Hoare Lea specified the lighting, with the concept of backlighting the wall behind the large text, whilst simultaneously illuminating the wall with LED projectors from across the street. Specialists Architen Landrell were drawn in to carry out the entire installation.
A total of over 100 Tryka Strip Module Optic IP67 in a variety of lengths were used on the project, with 27 Tryka IDS-4s - the Intelligent Drive System capable of running large numbers of LED fixtures with a number of pre-built functions - used to power and drive the units. As well as being IP-rated for exterior use, Tryka's LED colour-changing Strip Modules also offer a variety of optics, to direct the light output as required by each specific installation. In this instance, all IP67 Strips were fitted with 25° optics.
Architen Landrell completed their work smoothly and swiftly, say Tryka, including programming a custom-built DMX control system to run the IDS Drivers and the entire lighting installation. Architen's Lighting Division's project manager Christopher Rowell enthuses: "The Tryka LED Strips are fully IP-rated, a true install and forget! The IDS-4 Intelligent Drive System is such a versatile driver with many different options but with a simple user interface."
