Set against the backdrop of Canada’s iconic Parliament Buildings, this 30-minute show created by Canadian Heritage and Montreal’s Idées au cube (id3) takes the audience on an unforgettable journey of light and sound through Canada’s history.
During Northern Lights, the Centre Block façade is flooded with light by more than 150 moving and static lighting fixtures. These include:
• 50 automated lights, some of which can produce more than 16.5 million different hues
• 38 low-energy LED lights which produce more than 4.2 billion different hues
Seventeen different projectors work together to turn the Centre Block into a screen more than 143 metres (470 feet) long and 30 storeys high.
This complex lighting system is controlled by two computers and more than 15 km (49,213 feet) of wiring. High-impact lighting and environmentally friendly smoke effects enhance the experience.
For the first time, the sound and light show will also use a colour laser to punctuate transitions and add depth, making this a truly multimedia show.
The show runs until September 10.
This year Salex has welcomed a wide range of new and expanded partnerships in lighting and controls to service the GTA and Southwestern Ontario region. Most recently, Salex has announced the addition of OSRAM Digital Lumens to their list of brand offerings. This new partnership includes representation from Windsor to Belleville and Smooth Rock Falls.
The IES knows you want to take your knowledge with you. In this special webinar, IES staff will guide you through The Lighting Library® – a giant step forward in how we create and deliver standards. This new online subscription-based platform allows access to our full set of standards from anywhere with an internet connection, updates automatically, and allows for more regular revisions of the standards to keep up with the times.
