Lighting for the two-storey 400 capacity venue was designed by Einar Salomonsen, one of Norway's best known nightclub architects and designers. All fixtures were supplied by Kristiansand-based Live Technic DA, the Robe/Anolis Norwegian distributor, and installed by PA Compagniet AS from Kristiansand using electricians from ABB.
Spot is divided into multiple zones. The main bar and dancefloor offers a music policy of "commercial dance", while the other zones can feature either live performance, DJ or background music.
A wide range of Anolis products have been utilised. The walls and ceilings are lit with Anolis ArcLine Optic RGB with 25 x 6 degree lenses - a mix of 12, 18, 24 and 36 units. A mix of ArcSource 3 and ArcSource 6 RGBs, ArcSource 6 RGB Warm White and ArcSource 6 Warm Whites are used venue-wide for colour washing.
The main stairs are lit with Anolis ArcSource 1s, and there are over 250 ArcLink 3 RGB flexible strips dotted all around the club. Stage lighting includes Anolis ArcPAR 12 RGB WWs and the columns surrounding the dancefloor are down-lit with ArcPAR 3 RGBs.
Over the main dancefloor rigged onto bespoke steel trussing in the ceiling - are six Robe ColorSpot 250E ATs, six Robe ClubScan 250CTs, two ClubRoller 250 CTs, two DigitalSpot 3000 DTs plus a Robe H-400 cracker as well as strobes and lasers.
Dancefloor lighting is controlled by a Jands Vista i3. Lighting around the rest of the club is via seven Artistic Licence LightSwitch panels linked via RDM using an Artistic Licence Rail Split RDM.
The DigitalSpot 3000 DTs are also connected to the in-house LAN so the duty manager can simply log on and change out any flyer information for promotions without anything having to be reprogrammed.
