The team working on first of the two sites using W-DMX was headed by German lighting designer Karl M. Reger. His team developed and realized a concept for Kabomhuset's façade and car park. He used a WE-EF gobo projector (WE-EF FLC254 CC-BL) that was controlled via W-DMX.
Says Reger, "The majority of our installation was indoors and the control signal was fed through cables. However, there was one DMX-controlled luminaire outside the building, and it would have been near to impossible to do without the wireless DMX system here because we could not run cables through the windows. This is where Wireless Solution came in really handy."
The second site using W-DMX was the previously mentioned project tdesigned by Deike Canzler and her group. She used Philips Solid State equipment controlled via W-DMX. The site involved lighting a river, however, the surrounding areas were city streets with no opportunity to run cable to the necessary control points. Falk Düning, Event Manager for VIA Publishing explained, "The challenge for Deike's site was that it was a river that was surrounded by streets. No cables could be run over or under the streets so W-DMX was the perfect solution. W-DMX performed reliably as always. Easy connections, just plug and play."
Niclas Arvidsson, CEO of Wireless Solution commented, "We're always proud to be involved in projects that focus on environmentally friendly lighting solutions. W-DMX leaves zero carbon footprint thanks to the elimination of excess cable. No copper, no additional transport, and no need to dig up the ground to lay cable for safety reasons. Quite a simple choice really."
