cyclorama lights and a similar number of
tungsten groundrows,” explains Patrick.
“These have been excellent workhorses,
but conventional lighting xtures come
with their problems as well.”

“The age and fragility of these xtures
meant lamp replacement was becoming
more and more frequent and a bit of a
chore. Focusing was cumbersome and
limited to the tilt angle provided by the
yoke, and the weight of the xtures made
it less attractive to move them around the
venues as needed. The number of colours
one could use was always limited to four,
and we had to y the bar down between
scenes to switch colours.

Most importantly, each unit within the
four-part xtures drew 1000W of power,
meaning all eight xtures at full power
would draw 32,000W (double that, when
you include the groundrows), which was
simply too much and required quite a
number of dimmers to power them.”

Tevin Heng, Executive Director at Total
Solution Marketing Pte Ltd, Robert Juliat's
exclusive Singaporean distributor, brought
the Robert Juliat Dalis xtures to the
attention of the team at LASALLE. Patrick
and his team established that ten units
would be perfect to backlight the 13m x
7m span of The SIA Theatre's cyclorama,
despite the short throw distance available.
Five RJ Dalis units have now been installed
on a truss behind The SIA Theatre's
cyclorama cloth and another ve Dalis
units placed on the oor at a distance of
1.5m, from where they combine to
provide seamless and supremely
controllable coverage.

“As with most venues in Singapore, there
is always a lack of distance between cyc-
cloth and wall for proper cyclorama
lighting, with the distances normally

ranging from 0.5m to 2.5m,” says

LASALLE's Sayuthi. “The Dalis, however,

were able to give an excellent beam

coverage even at these short distances.

The output is extremely bright and the

operation is simple with a very user-

friendly interface on the xture. Add to

that the light weight of each unit

combined with the good quality

manufacture and we are very happy.”

“The Robert Juliat Dalis provided our

venue with solutions to all the problems

we had with the old lights,” agrees

Patrick. “Being LED units, there is no more

need to replace lamps, which in turn

means we need less storage space for

replacement bulbs. The 8-colour LED

system provides us with innite colour

possibilities, from dark blues, to bright

reds and cool whites. What is even more

impressive is the warm LED mode that

provides a colour temperature similar to a

tungsten source: Dalis succeeds where

many other LED xtures have failed in

creating exceptionally good warm white

(2200k) and cool white (6500k) colours.

Focusing Dalis is easy, without any

restrictions, and the weight of the xture

is manageable enough to be carried

effortlessly by one person, so we can move

them to which ever space we want.

Best of all, because Dalis only draws 300W

of power per unit, it is far more cost-

efcient to run these units long-term. Ten

of these babies would only take 3000W to

power, which is less than one single unit

of our old conventional xtures!”

Patrick added, “There were several LED

cyclorama options we looked at and, other

than the product suitability, we also

strongly considered the level of local pre-

and post-sales support available from their

distributors. We knew from past

experience that we can depend on the

excellent after-sales service and support

from Total Solution, which has a long

reputation for being a trustworthy lighting

distributor with great products and

services.”

Innovative Technologies

at DesignInspire 2017

HONG KONG: Mindstec was appointed to

be the dedicated Interactive Experience

Partner of DesignInspire 2017, an

international exhibition about creativity

and design organized by HKTDC, on 7-

Dec 2017 in Hong Kong.

Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive of HKSAR

was the Guest-of-Honour at the event.

Mindstec took the opportunity to

showcase a variety of innovative solutions

including 65” P-Cap Interactive Displays,

2x2 Video Wall and Irregular Video Wall

for different applications thus creating an

interactive experience for visitors to the

event.

Collaboration Software, ThinkHub

There were two MTC 65” Projected

Capacitive Touch (P-Cap) Interactive

Displays showcased in DesignInspire 2017.

The P-Cap technology allows more

accurate and exible operation of the

displays. One of them was used as an

interactive touch display for browsing

websites near the entrance. Visitors found

it very useful for nding event information

or browsing websites via the large touch

display.
