UK - Lumileds LED technology has been used by lighting specialist Tryka LED Ltd as part of a project to light the outside of the new M Club in Belfast. Developed as an additional element to the overall M Club launch, the external lighting project was designed around the building, with the glass windows at the front of the club providing the ideal basis for an LED lighting system. Initially tested on a single window, the design was finalized by PSD Electronics, who worked with Tryka to achieve the desired control and effects.

The project utilizes the Tryka Strip Module 36 in two different lengths - 22 strips at 1200mm and 34 strips at 1700mm. In total, 2016 Luxeon LEDs, 672 each of RGB, have been used to light the external fascia of the M Club. By using a standard silver film over the interior of each window, together with a sealed 'light box', Tryka was able to create a dramatic LED solution with a smooth, evenly lit surface that captures the light and allows greater control and flexibility in the lighting effects. A diffuser was also used over the LEDs to soften the output.

Lighting control is handled by the Martin Light Jockey system used in the main club and bar areas. The system was pre-programmed by PSD Electronics using the emulator software.

At Bar Blue in Felixstowe, Lumileds LEDs have also been used by Tryka in another project to light the bar area and steps. The installation was handled by Code 1 and the effects achieved by connecting the system to a LightProcessor QCommander.
