Brief:
Mark Bloxsidge and Bob Allen from the Barbican's Technical Dept were tasked with overseeing a new lighting scheme for the main Cinema 1 auditorium, which involved replacing the existing 1970s house lighting and also providing a new stage production lighting infrastructure.
When it came to choosing the new lighting specification, Mark Bloxsidge was keen to make the leap to a LED lighting system over conventional fixtures due to the potential savings that could be made to the system's running costs. Cinema 1's grade-two listed building status also meant that compact fixtures needed to be used to mount around the high level, acoustic finished plastered ceiling and walls.
