White Light supplies Elation KL Series for Bangor University Arts and Innovation Centre

Bangor University’s Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre, North Wales, recently completed a major upgrade to its theatre and studio lighting systems with Elation KL Series fixtures to move toward a more sustainable technical infrastructure. Lighting specialist White Light supplied and facilitated onsite demonstrations as well as provided technical guidance to Pontio’s in-house team, who carried out the full installation.

As the University’s arts and innovation center, the venue is home to numerous teaching and learning spaces, including a 600-seat flexible theatre, a 200-seat cinema, a studio theatre, and an Innovation Center. With program of music, drama, gigs, cinema, cabaret, and more, Pontio is in use seven days a week for the benefit of both the university and local community.

The majority of Pontio’s traditional tungsten fixtures were replaced with LED fixtures, resulting in lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance time, and expanded creative possibilities for visiting artists and companies. Pontio took a phased approach to the project, first fully converting its studio spaces, and then upgrading the majority of the theatre’s fixtures.

The new system is built around Elation KL Fresnels and KL Profile Compacts, offering the versatility required for a theatre space that routinely transitions between different configurations on a day-to-day basis. The project team installed sixty KL Fresnel 6 FC, twelve KL Profile FC Compact, and two Obsidian Netron EN4 Ethernet-to-DMX gateways for signal distribution.
