Lush is within the Kelly's entertainment complex (which includes a hotel, restaurants, bars and holiday chalets). Managing director Peter Wilson asked his technology specialists Light & Sound FX (LSFX) to create a wow factor by delivering advanced LED media displays that would allow the venue's posse of resident VJs to show off their creativity.
Proprietor Darren Gardiner opted for a complete PR Lighting solution. He specified the high-resolution Marveon LED screen P12 Indoor, with 12mm pixel pitch, as the main display above the stage, with a 37.5mm V-LED Spell running messages and graphic FX at high level around the dancefloor.
Meanwhile, in the foyer a further V-LED Spell curtain - each panel tension-hung on a steel wire - is fed from its own dedicated content player to advertise upcoming attractions. All displays were provided by MilTec (UK), PR Lighting's UK and Ireland distributors.
Finally, 24 x PR Lighting Pilot 250 moving heads provide the main beam effects on the suspended Litec truss - which has now been raised substantially higher over the dancefloor in the re-roofed venue to enhance the dramatic effect.
Peter Wilson says the venue is already attracting top DJs - James Zabiela on the opening night followed by Pete Tong and John Digweed, as well as live bands like the Undertones.
