NEW YORK – Breitling, the Swiss watch company, hosted a VIP event for the grand opening of its flagship store in Manhattan. Centigrade coordinated the event for the 4,500-square-foot store, which displays more than 900 watches. PRG helped create the red carpet area outside the store, using TechnoLite-supplied GDS LiteWare UL RGB uplighters for color-changing effects. Battery-powered and controlled with wireless DMX, the LED fixtures eased setup for the event, and with a 24-hour battery life, the fixtures were more than sufficient to lend upscale color-changing effects to the occasion.
"The light fixtures worked really well for us," said Julie Barnard, president of Centigrade Inc. "We wanted a clean look and didn't want to run power cables outside in the snow. The fittings looked great and gave us the flexibility to change color as needed."
The fixtures, distributed in North America by A.C.T lighting, are available in UL (40W) or HO (80W) and have an IP45 rating for internal or external use. They can be operated with either W-DMX or SHoW DMX control, and multiple fittings can be charged in LiteWare's 4 or 6 Way charging flightcase. A floor bracket is also available.
