Selecon Gives More for Less at the Royal Concert Hall
There’s no doubt that staff at the Royal Concert Hall Nottingham are pleased with their choice of Selecon Pacifics which have recently replaced the theatre’s ageing 2k front-of-house profile spots. Thirty Selecon Pacific 12-28’s, including 12 x 5-13° model luminaries, each using only 1k of power, have replaced 40 x 2k spots.
“The Selecon lamps give a better output and show considerable energy savings,” said Pearse Ellis, the Concert Hall’s technical manager. “Everyone is quite impressed.”
The fixtures, supplied by Stage Electrics, were delivered just before Easter and are now fully installed. “The theatre tested a number of manufacturers’ lights before finally settling on the Selecon Pacifics,” said Andy Elsegood of Stage Electrics. “The 5° version of the Pacific, which produces a particularly bright and narrow beam was found to be particularly useful, and the fact that no other manufacturer makes such a model certainly helped the Concert Hall decide on Selecon. However,” he continued, “the big clincher was the energy saving allied to the increased light output.”
There is one additional bonus, according to Elsegood. “The Selecon lights run very cool due to their efficient dissipation of heat through the heat sync,” he said. “This means less energy is required to keep them cool, realising savings in air conditioning costs as well.”
