The Falklands Hall primary presentation auditorium at the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM) required an urgent replacement for its original tungsten lights, and ETC ArcSystem was chosen to upgrade the space. The tungsten lights had come to the end of production and spare parts and bulbs were unavailable which led to a health and safety issue as they fell below the legal level required. ETC dealer, Stage Electrics, selected ArcSystem fixtures, and drivers to transform the space with LED.

CTCRM is based in Lympstone, Devon, UK, and is the official training base for the Royal Marines – the UK’s Commando Force. The auditorium space previously had 66 150-watt tungsten lamps which repeatedly failed and caused issues with maintenance as they were mounted over the seating rake. These luminaires were all replaced with ETC’s ArcSystem Pro One-Cell fixtures and ArcSystem Pro D4 CC Drivers.

The Pro One-Cell luminaires were selected for their high quality of light, and together with the D4 drivers, their smooth and superior dimming. The upgrade to ETC’s LED products led to over 80% reduction in power consumption at the CTCRM as well as a much-improved quality of lighting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Technical Solutions Engineer at Stage Electrics, Martin Woodage comments: “It was a fantastic project to work on, seeing the dimly lit space transformed into a beautifully lit space was amazing to see. The Stage Electrics team worked hard to ensure the project was a success and brought the customer exactly what they wanted, with only a week’s downtime for the venue.”
