Funky Floors LED Dance Floor
 |
In October 2005 Enlightened Lighting were approached by Funky Floors to assist in the design and production of an LED version of their illuminated dance floor.
The brief was to produce a floor of 1m square tiles, with RGB colour control and each panel individually controllable. |
 |
A number of "off the shelf" LED fittings were tried, but the best result was from a purpose made LED assembly, powered from an Anolis Arcpower 36 power supply.
Enlightened Lighting designed, procured and constructed all the lighting system, including a modular connection system between the panels that allows the floor to be assembled in any layout, and also has all the interconnecting leads captive. |
 |
Enlightened Lighting also supplied the controller for the floor. To handle the many layouts that the floor can be assembled in, and to give a simple customer proof interface, the controller is set up and programmed from a PC; and can then be operated stand alone by the end user or DJ, using a keyboard to select the scenes and sequences already programmed. |
 |
The PC software has a basic visualiser built in, so the show can be prepared in advance, and previewed on the PC.
The floor has been a great success, and has now been operating for a number of years, it has proved very reliable, despite several years of continuous use in hire, Funky Floors have commented that it is more reliable than any other floor on the market. |
