Candela Controls specified and installed a total of 355 PixelArc R architectural LED luminaires at the resort. 200 colour wash the custom built light box rooms that highlight the four external corners and two towers of the building. The additional 155 are installed inside architectural façade light boxes located above the doorways on the inside of each of the four ballrooms.
The illumination of the light boxes was a major installation challenge. Candela Controls' Bill Ellis explains: "We had to take into consideration the whole design of the feature rooms, how the fixtures would perform in the constraints of the environment and the reaction of the frosted glass covering the rooms. In addition, we had to provide a tremendous amount of coordination with other trades as to what the end effect would be."
He continues: "After many tests, we recommended PixelArc Rs to achieve the desired effect. The boxes were constructed to hide the fixtures, provide enough space to allow the spread of the colour and the walls painted white, so the light could bounce around the room."
