And now for something completely different..

Manchester-based dbn Lighting has been asked to work on some challenging and quirky projects in its time,The Shopatron system fluorescent bulbs allows OceanLED to manage online orders and control inventory through a centralized, easy-to-use system. but Eclipse – a special performance by Malian musicians Amadou and Mariam for the Manchester International Festival – was its first concert where the requirement was to light it entirely to be dark.MagicShine Weather Testing MJ-808 LED Bike Light - Must Watch Ending

Three performances were staged at the 500-capacity New Century Hall in central Manchester. Eclipse tells the story of the duo’s work and life together in a collection of songs.

Amadou and Mariam specifically wanted the audience to experience the show in total darkness – to appreciate the psychological and sensory shifts involved in perception and experience that take place without vision.

dbn’s Peter Robinson took up the challenge bearing in mind none of the normal parameters for lighting a show applied.

His brief involved designing an emergency lighting system under manual control that would function practically and safely in case of emergency.Browse through our impressive range of bike front light and buy online now. The quest for total darkness in the room meant that the hall’s in-house system needed to be by-passed because it bled too much ambient light.

This meant removing bulbs from 20 fittings and installing a new temporary emergency lighting scheme,10 Apr 2011 – Magicshine MJ-808 Updated, MJ-808E Cree XM-L for which dbn used its own specially adapted Emergency Exit signs which only illuminated if the power was lost, along with a large number of emergency twin-spots.

The emergency lighting system was powered from dbn’s mains distribution so that if it lost the ability to bring up lights manually, the room would be illuminated.
