LumenRadio Shines at Thier-Galerie in Dortmund, Germany

	Their-Galerie in Dortmund, Germany at Christmas

LumenRadio recently helped to put some additional shimmer on the Thier-Galerie, a new upscale shopping and entertainment center in Dortmund, Germany. Its sleek and elegant design, with a four-story glass covered house-within-a-house as an architectural centerpiece, has raised the bar for design and innovation in such public spaces, the company says.

For Christmas, Jens Graube from Straight Technical Solutions GmbH created the design. No less than 8,000 super-sized golden Christmas ornaments would take center stage and a compliment of designer Christmas trees and decorations would complete the picture. The entire installation was lit by an assortment of Litecraft AT3 LED and Robe Robin 300 LEDWash fixtures, all supplied by LMP, providing the necessary tools for saturated color washes, powerful highlights, and subtle movement.

Center management requested an uncluttered look which signaled LumenRadio's CRMX wireless DMX/RDM system at the top the specification list for this project, the company says. Straight's Graube, together with lighting designer and programmer, Kai Kretzschmar, installed a permanent CRMX DMX/RDM system to provide signal distribution throughout the gallery, without the use of cabling. The Robin LEDWashes came from the Robe factory with the wireless CRMX OEM modules already installed.

"We were very impressed with the performance and ease of use of the LumenRadio wireless systems; it definitely exceeded our already high expectations. Our client was also extremely happy with the final result -- both from a visual, esthetical, and a practical point of view -- which I am sure would not be the case if we would have had to utilize cable for this project," said Grube from Straight.

"The wireless CRMX DMX/RDM system allows positioning of fixtures without regard for the difficulties of getting control wiring to hard to reach locations and with a minimum of installation time and disruption, which is always a major issue in retail establishments," stated Oliver Winkler, product manager at LMP.
