Concertgebouw Brugge (2023)
Controllux
proud of hall lighting Concerthall Bruges
“We are very
proud of this project,” says Kris Noerens, Account Manager for Controllux.
'After all, this is not only the largest concert hall in Belgium, but perhaps
also in the most beautiful location’.
Controllux
was asked to come up with a lighting solution for three halls of The
Concerthall in Bruges. We started the project together with system
integrator Inytium.
Inytium
is a Turn Key system integrator, based in Nivelles, and main contractor for
this project.
Guillame Canart - Sales Manager at
Inytium says "We chose to complete the public tender with the spots
from TDE-Lighttech, because of the quality and the unique control (where the data runs over the existing power cables)
on the one hand, and the pleasant relationship with Controllux on the other.”
In
order to approach the characteristics of the existing halogen lighting,
TDE-Lighttech's Moodspot has been chosen in all three halls of
the Bruges Concerthall; for
the
Studio, the Chamber Music Hall, and in the large
Concert Hall. In the Studio and in the Chamber Music Hall, the halogen lamps
and reflectors in the existing pendant luminaires
have been replaced by dynamic LED sources that give a warmer complexion when
they are dimmed, just as the color of a halogen lamp changes
gradually to a warm teint
while dimming.
The
customer's request was to realise the
transition from halogen to LED lighting without structural modifications and as
unobtrusively as possible. This was done by fitting the existing pendant
fixtures with an intelligent LED module from TDE and mounting
the new recessed LED spotlights in the existing holes from the old spots. With the color
progression of the 'old' halogen accurately imitated. In addition to a high
color rendering (CRI>90) and an even light projection
together with the
low glare ensures a high-quality, elegant and pleasant light image. All this
contributes to the desire of the Bruges Concert Hall to realise an LED
transition that is as unobtrusive as possible while retaining the aesthetic
aspects as initially intended by the architect.
Jurjen van Koeveringe – Field engineer for
TDE-Lighttech adds:
"The
customer's wish was to replace the old lighting installation one-to-one.
Challenges such as cable retention and limited installation depth emerged.
Controllux then made a clear cable plan and solved these challenges
professionally.”
In
total, Controllux supplied more than 900 TDE Moodspots (recessed,
surface-mounted and suspended luminaires). The lights can be switched on or off via a simple wall-switch, or
controlled flexible in groups of per spot individually via DMX, so that the hall lights can be
programmed and operated with the existing theater lighting control and merged in with the stage lights.
Piet de Meester – Facilities
coordinator of Concerthall Bruges concludes:
“We are very pleased with the new lighting, it is elegant and discreet. We no longer have to stock and replace lamps. But above all we are happy with the flexibility that the new lighting installation offers us.”
And
the result is stunning! A very sustainable modern lighting
installation that not only saves considerably on power consumption, but also offers
sustainability in terms of reuse of materials, such as the existing pendant
luminaires in the chamber music hall and the studio, and the reuse of the
existing cabling in the large concert hall through TDE-Lighttech's IZI link
system in where the control
data
runs over the existing power lines.
We
are very proud of the result and wish Concertgebouw Brugge lots of fun and
beautiful moments with the new lighting installation.
