An adrenaline-fuelled immersive experience in London is being brought to life by Cameo spotlights.

Tomb Raider: The LIVE Experience involves teams of eight people moving through single and multi-level areas on a 30,000 sq m course, in search of an artefact. In addition to the lavishly designed sets, actors contribute to the adventure.

London-based integrator Darkside Audio Visual – which was responsible for the planning and installation of the lighting, audio and video technology – used 166 spotlights Cameo fixtures from the Q-Spot, Studio Par, Root Par, TS and Thunder series. The Q-Spot 15 spots in RGBW and white light versions are employed to emphasise the imaginative details in the backdrops, while in darker areas, the Q-Spot 40 RGBW and TW (tunable white), which feature powerful 40 watt LEDs, are used.

The basic scenery lighting is provided by the Root Par TW and Root Par 6 LED Par models. The simulation of natural daylight is provided by the Studio Par in combination with the TS 60 W RGBW and TS 100 WW theatre spots.

To simulate changing daylight requirements – the adventure takes participants across terrains such as the snowfields of Finland and the jungles of Costa Rica – the Studio Par DTW LED Pars, which deliver variable white light, from tungsten to cool white, proved particularly suitable. For effects such as the simulation of a flying jet, Darkside Audio Visual relied on the Tibar 200 IR LED bars, six of which are mounted outside the aircraft cabin.
