Conference Center in Salt Lake City chooses Robert Juliat for lighting upgrade
The Conference Center, the premier meeting hall for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, has invested in 85 Robert Juliat Dalis 864 footlights with a 4-colour mixing system to enhance performances in the 21,000-seat auditorium.
“We purchased eight of the white version Dalis 862 LED asymmetrical footlights about ten years ago and have had zero problems with them, so we decided to buy additional units of the colour version”, says Braden Howard, Lighting Specialist III, who serves as the resident Lighting Designer at The Conference Center. The new fixtures were obtained from Barbizon Light of the Rockies, Utah.
“The Dalis 862 footlights are part of the rig for events held in the space, but for the upgrade we decided to go full colour”, Howard continues. “Now, we can use them wherever we need them, for scenic lighting or, in a semi-permanent position, lining the edge of the stage.”
The new fixtures are expected to be installed in September. Their first usage will likely be the annual “Luz de las Naciones”, a multi-night celebration of traditional and contemporary Latin American music staged in November. “We can use the new lights to uplight solo singers for the camera, and to act as shin busters for the dancers throwing colour on their costumes”, says Howard.
Following that event will be the 2025 Christmas special where the Dalis 864s are expected to be deployed in a similar way plus as scenic lighting. “We have a fully built set for Christmas”, Howard notes. “We can move the Dalis footlights around, so we can put them on different levels of the set and, since they have a low profile, they will be hidden. Their finish doesn’t catch a lot of light either, so they seem to disappear in the dark.”
