Overview
How do you make a world renowned landmark like Canada Place in Vancouver, British Columbia more attractive? Add high performance color changing solid-state lighting. Located on the waterfront of the Pacific Ocean Canada Place is one of the most interesting and unique architectural landmarks in Vancouver. With the help from Illumivision Inc. a vision to transform this landmark into a sea front spectacle was accomplished.
The Specifics
Conceptualized by the Canada Place Corporation, a series of pre-programmed color combinations and shows were composed for a variety of nightly scenes that symbolize waves in the ocean to the Canadian Flag for special occasions. To accomplish these looks, 40 Light Wave LX fixtures were mounted on the promenade light standards. They were spaced approximately 32.8 feet (10.0m) apart on top of the light standards with a setback of 60 feet (18.28m). Fixtures were equipped with either an 8 degree optic in order to reach the top of the 90 foot (27.04m) distinctive fabric sails while 24 degree optics were used to fill in the middle portion of the sail. This use of compact fixtures and varied optics allowed for a unique illuminated surface with vibrant, dynamic color changing effects.
In order to provide custom shows to the client Illumivision used the Interactive Technologies Sidewinder XR DMX controller. The small, compact eight configurable push button player allowed Illumivision to write 7 radically different shows for Canada Place. Using a Palm pilot, Illumivision technicians were able to quickly author the shows and test them in real-time days before the unveiling. Once the client signed off on the custom shows, all that was left was to setup a timer that would allow the shows to run continuously throughout the upcoming nights during the year.
