The lights - three MiniMes and seven LEDBeam 100s - were specified by Tom Griffin of Griffin Automation OSF and are installed in the centre of the venue. Their small size and unobtrusive design is a perfect blend with the classy high-detail style and vibe on display at Haven.
The Robe units were recommended by David Chesal, who was asked by Haven's technology director Ricardo Agudelo to provide a fresh, new, contemporary lighting scheme that offered something different and interesting for Haven customers.
"They were absolutely perfect for the job," comments David, whose creative lighting work is renowned across the US club scene.
The MiniMes -small LED-driven effects lights with full video output - project across the walls, bar tops and onto the dancefloor, while the LEDBeam 100s beam around the space adding extra layers of colour, movement and energy, particularly to the late night mix, ultimately encouraging guests to stay longer and enjoy the ambience.
Images and video content related to promotions or special events can be uploaded to the MiniMe heads and projected around the room.
Using LED lightsources is also proving a power-saving benefit to Haven, an advantage of which all club and venue operators are becoming increasingly aware.
