Baxter dim with Philips Strand

28 February 2013

The upgrade and installation of a Philips Strand dimming system at The Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, is now complete.  

The Baxter Theatre at the University of Cape Town purchased their new Philips Strand Wallrack Dimmer units from DWR Distribution. “As time allowed and as the venue became available, the old dimmers were steadily replaced,” commented Dave Whitehouse from DWR.

“We chose Strand because it is a trusted name in theatre lighting, commented Patrick Curtis from The Baxter. “The linkage to Philips is a positive development, but mostly we chose the product because we are assured of 100% backup from DWR.”   Patrick Curtis  

Defining the new standard in permanent installation dimming for small to medium entertainment and architectural venues, the Strand Wallrack is available in three sizes, and with a host of features to suit every application.

Wallrack is convection cooled (no fans) and yet extremely compact – great for distributed dimming schemes or just to get a lot of dimmers into a small space!

“We would like to thank Patrick Curtis from The Baxter for the opportunity to work on this installation,” ended Whitehouse.
