mers offer direct linear LED control for precise and
predicatable control of each channel simultaneously.
With over 800 channels, the installation is large.
There are in excess of 40 dimming panels, neatly
divided into eight board locations, each controlling a
particular segment of the casino floor on both levels.
Each segment has a ‘commander’, and all the con-
trollers are linked on their own dedicated networks
to create one robust prevailing integrated system.
On top of this, Triac incorporated an Axium con-
troller and touch screens to manage the network
and integrate various third party systems, such as
audio-visual. It also interfaces with the casino’s
main control system to create special effects
at certain times – such as multiple flashes and
sounds to celebrate a jackpot win – or for certain
occasions i.e. red for Valentine’s Day. The system
also incorporates the lighting around the periphery,
including restaurants, to ensure these light levels
are maintained and controlled to benefit the tenants
while complementing the casino floor.
Lighting design was by Gabriel Hugo of LYT;
CKR’s Ryan Moolman was the principal electrical
engineer; Giantlight was responsible for manufac-
turing and installing the matrix of luminaires and
Triac managed the lighting control throughout.With
this team and countless other contributors, the
fantasy that is Times Square Casino was realised.
