The eclectic O2 in London (formerly the Millennium Dome) can already claim to be a success, with world-acclaimed artists performing sell-out concerts and entertainment on offer for all ages and tastes.
The VIP entrance leading from the Queen Elizabeth II Pier on the river Thames to the O2 has been given the LED lighting treatment to improve the visitor experience.
Architen Landrell have helped shape this striking part of the venue thanks to their design, manufacture and installation of a weatherproof tunnel leading visitors to the Arena from the waterfront.
35 Tryka Module 36 IP67 with oval optics are installed inside the custom-built 150m long tunnel, with Tryka’s IDS-4 rack Intelligent Drive System controlled by an LPC DMX system.
The luminaires offer a wide beam angle for illuminating the vast area and their IP rating means they are ideal for exterior use. Furthermore their slimline and stylish silver finish was also useful, as the units are installed on a prominent position on the columns and therefore needed to be aesthetically pleasing.
Rowell continues: “A further achievement was installing all the drivers in a control room 150m away from the luminaires, which resulted in an impressive number of cable routes which had to be hidden in the supporting steel work.”
