Capitol Cinema

“We want this area to really stand out” was the brief from the Dominion Road Business Association. The Dominion Road Balmoral business precinct needed a lift and Deco Light was engaged to provide the inspiration. Two large overheads run across Dominion Road, each featuring 240 large DMX Festoon Lights. These overheads can display a huge range of colours and effects as each light is individually controlled. The historic Capitol Cinema facade is washed with coloured light from over 50 luminares, each focussed on the intricate features of the facade. Contrasting colours can totally change the look of the building for different seasons and celebrations. Festoon Lighting along the parapet, gutter line and under the entrance canopy results in the classic “Hollywood Cinema” look, except these festoons can display colours and effects. The entire installation is coordinated by a centralised control system. A range of Scenes can be selected with synchronised effects running through the overheads, across the wash-lit facade and through the festoons. Scene selection and control is online via a Deco Light Spira IoT Controller; control can be from a browser or Smartphone App. The result is a mesmerising lighting display that really “makes the area stand out”.
