Tirso Lighting installs Elation gear at Arka Room

New York City’s Arka Room, known as Arka Lounge before rebranding, features a dynamic Elation Professional lighting system. Arka Room, capacity about 200, differs from the original Arka Lounge in that the current space is a bit smaller and was designed as a modern day “speakeasy” type of club. Besides hosting live events weekly, the upper Manhattan nightspot can be hired for private parties, weddings, and other special events.

Arka Room’s small size required a compact moving light effect. Tirso Pelaez - owner of Tirso Lighting, the NYC-based design and integration company responsible for the design makeover - found it in the Elation E Spot III LED moving head, twelve of which are in the venue, primarily over the dance floor.

Lining the entire perimeter of the venue are Sniper 2R multi-effect lights used to immerse partygoers in a quick moving barrage of light. Located at the back of the stage are compact ACL 360i LED lights with a 4° beam and continuous 360-degree rotation. Pelaez says the fixtures are used primarily to highlight the performers on stage. Used as a static stage wash are SixPar 200 LED Par lights.

In order to deal with the issue of a relatively small space, Pelaez used a combination of black reflective panels to create a larger feel. “It's a small ceiling height, about 12 ft high, so we felt adding a reflective surface would be a tremendous help, not only to amplify the space but to amplify the lighting. From any given point it doubles the height and the amount of lighting.” The room also houses high resolution LED video panels and other lighting.
