Hoare Lea Lighting has used leds on a large scale in its new installation for the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London. Hoare Lea was commissioned by architect Jaques Muir & Partners to design the auditorium feature lighting in this Grade II listed cinema/theatre.

The existing lighting layout, part of the original building finished in 1929, had become unusable due to high maintenance.

The brief was to replace 3500 gls lamps with a system that allowed for colour changes and to devise a control method that fully exploited that facility.

LEDs were considered the ideal solution because they have high output, colour mixing capabilities, low running costs, long lamp life, are dmx controllable and no dimmers are needed.
