The ultra-modern Centro Comercial GranVia in Alicante is one of the foremost shopping malls in the city. Set on two floors it celebrated its busy Christmas season by installing a number of spectacular architectural colour-change effects from PR Lighting.These were supplied and installed by Sound Light Spain (SLS), the Chinese manufacturer’s long-term territory distributor.

SLS were introduced to the project by one of their customers, Pdb Studio, and after conducting various comparative tests the latter voted in favour of PR Lighting.

SLS co-owner Fernando Abad, who is in charge of the company’s lighting department, assisted Pdb Studio in the specification and selection of the devices. They opted for 18 of the twin-head ARC LED 1054 IP65-rated outdoor fixtures (each containing 27x10W 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs and advanced colour mixing). These were chosen for their power and coverage after considering several different alternatives.

Explaining the deployment, SLS system engineer, ÒscarCasassas, said, “The owners wanted to light the glass dome in a uniform and unique way. The customer requested two different lighting scenes— a fixed colour scene(without colour change) and another with changing colour. All scenes have been programmed to work in these different modes and they are on a timer for automatic switching on and off.”

He added that the company had faced pressure in getting the installation completed in time for the Christmas season. “However, this is a permanent installation, and now the lights are in, they are set to remain.”

In conclusion, he confirmed that the customer was delighted with the installation. “As far as this projectis concerned, we achieved all the goals we were set.”
