The venue, a former restaurant converted to nightclub use, lies in British Columbia's sparsely populated north and features the biggest dance room in a 350 km radius.
Spaced evenly around the perimeter of a 21' x 21' truss suspended 16ft above the club's dance floor are Martin smartMACs, Mania SCX600 scanners and Mania EFX700 and Mania EFX800 effect lights. Surrounding a cluster of 17 mirror balls at the centre of the truss are Atomic strobes and Mania EFX500 effect lights.
Dispersed around the club's ancillary areas and providing a splash of wall décor are Mania DC1 water effects. A canopy of mid air haze and atmospheric fog is provided by a Jem ZR33 Hi-Mass fogger with lighting control for the system via a PC based Martin LightJockey. All Martin equipment was supplied by Martin's Canadian representative, Martin Canada.
"The Martin lighting was chosen because of my experience with the Martin line, and the unreal reliability of these fixtures," Williams commented. "The smartMACs offer the best light output and the greatest movement for such a compact easy-to-service fixture. These light effects are so easy to use, set up and run." In the future, Williams will be adding at least four more smartMACs to the rig because, as he says, "they are so cool."
