Gradus, a specialist in contract interiors, has provided LED step lighting solutions for a new cross-media venue in Nottingham, UK, creating an atmospheric lighting effect while aiding way-finding.
Confetti X, a £5m complex at Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies, part of Nottingham Trent University, offers students modern technology for esports production, content creation and other emerging technologies like virtual production. The 100-seat venue features a large video wall for 4K broadcast complete with LED wings, and hosts amateur and professional esports tournaments.
The Gradus ATD121L Aluminium Step Profile was supplied and fitted on the steps in the seating area, featuring the company’s 5w Gradus Impression 3000k Warm White commercial-grade LED tape. A selection of control equipment was supplied, including an RF controller with a wireless hand-held remote, enabling the theatre to control and adjust the lighting as required.
The company shares that using Gradus Grip GG290, a rapid-curing flexible adhesive, the profiles were installed quickly and easily, while the adhesive-only fixing also eliminated the need for screw head cover plugs to create a neater overall aesthetic.
Gin Rai, esports manager and higher education course leader at Confetti X, commented on Gradus’ understanding of the brief, stating that the solution provided meets the vision for a stylish solution while ensuring student safety and contributing to the venue’s look and feel.
