060 VENUE
14 Robe Stage Qubes 324 video panels. This acts as focal point, but also as a source of information, thanks to an embedded an LED monitor, which is used for high definition digital signage. Once guests enter the main room - also known as the ultra lounge - they are met by a go-go cage style performance stage with six acrylic poles around the outer edge of the stage. The poles are illuminated at the top and bottom by 12 Anolis ArcSource 6 RGB fittings. David said: “The random air bubbles through the acrylic rod really attract the light well and the combination of lights at the top and bottom creates a fluid liquid look.” A 32ft wide feature wall lit by eight Anolis ArcLine Optic 36 RGB LED battens produce the an ideal backdrop for the performers on stage. The main stage lighting rig comprises six Robe Robin 300 Plasma Spots that were chosen for their CRI of 94 - which is perfect for flesh tones - and for their lamp life of 10,000 hours. A total of five Robe LEDForce 18 RGBW par cans are used as stage washers, and four Robe Scan 250 XT scanners and seven Robe LEDForce 7 RGBW par cans highlight the back line of the stage. David described his favourite part of the main lighting rig: “The show-stoppers are two Robe Digital Spot 3500 DTs. We do picture merging between the two units and project onto the back wall of the stage, which is lined with metal bead curtain. They are also used elsewhere around the room - one is shone across the lattice feature wall, while the second is focused over the chef’s table and the tapas bar.” The main bar area is adjacent to the main room. The bar is lit with four lighting elements. The first is the face of the bar has Anolis ArcLink Optic 4 RGBA fixtures with 25 x 6o lenses for a wall grazing effect illuminating the textured thermal plastic fascia. Secondly, the bottles of alcoholic beverages that are stacked in rows behind the bar are lit using Anolis ArcLink 3 RGB fixtures.

Next is the down lighting behind the bar, which is taken care of by Anolis ArcSource 7, 25o fittings in cool white. And finally, at each end of the bar where the service points are, David specified three Anolis ArcSource 1, 10o fixtures in cool white. David continued: “It’s practical lighting so they can see what they are doing, the general illumination for bartenders and waitresses is important, they need to be able to do their job efficiently.” The atmospheric lighting design continues throughout the hallways, the stairways, five dining booths, the second floor bar, and two smaller stages; one upstairs and one in the corner of the main room. The parameter seating in the main room - known as Love Seats - as well as the bathrooms are all equipped with the Anolis fixtures, which best suit the needs of the space. There are also two VIP Rooms, David described the lighting set-up: “The first has seven separate champagne rooms each with its own independent lightshow comprising one Anolis ArcLine Optic 20 MC and one Anolis ArcPower 36 with an ArcControl 128. This allows customers to control their own ambience by varying the intensity and colour. The fixtures are placed above the floor behind the sofa for dramatic effects on the textured ceramic tile wall. The other area is a semi-private dance area. Each dance station is illuminated with an Anolis ArcSource 4 MC 16o unit.” David specified two PC-based Madrix MIDI controllers, one for the Robe Stage Qubes 324’s and the other for the LED dots in the Sky Box area. Here the controller maps each individual pixel to create stunning lighting effects on the reflective see-through bubble panels that have been installed in the Sky Box. The rest of the Robe fixtures and all of the Anolis fixtures are controlled via a Martin Professional LightJockey system. The desk is equipped to control up to 100 fixtures, features 2,048 DMX channels and utilises a USB to DMX interface. David said the
