32 Hundred Lighting light Vivid with Flare

July 18, 2018

32 Hundred Lighting’s Managing Director Iain Reed has been a busy man; he’s recently overseen huge installations he created during Vivid Sydney, including the gigantic ‘Harbour Lights’ project that used GPS to coordinate lighting changes on commercial ships and Sydney ferries covered in LEDs as they move through the harbour.

He also collaborated with artist Joe Cox on ‘Colours of Remembrance’, lighting King’s Cross’s El Alamein Fountain as part of the multiple installations and sculptures in the precinct. Both projects made excellent use of the dazzlingly bright TMB Solaris Flare IP, the IP65 rated wash that kicks out (appropriately) 32,000 lumens!

This vibrant 1/150th-scale “white model” will use bleeding-edge projection mapping technology to bring to life the energy value chain with dynamic animation as the entire tableau cycles from day to night.
