ASTI, Italy – The Red & Black entertainment complex offers a bowling alley, casino, billiards room, bar restaurant and live entertainment stage, serving the needs of a wide audience. SI Line, which manages the entertainment venue, turned to Robe Multimedia for stage, effects and environmental lighting. Robe Multimedia's Marco Bartolini was the account handler, while Ermanno Tontini took on the role of lighting consultant, specifying the gear and working with the venue's technical manager, Roberto Villa. Audio Effetti Genova installed the Robe and Anolis fixtures.
The live entertainment venue includes a seated area for 200 to 300 people, who can eat and drink while enjoying the live entertainment, which varies from rock 'n' roll bands to comedians and cabaret acts.
To meet the need for a flexible lighting system, Tontini decided on 10 Robe ClubSpot 250s and 4 REDWash 2-36s, which are hung over the stage.
The REDWash 2•36 is an LED moving head with 36 1 Watt Luxeon K2 LEDs offering RGB color mixing. The ClubSpot 250 CT, meanwhile, offers a gobo wheel with 10 static gobos including two replaceable slots + open, continuous rotation and gobo shake; an 11-color wheel + white and rainbow effect in both directions, manual focus, plus combined dimmer/shutter and strobe effects.
The fixtures are controlled via a Jands Vista S1 console.
For the bar and restaurant areas and the bowling alley, 96 Anolis ArcSource 3 RGB fixtures were put to use, complete with 38 degree lenses. These are distributed throughout the three areas, illuminating the walls, ceiling and tables with numerous different color combinations.
"It was a great project to be involved in, and demonstrated perfectly the synergy between the Robe and Anolis brands and how they can work together providing different lighting requirements in the same space," Tontini said.
