Not only is this once-destined-for-the-wrecking-ball site now a thriving 180-room hotel that caters to urban, tech-savvy travellers, it has actually become a defining landmark in the city's skyscape. This is in large part due to the Elation Professional Level Q7 IP LED pars that encircle its roof, changing colours and sending washes of light down its columns, creating a nightly visual display that has become a rainbow-like beacon for locals and visitors alike.
The Level Q7 IP lights were installed on the building's exterior by Omni Lighting Sales & Service (Tulsa, OK). Rated at IP65, the Level Q7s are rugged enough to withstand outdoor conditions, and with the power of 7 x 15W Quad Colour RGBW LEDs, these compact pars provide ultra-smooth colour mixing and impressive brightness.
So impressive are the Level Q7s that they've become nothing short of 'media stars', recognisable to thousands of Tulsa TV viewers. "The building shows up on the nightly news every evening," explained Kevin Martin of Omni Lighting Sales & Service. "They have a camera permanently pointed at the downtown skyline. When they do the weather, they cut to a night shot of the skyline, and the Elation pars show up very nicely."
