Durhamld Limited selects Chauvet for new lighting system at 1Rebel

Stepping inside the newest of London’s 1Rebel boutique fitness and riding centers, visitors are swept up in a panorama of colors, lasers and effects more reminiscent of a nightclub or the inside of a computer game than a place where one goes to get toned abs.

Playing a key role in 1Rebel’s lighting system, which was designed by Durham Marenghi of Durhamld Limited, are 54 Chauvet Professional Colorado 1 Solo and 11 Colorado 2 Solo LED fixtures supplied by Middlesex Sound and Lighting.

“I was approached by Giles Dean and his team at 1Rebel to create some night club style lighting for their gyms around London”, says Marenghi. “Working alongside Ryan Hopkins at Lights Control Rigging, we created a virtual animation to present the concept to our client.”

The RGBW Colorado fixtures were selected for Marenghi’s plan to balance the fitness center’s video walls and moving fixtures with fields of colored light. Of critical importance were the zooming optics of the Colorado fixtures, which allow instructors to change up looks during exercise and cycling sessions. 

“Project manager Toby Jones and his team as well as programmer Dean Osborne were fundamental to the project’s success”, states Marenghi. He and the team and Middlesex Sound and Lighting have created similar, albeit less ambitious systems for 1Rebel’s other fitness centers in London. As for the flagship Victoria location, it opened to much fanfare on July 4 when the UK government eased lockdown restrictions. Sadly, it had to shutter its doors in October when the virus spiked.
