The design team consisted of Lionel Ohayon from ICRAVE, Angelo Poulos from Advanced Audio Technology, Howard Werner from Lightswitch NY and Joe Zamore from LED Source®.

Its award-winning lighting systems and technologies apply

the benefits of LEDs as a highly efficient, long lasting,

environmentally friendly and inherently digital source of

illumination - reinventing light as a highly controllable medium.

Transforming environments through light

The designers at ICRAVE wanted

to create a color changing

colored background behind the

lattice work, that would serve

as the screen surface, in this

multi-visual layered effect. The

Color Kinetics Fuse proved to

be the best product solution.

Stylish, contemporary, and state-of-the-art, Spin

Ultra Lounge is the ultimate night-life destination in Boca Raton, Florida, USA. The Moroccan-themed space mimics a colonnade, with raised bars and columns around the perimeter of the venue and a dance floor and stage in the middle. Serving as a restaurant, lounge, nightclub, live performance venue, and casual happy hour spot, Spin Ultra Lounge needs to change its look and feel at the touch of a button. The key ingredient in the lounge’s flexibility is its LED lighting system, which can instantly change the ambiance of the entire space — from day to night, from a warmly lit restaurant to a colorful concert backdrop to a vibrant night club.

The design team for the

project consisted of a diverse

group of individuals. Lionel

Ohayon of ICRAVE led the

lighting design efforts and

worked with Joe Zamore

from LED Source® to specify

the best LED solutions for

the project, while Angelo

Poulos from Advanced Audio

Technology brought in his

expertise for the audio piece.

Howard Werner of Lightswitch

then integrated both the

lighting and audio components

through his programming

efforts.

To achieve

a truly

immersive

lighting

experience, the design

team first created a three-

dimensional media wall that

wrapped around the perimeter

of the space. The walls are

fitted with LCD monitors

and overlaid with hexagonal

lattice sculptures derived

from a vintage Moroccan

pattern. Philips Color Kinetics

iColor Cove MX Powercore

LED grazing fixtures line

the top and bottom of each

wall, transforming them into

dynamic, color-changing

surfaces. The digitally

controlled LED lighting

coordinates with the LCD

screens and with projectors

lighting the lattice sculptures,

creating a multi-dimensional

and vibrant atmosphere.

To light the lounge’s stylish

entrance, the team installed

2700K wide beam eW Cove

MX Powercore LED fixtures. In

addition, 2700K eW Fuse EC

Powercore fixtures uplight and

downlight the etched glass

wall in the entry. The designers

used additional Cove fixtures

throughout the club. iColor

Cove MX Powercore fixtures

illuminate the ceiling coves and

the dance floor, while 2700K

eW Cove Powercore fixtures

accent the undersides of the bar

counters. ColorBurst 6 fixtures

in ceiling pockets spotlight

unique Moroccan accent pieces

throughout the venue.

Joe Zamore from LED

Source®, chose Philips Color

Kinetics LED lighting fixtures

for the project because of their

high-quality color mixing and

because they require minimal

maintenance, allowing the

original design and focus to

stay intact years after the design

team leaves the building.

LED lighting takes Spin

Ultra Lounge to the next level

of entertainment — the lighting

fixtures are incorporated

seamlessly into a media-rich

digital system of light, video,

and sound to provide a truly

immersive experience. The

digitally controlled system gives

the venue the ability to change

its look and feel at the touch of a

button, setting the tone for any

occasion.
