including the large map in the atrium area. This compact pin spot fixture houses a 15W 4-in-1 RGBW LED light source focused through an ACL lens to create a 4° beam of coloured light. Through smooth and precise mixing of the four primary LED colours, the fixture can create a vast palette of different colour hues, while the supplied 10° and 45° frost filters can be easily applied to switch the output to a soft-edged wash. The unit is also supplied with a flexible scissor yoke, which locks into place by plastic thumbscrews located on either side and can serve either as a floor stand or hanging bracket. Because of its extremely compact size, George and her team were able to conceal Saber Spot RGBW fixtures within Tiki Tatsu-Ya’s rock work and greenery. This allows props and specific areas to be highlighted while the fixtures remain largely obscured. “I really like the combination of small size and bright punch offered by the Saber Spot RGBW,” she stated. “When I was looking for the right fixture for the atrium, I knew I needed pin spots, but didn’t think I’d be able to find something so small and powerful that also provided full DMX colour

The amount of colour that comes out of such a tiny compact fixture is incredible and the switchable lenses are very useful. Using the wide lens, I was able to smoothly cover the whole 8in by 5in giant map with just two fixtures.” Above the main bar is one of the most striking themed elements created for Tiki Tatsu-Ya by Blue Genie Art Industries: a large carved wooden face. George was given the task of bringing this to life by installing lights within the two eye holes behind translucent resin casts. For this task, she selected two ADJ Profile Panel RGBA fixtures, which are slimline units that each feature an array of 288 10mm LEDs. These are split equally between red, green, blue and amber diodes, which are arranged into eight independently controllable square zones. “I was going to use more 12PX HEXs, but the eye slots were too wide, and I also had to negotiate with the beverage team as it was above the bar, and they needed the space
