Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts

Lighting Upgrade

Overview

JRLX helped the 100 year old Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts transition from a conventional power-hungry tungsten top-light system to a completely automated, multifunction LED system….Twice… Oringlally, a large GLP LED generation 1 lighting rig of Volkslicht Zoom and GLP Spot One (the first additive color-mixing LED moving light in the world) were installed in 2012, with a later upgrade replacing that gear 12 years later in 2024. This second upgrade consisted of the Elation Professional Fuze MAX Profile and KL PAR FC.

JRLX continues to provide onsite support and ETC systems integration for the BCPA. The new system ensures that power consumption remains low, whilst creative flexibility and control is practically unlimited!

“The Volkslicht fixtures are primarily used for traditional theatrical top and backlight while maintaining the ability to zoom tightly to cover any needed theatrical specials and also for live music and rock & roll events. The Spot One fixtures are used for theatrical specials and textures as well as mid-air beam effects.

Later in the year we supplied (13) Altman Spectra Cyc 200 LED Cyclorama fixtures which replaced several high-wattage tungsten cyc fixtures and offered increased color-output and intensity as well as energy-savings in the thousands of watts.”

They have been able to facilitate and provide emergency support within days of asking to get our venue infrastructure back to working order.
