Three new Philips Strand Digital Wallracks, 24 x 2.5kw, have been installed at the Springs Civic Theatre in Ekurhuleni, South Africa. Along with Longman LED parcans, the equipment has been tried and tested in the production Prison Without Steel Bars, Changing Times and various school reviews recently.
While Ekurhuleni may mean “place of peace” in Xitsonga, the past seven months have been flat out for the team running the theatre. In the midst of it all a tender was awarded to DWR Distribution to supply and install lighting equipment.
“We have used the gear and so far we are totally happy with the upgrade,” commented Dawid van Eeden, Theatre Stage Manager.

The Philips Strand permanent installation-dimming unit is great for small to medium entertainment and architectural venues, is convection cooled and compact.
“Philips Strand provided the most economical but reliable dimmers for this size theatre,” said Dave Whitehouse of DWR. “We have known Dawie and Eduard Coetzee from Ekurhuleni Arts and Culture for many years now and it was a privilege to be given this opportunity.”
