Nine luminaires have been installed, replacing the existing 100W narrow spot par 36 fixtures. Mounted under the floor and at the foot of each column around the atrium - they both highlight and emphasize the depth of the atrium which is in shot behind the Channel 4 news presenters. The PixelPars offer a creative and energy efficient solution providing alternative looks for the news broadcasts on the different channels.
ITN's Hugh French explains: "Our new More4 News show needed a different look which involved a colour change with more light output but without generating excess heat - so the PixelPars' compact size with excellent light output and low wattage compared to conventional lighting, made them a perfect choice."
He continues: "They have also provided a range of vibrant colours that can compete with the high levels of ambient light in the glass-roofed atrium. And they have also enabled us to precisely match the colours of graphics on the various shows - to the delight of the graphics people!"
