CHRISTMAS IN MINNESOTA, A LOT GREENER THIS YEAR

Saint Paul, MN- Greeting those seeking some extra holiday spirit at the governor’s mansion is a Christmas tree standing over 20 feet and illuminated by 3 CHAUVET® COLORado™ 3 units installed by Norcostco.  The units allow the color of the tree to remain in a constant state of flux, leading passers-by to wonder, “How do they do that?”  A CHAUVET® COLORado™ 1 lights the Christmas wreath, and surrounding area, above the front door.  The units are all running through preset programming, and provide remarkable illumination. Making the switch from incandescent to all-LED lighting has saved a considerable sum of money, with power bills dropping from $1,300 to approximately $130, and carbon emissions from 18.7 tons to about 4 tons, according to an estimate from the Minnesota State Energy Office.  The IP65 rating of the COLORado™ units is getting a rugged test, with temperatures cold enough to prompt Norcostco director of Technical Projects Rob Koontz to comment, “I lost the feeling in my index finger taking these pictures.”

FLEXFOG™: A NEW ANGLE ON FOG

While the release of another 1500-watt fogger is not front page news, the FlexFog™ 1500’s unparalleled flexibility is a sure headliner. The unit’s head can be manually adjusted to various angles within a 180-degree range, allowing users to mount it on a level surface and aim the fog in a number of vertical directions. The flexibility of an aiming head allows setup in locations that are convenient for refills, without jeopardizing a high-caliber performance that usually demands more difficult installations. The FlexFog™ 1500 presents a host of other features designed to further simplify and gain control over the inclusion of fog into a show or display, including a manual fog button, onboard DMX inputs and fluid level indicators. LEDs mounted near the nozzle turn green to indicate that the fogger is ready to discharge and functions properly. If it runs below a minimum fluid threshold, it enters into an auto-shutdown mode. Graphic at left is for demonstration purposes only, angle must be adjusted manually. The Flex Fog™ 1500 is equipped with a 3.5 liter reservoir for water-based fog and puts out over 25,000 cubic feet of fog per minute. For added convenience, wireless and wired timer remotes are included.

SPICE: KEEPING THE HEAT ON THE DANCE FLOOR

Hollywood, FL- If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Surrounded by “For Rent” and “Coming Soon” signs in resurgent downtown Hollywood, Spice resto-lounge remains a fixture of the nightlife, thanks to its great Latin party atmosphere, live music, good food, and a constantly evolving décor. The latest update is a new lighting design that entailed a switch from traditional PAR cans to CHAUVET® LED fixtures. Replacing multiple PAR 64 units are 23 CHAUVET® LED Shadow™ and 14 CHAUVET® COLORpalette™ wash lights that bathe the club in light without the harshness and ambient heat of the PAR cans. Additionally, the COLORpalettes allow the club owners to vary the club’s lighting scheme at will, creating the air of change that is key to the venue’s enduring success.   For More Information : Spice Lounge
