponderare una serie svariata di campioni luce per poter poi prendere una decisione definitiva di utilizzare le downlight Digilin Icon di produzione australiana.
ESPAÑOL
Estudio 101 Los arquitectos cogieron el anticuado auditorio y lo transformaron en un lugar elegante y moderno; mediante una combinación de asientos tapizados en verde con estructuras de madera de nogal, las paredes traseras del auditorio acolchadas acentúan el verde de los asientos y destacan el rojo de la nueva cortina de la sala, que está totalmente complementada por un diseño de iluminación
moderno. Arts Victoria contrató a Electrolight para el diseño de iluminación arquitectónico del auditorio. Uno de los elementos clave del diseño que se hizo evidente en debates anteriores fue la iluminación de la sala del auditorio. Las anteriores lámparas alógenas del auditorio representaron ciertos problemas; en particular lo difícil que era ocuparse de su mantenimiento. Por una serie de razones, las discusiones llevaron a considerar una solución con luces LED. Electrolight contactó con Lightmoves para desarrollar una solución adecuada con LED que vio y probó una serie de muestras diferentes antes de que se decidiera a usar las downlights Digilin Icon fabricadas en Australia.
