SGM P-2s and P-5s light up cranes of Montreal
- Details
Creativ Nation’s Martin Berthiaume says: “My client wanted to put promotional emphasis on his new real estate project under construction - a 30-story retirement tower, the highest in Canada.”
The company faced extensive challenges to illuminate the structures without hindering the construction and SGM’s wireless DMX technology provided versatility without compromising the functionality of the wash light.
Berthiaume explained: “Our first challenge was to limit the installation of wiring so as not to obstruct the various mechanisms of the crane from a height of 200ft. With the help of the wireless DMX technology of SGM, we were able to carry out this mandate with brilliance.”
Power consumption and output of the LEDs also factored into this project; these issues were also resolved deploying SGM’s luminaires due to their bright and powerful output, and relatively low power consumption.
Another concern was how the fixtures would fit into the limited space. Relying on the versatility and the mounting orientations of the fixtures, he began to test their durability. “We had to rely on the mounting brackets of the fixtures for major safety concerns in connection with the vibrations of the crane, constantly in motion. Follow up visits revealed that the P-5 and P-2 linking system had not moved a millimeter.”
It was important to create an eye-catching architectural piece without adding a large number of fixtures. SGM’s saturated colours and extremely bright output allowed Berthiaume to succeed with ease. “The end result was spectacular and enabled us to note that we had overestimated the number of units needed. The impact and enthusiasm around the illumination of the crane was a huge success and we are extremely proud of the end result.”
The SGM P-5 LED wash light is now available for rental in the Montreal region.
