Casino Regina switches on to Robert Juliat Oz
- Details
“We wanted a direct replacement for the Robert Juliat Korrigan followspots we had previously, so Oz was the best option,” says Bruce Dumba, lighting director at the Casino Regina Show Lounge. Casino Regina is owned and operated by SaskGaming, and is located in Regina’s landmark Union Station building. The 800-seat Show Lounge hosts all types of entertainment: singers, bands, comedians, artist tributes, banquets, and is looked after by Ashley Seidler, manager of entertainment at Casino Regina.
“Most venues are looking for LED followspots now, and Oz is essentially the LED version of the Korrigan units the Show Lounge had been using,” says Alyssa McLellan with Christie Lites Sales; she and Bruce Lozinsky made the sale to Casino Regina. “By investing in industry-standard gear they are able to meet the needs of the performers who come through the venue and are confident in the equipment they’re getting.”
Dumba is especially pleased by Oz’s roller douser feature, which he finds “really nice, much brighter, more vivid and with no heat.” He reports that the Oz followspots have been performing well with no issues. Robert Juliat is distributed exclusively in North America by ACT Lighting.
