Dimmer facelift for historic theatre buildings

24/01/2023

So, you're head technician and your venue is a 19th century playhouse or theatre. You’ve just had the management give you an enormous task. 

No. Correction. Let that be five tasks. They want to up their green credentials and bring down energy consumption. They want you to arrange all of it, within the minute year budget, on time and without any major disruption to the building because the heritage conservation people need to OK every single adaptation. 

Where do you start? It seems like a Herculean task that is going to cause headaches and sleepless nights...

Just start with contacting Pino Solutions! We’ve done it before so you don’t have to do the maths. With the Easy Switch dimmer update for your ADB dimmers you can meet all the requirements and more! You will even save on time and personnell hours. 

How so? Well, the Easy Switch dimmer upgrade changes nothing to the infrastructure of your venue. So hooking up those units with switched power supplies where ever you need them is not a problem. So no extra wiring, no drilling of holes, nothing. Box one ticked: Heritage safeguarded.

The lack of channels that have 230V fixed power has been remedied so your LED powered lighting fixtures, which consume less energy than conventional incandescent lighting, can be used forthwith. Box two ticked: energy consumption down.

Sounds like it’s magic and is going to break the bank? Not with the Easy Switch. It saves money on different levels. First off, you don’t need to buy extra distro’s or cabling. Secondly, with a single touch of a button on the Touch Controller a channel is set to fixed power or dimming. So no one has to go up into the rig to change the cabling setup. Thirdly, the Easy Switch can be budgeted as maintenance and/or investment. Often these are two different costs (operational and long term governance). This flexibility means that there is often room in the budget in the same season for other things (for example the purchase of more energy-efficient tools and equipment). Boxes three and four ticked.

It’s as simple as that. It’s not called the Easy Switch for nothing… There are over thirty extra advantages that come with the Easy Switch, learn all about them on our Philosophy page or download the leaflets.  Contact us today to bring your venue into the 21st century, under budget and on time!
