ROBIN DLX Spot

During the past year, Microsoft Bryanston has enjoyed the use of a new training facility particularly set up to equip staff operating their call centre. The intimate cinema style venue, which includes a stage on which four call centre desks have been set up, has been kitted with four Robin 300 LED Wash Fixtures, two Robin DLXs, 10 Philips Selecon Acclaim Profiles, a 6-Way Philips Strand dimmer and LSC Clarity for control.

The project was awarded to Dimension Data and overseen by their Project Manager, Andre Parsons. “The client and their PM were very accommodating and understanding, and the project in general went very well,” said Parsons. “Feedback I received has been very positive and the few times that I have been there after completion, has seen the venue being used without any problems.

DWR Distribution supplied the lighting gear. “The Robin 300 LED fixtures are positioned above each of the four desks for colour change,” said Keith Pugin from DWR. Philips Selecon Acclaim fixtures hang off a 12m custom designed lighting bar, positioned over the seating area. The units provide crisp, white, profile lighting for the stage area.

The DLX units, which circulate the Mircrosoft logo around the venue, have been suspended midway, on either side of the concrete ceiling.

Dimming is via a 6-way Philips Strand Dimmer and all fixtures are controlled by LSC Clarity, a PC and Mac based lighting and media control package.
