For its fourth franchise, which opened in Münster during February 2007, Cafe 7 chose Zero 88 for the lighting control. The management of the café needed a simple way for staff to seamlessly integrate ambient house lighting, colour changing LED and disco lighting effects. The combination of Chilli dimmers, remote panels and Frog-Box replay unit were chosen for their ease of installation, ease of use and flexible control.
Zoning software in the Chilli dimmers enables different areas to be individually controlled, allowing for separate areas to be created. In the evenings a dance area can be created in one part of the space, whilst subtle mood lighting can be used in another to create the right ambience. The Frog-Box reply unit and touch screen allow for single button activation of the complex colour mixing and disco effects.
Design, specification, installation, programming and support for the project were provided by Andreas Quil & Frank Schwegmann of Zero 88 distributor Musik Productiv.
