Over
thirty Philips Showline SL NITRO 510C LED strobes have dazzled audiences at the
packed opening party for WHITE club Dubai\’s third season.
WHITE
Dubai is situated on the rooftop of the glamorous Meydan Grandstand racecourse.
Each season sees a roster of international DJs take to the decks, with the club
offering one of the most extravagant audio-visual party experiences in the
Middle East.
During
the opening party\’s \’reality-altering\’ light show, the Philips Showline strobes
were employed to deliver beat-perfect bursts of color that filled the space
with light. The SL NITRO 510C is the color version of the highly popular SL
NITRO 510 and boasts an array of 264 tightly packed RGB LEDs to ensure maximum
output.
\”The
SL NITRO 510C fixtures played a huge role in providing intense color washes in
conjunction with the LED wash lights,\” says the club\’s lighting designer
Dave Parry of Most Technical. \”Having the ability to color change is
fantastic and allows every look to be in sync. I also wanted to have a strobe
effect running across the entire space, again working with the moving lights.
When the place is rocking the strobe effects cut through and look absolutely
awesome.\”
The
Philips Showline strobes were positioned onto vertical trusses to add a
perspective-bending edge to the light show. The plan is to also place some
units under the central stage to add extra effects to the upcoming season\’s
performances.
\”As
a stand-alone strobe the SL NITRO 510C is fantastic and the icing on the cake
is its range of static and macro effects. These give me a much broader palette
to work with as a designer,\” says Parry.
Rami
Harfouch of Procom Middle East, the lighting and video supplier of the venue
and distributor of Philips Showline, Selecon and Strand Lighting for UAE, adds:
\”WHITE club is a flagship venue for lighting and video equipment in Dubai.
Addmind, the owners and managers of WHITE, are always on the lookout for
cutting edge effects, which is why they embraced Procom\’s proposal to use the
Showline SL NITRO 510Cs to replace their existing
strobes.\”
\”This
is one of the most impressive club venues I have worked on,\” says Parry.
\”The beautiful set-up and environment in addition to the quantity and
sophistication of the equipment supplied by Procom has allowed us to create one
of the best nightclubs in the world.\”
WHITE Dubai
is open on weekends throughout the season and is set to see a jam-packed
calendar of events.
