The Théâtre du Splendid in Paris, France, has chosen to convert its Robert Juliat 600SX tungsten profile fixtures to LED using Robert Juliat Sully LED modules.
The conversion enables the theatre to comply with fast-approaching regulatory requirements for energy transition.
The Théâtre du Splendid, which has a capacity of 300 seats, features an eclectic programme. Its Robert Juliat equipment includes a set of eight 600SX profiles – rigged across the front-of-house and over stage – which were recently converted to LED using the Sully LED 115W module in warm white. The LED source has a colour temperature of 3,000K and 98 CRI.
“It’s a cost-effective, long-lasting solution that maintains the level of technical excellence expected of a profile,” said Thomas Rouxel, the theatre’s technical director and a fan of Robert Juliat fixtures. “The assembly of the Sully modules to convert our 600SX tungsten profiles was quick and easy.”
“We also replaced the existing double condenser lens in our profiles with one specially treated for LEDs, on the advice of So What & Co, the Robert Juliat distributor we worked with on this conversion project,” continued Rouxel. “This option proved particularly effective on our products, whose optics needed a little refreshing. The result is indisputable: the beautiful quality of the rendered light, the sharpness of the shutter cuts and of the projected image.”
“It’s great to see two long-established French players, one a user and the other a manufacturer, joining forces to enhance the value of existing equipment,” said François Juliat, managing director of Robert Juliat. “We are both committed to technological innovation in the service of the performing arts.”
