CLF and Martin Professional update for Versuz
- Details
Fairlight, distributor for CLF Lighting and Martin Professional in Benelux, was responsible for installing the new equipment in the venue’s Main Room. Together with Bert Gemels and his technical team they managed to dismantle the old construction and install the complete new setup within four days. Together with one programming day, the club was up and running for another weekend full of events.
Yves Smolders, general manager of Versuz, reports: “From the very first contact I enjoyed working together with the Fairlight team. They all have a down to earth approach and think along with our budget and needs. I am convinced that this is just the start of a long-term cooperation.”
Bas Scheij (Basz Design), LD for Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, was hired by Fairlight to create a design which has a high profile and classy look. “The design is based on round shapes, in order to get it playful and three dimensional. The former oval shaped LED elements were re-used but replaced to create a more spacious feeling.
“For the area above the dancefloor I designed custom cylinders which can be moved in a vertical direction individually.’ Around the DJ Booth, Eurotruss HD44 circle parts were used to create an intimate feeling. During the design process I always kept in mind that the setup can be scaled down by moving the stage, but without affection the light and video setting.”
The operators of the lighting rig are also happy with the new setup. Nils Berens and Alex van der Krabben: “For us, the Martin Rush MH 10 Beam FX is the most striking. They really stand out because of the high output and the LED circle offers extra possibilities when operating.”
Berens adds, “I am really surprised by the Martin Rush MH 6 Wash. Their output and saturated colours make them a serious addition to my shows. Besides that, I like the flexibility of the Sceptrons. We can control them by DMX or let them be controlled by our VJ, without doing any adjustments.’
Eye catchers of the new design include 24 cones, surrounded by 192 Martin VDO Sceptron 10 linear LED fixtures and 24 Martin Rush MH 10 Beam FX fixtures underneath. Nineteen Martin Rush MH 6 and 22 x Martin Atomic LED with Colours complete the Martin Professional package.
CLF Lighting contributed with 20 pieces of the new Beam-6 fixtures, all located in a circle right behind the DJ booth, providing an impressive lighting curtain. Eight CLF Stingers enhancing the feature set.
