i-Vision has designed, supplied and installed a colour changing LED lighting system for Flamingos, a brand new gay clubbing destination concept in central Bristol.
The 900 capacity club is independently owned by Stuart Hayles, who asked i-Vision to design the lighting following its eye-catching scheme at L!QU!D, a new club in Chepstow also owned by Hayles.
The main room (Arena 1) of what was once a bank and includes many original features such as vaults and strong room doors, features R'n'B and dance music, a bar and a VIP area upstairs. Its walls are up-lit with 18 of i-Vision's Lumos 3 fittings, while three bubble tanks behind the bar - an integral element of i-Vision's Luke Dodd's creative concept - are lit with a total of 6 Lumos strip 300 fittings.
The VIP room also features two large bubble tank windows overlooking the main dance floor and these are also each lit with 2 Lumos 600 strips. When switched on, they provide an opaque privacy screen for the VIP area, and when off, there's a clear two way view between VIP room and dancefloor.
The recessed front windows of the club are illuminated with 3 Lumos 1200 strips, creating a lightbox type effect, and clearly identifying the club from the other frontages in West Street.
Behind the main room are a series of interlocking 'Vault Bars'. These lead through to Arena 2 at the back of the premises, a completely separate room that features the best of dirty, funky house music.
The Lumos fittings are all driven by i-Vision's Lumos Drive units. A LumosDrive 216 for Arena 1, three Lumos Drive 36s for the front windows and signage and another two for the Vault Bars.
These were programmed up with nine bespoke user-selectable sequences by Dodd, removing the need for an external lighting controller.
