Anolis illuminates the dome of the Champs-Elysées theater with LEDs

With a new design of ProjectScene, this French theater illuminates its glass ceiling, a centerpiece of the room, with the Led Calumma and Eminere models from Anolis Lighting, brand of Robe Lighting, energy efficient.

He theater of the Champs Elysees, located near the famous Parisian avenue of the same name, with capacity for 1.900 personas and one of the first examples of Art Deco architecture, it has been a historical monument of France since 1957..

After its renewal, This stage center now has a new lighting system in its main auditorium ProjectScene, installed by local specialist D6 Bell Light (D6BL), which includes a Sustainable Led solution from Anolis so that the famous 'shield of light', centerpiece of your glass ceiling, and the fresco paintings that surround it take on their maximum relevance.

for the project, Yann Jourdan, ProjetScénie designer, selected the Led Anolis luminaires Calumma y Eminere to illuminate these very specific elements and transform the impressive glass ceiling, of 35 meters in diameter. “The new lighting had to be absolutely perfect, with a 21st century solution for a pioneering work of art from the 20th century, and the use of Anolis contributed to achieving it”, assures.

In addition to energy efficient, the new lighting system had to maintain the 'classical' atmosphere for the theatrical performances, as well as changing the colors for other special events that will be held in the room.

To illuminate the glass, a part of the ceiling painted white is illuminated directly by the lamps, strategically located, Anoles Calumma XL y M coloring the 175 m2 of this glass surface. The models Eminence2 illuminate the circle of frescoes that surrounds the center.

Until ProjetScénie undertook the renovation, this this centerpiece was lit with industrial fluorescents, a challenge whose result has been to recover this significant element of theater, and energize this space space for different events.

“We share the same high standards with Anolis,” says Jourdan.. Las 96 Eminere2 lamps They are arranged in two rows of 48 around the top of the roof, hidden by the edge of the glass, while uniformly illuminating the paintings on the scalloped circular ceiling. Its directional output allows for clear and elegant lighting of the frescoes., and are also reflected in the second balcony, enhancing ambient lighting”.

Ten Calumma XL lamps and twelve of the M model of this series of Anolis are located in the technical zone, in the center of the glass, focused towards the white ceiling, so that the reflected light re-enters the glass.

“The regulation of the Anolis luminaires is extremely smooth and the color mix is exceptional.”; “These two ranges met all the requirements for this project”, Jourdan adds., who clarifies that although the IP classification was not crucial in this case, in the dusty roof hole has been a bonus.

Bruno Francois, specialist in Anolis products Robe Lighting France, has collaborated with the factory design team to create a special white calibration for the Eminere2 model, which covers the range of 1.800 a 4.000º Kelvin. Also completed a 3D modeling to accurately predict the color rendering of the glass surface.

The luminaires are controlled by a module Visual Production CueCore3 with touch screen access, and these Anolis models can also work in the theater's stage lighting console when holding other types of events.
