THE HOUSE OF TERROR
Company: LDR Location: Budapest, Hungary
Located in Budapest, Hungary The House of Terrory museum contains exhibits relating to the fascist and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th Century Hungary and is also a memorial to the victims of these regimes, including those detained, interrogated, tortured or killed in the building. It’s a controversial museum and several historians, journalists and politicians have argued about it but the museum has been a popular tourist attraction, as demon- strated by its many positive online reviews and large visitor numbers. The lighting is an integral part of this success and LDR - with the help of local distributor, Lisys - actively contributed by supplying the state-of-the-art Alba 200W LED profile. LDR’s Fabiano Besio said: “We came across this request when the lighting design- er was in need of a professional alternative to the current tungsten halogen port- folio. The LD wanted a new fixture that could withstand long daily operation hours without a decrease in quality. After a field test comparing the tungsten halogen fixtures with LDR’s LED fixtures, it was pretty obvious for the lighting designer.” With a precise projection, homogenous lighting distribution and great dimming LDR’s Alba 200W LED profile was the perfect match and it worked in combination with the other conventional lighting fixtures.

CALVARY LIFE
Company: Elation Location: Connecticut, USA
During one of the most brutal winters in the history of the state of Connecticut, the Calvary Life Family Worship Center’s three-year-old building collapsed under the weight of the snow. Totally destroyed, the church had to be re-built from scratch. The new $3.5 million facility is not only larger and more sturdily built than its prede- cessor; it also offers its congregation a full range of amenities including a basket- ball-court gym, fitness room, café and youth centre. The focal point of the building is its 700-seat main sanctuary, which features a state-of-the-art lighting, sound and video system designed by Advanced Systems & Technologies, LLC (AST). Both the house and theatrical lighting systems are built around LED products from Elation Professional, including 35 Elation Opti Tri Pars, 20 Elation Pro Par 56 units as well as six Mega Tri Par Profile fixtures from Elation’s sister company, ADJ. Like Calvary Life’s new building itself, the sanctuary’s lighting set-up was designed to go beyond the merely functional. One of its highlights is a circular configura- tion of trussing with the Elation LED pars that dominates the center of the room. Designed by Terry McCarthy, Systems Designer and Chief Engineer at AST, the

dual-circle resembles a high tech metal chandelier. “This is a very contemporary church. We wanted to give it an innovative design,” said Terry. “Many hours were spent focusing on the technical infrastructure of all the audio, video and lighting systems. The lighting, however, is the most innovative.” The house lighting system includes 35 Elation Opti Tri Pars, a DMX RGB col- our-changing par can with 18 3W tri-colour LEDs. While for the theatrical lighting system, Terry used 20 Elation Pro Par 56 LEDs, 16 of them flown and four serving as uplighting. There are also four Elation Platinum Spot 5R moving heads, which can create a variety of effects. The theatrical lights were chosen to provide “colour for creativity, great video wash and added effects, in addition to 36 channels of 1,200W dimming,” said Terry. As with the 140-channel house system, a lot of flexibility was built into the theat- rical lighting system, added Terry: “The theatrical system consists of 96 20-amp circuits distributed on high quality, professional labeled modular raceways. It also features 10 channels of Elation optical DMX control distribution, enabling connec- tivity at six locations on stage, as well as multiple connection points on each truss.” There certainly has been no shortage of enthusiasm for the new cutting-edge lighting system. “The church loves the lighting,” said Terry.
