_ Remembering The Paris Victims project
November 30, 2015
thornico building
Nothing can compensate for the loss. At least 130 people were killed in terrorist attacks on Nov. 13 in the French capital. They were mostly young people, out having fun. The victims included an architect, an American college student, an Algerian violinist and many, many music fans. The French Tricolore was seen on the Rotterdam Thornico Building. Thornico wanted to show its compassion and asked Contractor WL Techniek and 4Stage.net to create two French national flags size 10 meters wide and 12 meters high, which was achieved in just a couple of hours. The flags were clearly visible on the roof of the building for one week.

Dydell, Dynamic Design LED Light, is a unique light source for completely new applications, made of two semi-spheres, both fitted with RGB and warm white LEDs. Both semi-spheres can be controlled separately, combining rich colors with bright warm white light. Dydell light source integration in DMX en DALI controlled systems is enabled by the Dydell master unit. Interesting? Contact 4Stage.net about this unique product, made in The Netherlands!

Pyrasied Diffuser Company are Dutch specialists in light diffusing materials. Their latest is PyraLED ST6, emitting light with a beam of exactly 66 degrees. This results in an extreme transmission of pure diffuse light which enables designs with strictly defined UGR values. Great for backlighting, or for creating diffused ceiling lights.

Dutch manufacturer CLS-LED adds another sibling to the already impressive Revo product line. Revo LED luminaires share modularity. These luminaires use latest generation Lumileds and Cree LEDs for outstanding performance and light output, while a vast range of LED colors, various lenses (including elliptical) and blank and black housing are available. The Revo range now counts 3 surface mount versions: Revo (20 Watts), Revo Compact (10 Watts) and the new Revo Micro. The Revo Inground (20 watts) and Revo Compact Inground (10 Watts) feature double IP67 protection, developed for outdoor inground applications.

The Revo Micro is unbelievably compact and measures only 13 cm, adjustable mounting bracket included. Featuring one 5 Watts LED, power is either direct 100-240V AC or 24V AC/DC. With a CNC machined, IP67 rated solid aluminum housing, the Revo Series is suitable for outdoor applications. The Revo Micro is a fine choice for subtle yet powerful lighting of architectural structures, monuments or facade details and can be used in landscape lighting as well.


_ Cuety lighting control

With more and more apps for wireless lighting control becoming available, Visual Productions’ Cuety for iOS will revolutionize iPad DMX lighting control. It takes advantage of the iPad’s multi-touch capability and conforms to the industry-standard cue list system, enabling entry level users to master the ‘language’ that professionals speak when designing and programming professional lighting. And professional users now have a very affordable wireless tool for designing and programming smaller architectural, retail or residential installations as well.

The LPU, Cuety’s hardware, contains the engine that runs your show, calculates fade times and renders dynamic effects. Since the Cuety app is only the user interface, your show will continue in the case of a WiFi network interruption. Cuety comes with over 3,800 personality files, including those for generic fixtures like single channel, RGB, RGBW etc. The Cuety Remote app for iOS enables customers to change lighting scenes without ruining the programmed cues. Cuety is a genuine gem for both entry level user and lighting professional alike!


_ Grenswerk project
March 12, 2015

4Stage.net was consulted for co-designing and fine tuning the new lighting control system of recently opened venue Grenswerk in Venlo, The Netherlands. Combining all LED lighting lines in the venue into both general lighting and emergency lighting was a challenge, with the building control system generating the necessary triggers in case of an emergency. And of course these triggers need to be handled with priority over other lighting control, immediately indicating an emergency situation. Additionally, these LED lines need also be controlled by an external lighting desk in case of a show or performance, resulting in even more intelligence required: the standard DMX patch now changes dynamically depending on connection of an external lighting desk.

All lighting controllers were neatly installed by Maastricht based company MediaService. Acclaim Lighting’s Art SSC solid state lighting controller (2 pcs) and Art IO input/output interface (8 pcs) were used throughout the venue, while a simple looking but very intelligent Art B6 6-button lighting controller is being used in the venue’s restaurant.
