MORE CASE STUDIES TOWER OF CRISTO RE
Company: DTS Location: Civitanova Marche, Italy
On Saturday 15 June in the Marche area of Italy - the majestic Tower of Cristo Re was illuminated by way of celebrating the ‘Blue Flag’ award, an internationally recognisable award for the quality of the area’s bathing water. The lighting installation was designed and executed by Yuri Cecarini. He said: “I used two types of LED projectors from DTS, the Delta 8 and the FOS 33 full colour bar.” The tower was illuminated from two different levels below. Yuri installed eight DTS Delta 8’s with wide flood optics, placed two by two, with two different angles: one covering from 0-20 metres and the other for 20 metres upwards. A further four pairs of DTS Delta 8’s, two on the roof and two on the ground - positioned at about five metres away from the tower – were also installed. A total of six DTS FOS 33 bars were installed on the balcony to illuminate the final part of the tower, with its characteristic eight metre high cone shape; the FOS were placed three metres from each other and one metre away from the cone. A further 12 more DTS FOS 33 bars were positioned at the base of the tower. All fixture were powered and controlled via DTS Z8.

ECI CULTUURFABRIEK
Company: ETC Location: Roermond, The Netherlands
A new theatre in Roermond, south eastern Holland, has decided that energy saving is the way forward - and has been fitted out with entirely LED fixtures. ECI Cultuurfabriek is a converted former chemical factory which was abandoned in the 1970’s. After many years of discussion about the building’s future, it was decided a refurbishment would take place it, turning it into a space for the whole community to use. Technical Manager, Maarten Janssen invested in 30 ETC Source Four Lustr+ and 22 ETC Selador Desire Lustr+ LED luminaires for its 244-seat theatre space, tak- ing advantage of extra funding available for environmentally sustainable projects. Maarten explained why he chose the ETC fixtures: “I saw the LED demonstrations on ETC’s YouTube video library. The fixtures have incredibly smooth fades, which I’ve never seen in any other LED fixture. And the range of colours is impressive. “At the beginning, visiting theatre groups were suspicious of the capabilities of LED. But as soon as they see the power and versatility of these fixtures, they never fail to be impressed. I always discuss with them why the seven colour LED system is better than any RGB system, and they always leave with a big smile. The Source Four LED fixtures are just magnificent.” The use of LED has been beneficial in helping to keep the room cool, added Maarten: “For every thousand watts of lighting, we used to have 250W of air conditioning. Now, with almost no heat being emitted by the LEDs, we need far less climate control. Which means less energy usage both by the lights and the air cooling, and the performers are also more comfortable – plus, of course, there’s less noise.” Lightco Project Manager, Marnix Kulling said: “The process by which Maarten specified the LED fixtures was a long one, in which he needed to garner the sup- port of all types of different people, from technicians to funders. I was pleased to be in a position to supply him with data which would back up his decision making, and could help him prove that the ETC LED fixtures would be the right choice in the long term, both technically and financially.” The theatre also invested in two ETC Ion control desks: one for the theatre space, and the other for the dance music area, Pop, which can accommodate up to 1,000 people standing.
