Studio Due Slimbar Plus RGBW Used to Brighten Swedish Shopping Center

To make the Shopping Center, Norsborg, south of Stockholm in Sweden, livelier and brighter, Sylvania Lighting used the Studio Due SLIMBAR PLUS RGBW with 100° filter diffusers. Being really slim (just 40mm wide), it was the perfect choice to fit between the acrylic material and the façade. The separate 20 Pilot Max drivers were pre-addressed and made it very easy for the installers to program the lighting scenes.

A form of music interwoven tightly around this nation’s folk traditions; its deepest meaning evaporates once it’s decoupled from its cultural roots. Lighting Designer, Crt Birsa can’t translate the power of Popevka into words, but he did a brilliant job conveying it in light recently when he lit a TV program of that name using his ChamSys MagicQ MQ80 and a PC Wing, despite having to balance time and deadline issues.Read More »ChamSys Helps Crt Birsa Balance Demands Lighting Popevka Song Competition
