Digital solutions specialists Projected Image Digital (PID) has specified, supplied and installed an innovative, dynamic LED lightwork in the foyer/entrance of Tate Liverpool, located on the City’s historic Albert Dock.
The requirement was for a 'lightgate' concept, designed to refresh and revitalise the foyer and entrance areas.
The 'lightgate' is made from Barisol stretch material which needed to be internally lit and PID were approached to advise on the best light sources and to help co-ordinate the engineering and realisation of the project.
The idea was to end up with a selection of shifting light patterns visible from right across the Albert dock, not just to those entering the Tate, along with simple bold displays of the gallery layout and a re-orientated reception area with a dramatic new desk unit.
Given the narrow space between the Barisol and the wall, PID came up with the idea of having double rows of newly designed custom LED strips. These use 1 Watt Luxeon LEDs in a double configuration, with 2 LEDs side by side and 20 emitters per strip in 1200 and 600 mm lengths.
A total of 46 of the special LED strips are used to illuminate the lightgate - an area of 48sq m, each placed at 20mm intervals and fixed to the steel RSJs behind the Barisol covered area.
For control, PID specified a Pharos LPC1, which was programmed to give 16 accessible buttons, each triggering a different sequence or look.
Currently the standard setting is 'white full' for normal daytime use when the galleries are open to the public. In the evenings, events and functions can utilise the coloured sequences.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
