Anolis illuminates Rhyl

Anolis LED luminaires have been specified for the Welsh seaside resort of Rhyl. They are used to light key landmarks in the town including the 76 metre high Sky Tower which is prominent on the seafront skyline.

Additional lighting installations include the front façade and the fly tower of the Pavilion Theatre, the clock tower, seafront waterfall and new sea wall viewing shelters. Andy Hughes, technical manager of the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre, specified the Anolis fixtures in conjunction with Anolis UK technical sales specialist Simon Gooding.

The first phase of lighting involved highlighting the sea wall and three new viewing shelters, part of constructions to fortify the flood prone town which is regularly lashed by storms during the winter and vulnerable to tidal flooding.

The shelters are built from concrete and although Andy Hughes wasn’t involved during the first phase of the design process, once the idea of lighting them was mooted, the physical design was changed to fit the Anolis ArcSource 1MCs RGBW which were specified for illumination. Twelve ArcSource 1MCs are installed in each shelter, driven by Anolis Outdoor ArcPower units and DMX controlled via a Pharos system.

When it came to completing the Sky Tower and Pavilion Theatre façade lighting, Hughes selected Anolis products again. It was important that the Sky Tower was evenly lit, as it presides, beacon-like, over SC2, a family entertainment zone below. Twenty-four Anolis ArcSource Outdoor 48MC RGBW integrals were chosen for the task. The fixtures are rigged on a special ring bracket secured around the tower - donut style - at 106 ft. from the ground, around two thirds of the way up. Integration was provided by Anolis Partner LTP Integration.

The current Pavilion Theatre is located on the East Parade seafront. An opaque Perspex strip covers 13 x Anolis ArcLine Optic 36 RGBW linear luminaires running up the exterior of the tower, and another 12 linear luminaires - six per side - highlight a large panelled area on the venue’s front façade, positioned 15 ft. apart.

Essential bi-lingual signage (English and Welsh) on the theatre is picked out with a couple of Anolis ArcSource 96 Integral RGBW wireless units (with 13 degree optics) complete with a custom made top hat to stop road glare into traffic, which are linked into the same Pharos control system running the Theatre façade lighting.
