Creative Art from Ice*lighting
The ice*lighting batten from Telectra of Witney, Oxford, consists of eight hexagonal ice*lighting tiles fixed to a batten which has its own computer system, power supply and on-board thermal management system adapted from the company’s aerospace designs in electronic engineering. Battens can be positioned vertically or horizontally, independently or linked. They can also be ‘daisy chained’ for power supply and data input.
The on-board computer comes with a permanent library of 50 sequences / effects and memory for a further 950, for custom construction by the lighting designer using their own PC and the free software supplied, if so desired. Effects are selected using the inbuilt control panel and synchronised through master/slave configuration or through DMX from the lighting console (which also triggers sequences). A group of battens may run the same sequence, different sets of sequences or run completely independently of each other.
Software allows the lighting designer to create their own batten designs and the sequence and timing that they will run at. Effects include customised designs, colour flooding, colour strobing, batten blending etc.
