Opened in 1971, the Grade II listed Crucible is one of Sheffield’s best-known venues, home to major productions and the World Snooker Championship.
Working with BaileyBertschinger, GDS found that no existing product met the auditorium’s needs, so we developed one: the Starfield.
Solutions provided
Starfield is an ultra-narrow spotlight with variable colour temperature and an RGBW accent ring, with every fixture individually addressable. The venue can now shape its house lighting for live performance and broadcast alike.
Puppis downlights in the entrance lobby give excellent colour rendering across a range of beam angles. A Drive Hub system, configured for the venue, powers and controls everything from one serviceable location.
We felt that GDS really understood what we needed, and their support throughout the project was excellent.
