i-Vision has supplied 144 modules of its Lumos Link RGB LED system and two of its new Lumos Drive 216 controllers to the RAF Museum in London.
The fixtures were specified and purchased by Sean Penn, the museum's AV engineer after i-Vision was recommended by The Society of TV Lighting Directors, who staged an event at the Museum.
Penn was looking for a lighting effect to enhance the 'Milestones of Flight' building, which tells the story of flight and from balloons and the first powered flights, complete with some impressive pieces of military hardware, right up to the Eurofighter.
The hangar, which has an arched tensile roof, is also used for corporate events, dinners, awards ceremonies and functions of all types and what was needed was a permanent lighting installation to add a touch of subtle elegance, warmth and panache to the general evening ambience.
Penn said: “We basically wanted something a bit special. Apart from that there was limited power available, so LED was an ideal option.”
The project was handled for i-Vision by Luke Dodd, who advised on the appropriate product. Lumos Link is a system of 1W Cree LEDs ideal for all types of commercial lighting applications, offering easy installation and control, energy efficiency and long life.
The two Lumos Drive 216's were programmed with bespoke chases and scenes which can be selected for a variety of looks. They offer straightforward and versatile control and the creation of great effects using only one system. They also have a DMX control option, allowing the Lumos Link strips to be integrated into any additional effects lighting that might be brought in for functions and events if required.
Penn is delighted with the results. He undertook the installation himself and says the new lighting has been such a hit with the clients that the museum is now considering adding to the lighting installation in the future.
