In addition, ADJ’s Mega Hex Par fixtures are used to light the various upstairs spaces. Each featuring 5 x 6-Watt HEX LEDs, these compact par-style units offer a useful 25-degree beam angle and versatile dual hanging bracket which makes them equally suitable for event production and permanent installations applications.
Completing the venue’s line-up of atmospheric wash lighting, a mixture of ADJ’s 18P HEX IP and 7P HEX IP fixtures have been used to illuminate the exterior of the venue. These tough, IP65-rated LED pars feature 18 and 7 x 12-Watt HEX LEDs, respectively, with a beam angle of 30-degrees and are designed for use outdoors in any weather. Six of the smaller 7P HEX IP fixtures are used to downlight the venue’s outdoor curbside seating area, while four of the larger 18P HEX IP units uplight the brick wall above. Finally, two additional 18P HEX IP fixtures, as well as 17 more UB 9H LED battens, have been installed in the venue’s rooftop space, The Veranda.
“The actual installation was a challenge,” explains ‘Chicken’, “because we were brought in to add atmospheric lighting after everything else – including the furniture – was in place. So, we had to work around huge chandeliers and HVAC ducts to install fixtures up at 25 feet in the air. But we got it done and the client was really happy with the way the colored lighting enhanced the vibe, especially later in the evenings. In fact, he was so happy with the static lighting that he decided to step up his game and add in moving lights. So, we’ve been back in a couple of times adding more dynamic fixtures.”
As part of this upgrade that now allows The Ashford to transition into a full-on lounge nightclub for its After Hours events, Canal Sound and Light supplied and integrated 25 ADJ moving head fixtures throughout the venue as well as two strategically placed mirror balls (one M-2020 and one M-1616). To further enhance the exclusivity of The Parlor Alcove VIP space, they also installed one ADJ’s distinctive Starship fixtures above the seating area. A modern take on the classic centerpiece effect, this unique unit features six motorized bars loaded with powerful quad color LEDs that generate a myriad of intense moving and color-changing mid-air beams.
