The sails in the Burswood Casino's atrium are lit with Futurelight MH series moving yoke fixtures.
The Burswood International Resort Casino in Western Australia is one of the most popular and long-standing facilities in the country. Since opening in late 1985, Burswood has made several additions to its lighting infrastructure, with Coemar-DeSisti Australia (CDA) involved in several of these additions.

The latest redevelopment saw changes made to several areas. The tender documents included the reuse of several existing products in the nightclub area, amongst which were a range of Coemar products including Mini UltraScans (compact 200MSD moving mirror units) and Synchros (club effects lighting) - a testament to their quality and longevity. Additional specifications for the nightclub area included reference to the popular Reel EFX DF50 Diffusion Fogger - one of the world’s most popular effects units.

The lighting of the Atrium area, the large glass dome that is a major visual cue at Burswood, was made more complex with the addition of several large sails installed to reduce glare within the dome. The major lighting for this area came in the form of Futurelight MH series moving yoke fixtures. A combination of two MH860 and nine MH840 spot and wash yokes (575W) were compared with all the competition available in Australia and was chosen both on price and features.

The moving yokes are the primary fixtures used to light the sails and to create an absolutely stunning look within the Atrium area. One area, which CDA feel was also a major factor in winning the tender, was the high quality of its service and backup support for clients. The lighting equipment was supplied via Kospro International Pty Ltd.
