Lights

Introduction

This is a beginning entry dedicated to the light setup in Diedenoort-NURDSpace. Original configuration: The three wall switches by the front door operate, from left to right: The ventilation The right-hand bank of lights (with back to door) including the 3 on the hook around the corner The left hand bank of lights

Current configuration

• The left hand switch is for the single emergency light on the left closest to the door.
• The right hand switch does nothing.
• The fluorescent bulbs are connected together into 4 numbered groups:
  1. The 6 in the dead centre of the space
  2. The 2 over the printer desks (currently disabled)
  3. The 3 over the desks at the far windows
  4. The 5 closest to the door, on the near side of the I-beam, excluding the emergency light (only 2 of them are currently working).

These 4 channels are plugged into the lighting controller suspended in a white iron grid from the ceiling. This is plugged into a ceiling socket on a ? electrical group.

DMX

The DMX devices are currently configured as follows:

• Controller: Lanbox currently underneath the Lack by the yellow pipe.
• Channels 1-4: The small 4x controller on the desks at the far windows
• Channels 5-8: The strobe lamp
• Channels 9-12: The main fluorescent bulb controller

• Channels 32-34: The RGB LED lamp (1) on the top of the yellow pipe
• Channels 35-37: The RGB LED lamp (2) on the middle of the yellow pipe
• Channels 38-40: The RGB LED lamp (3) on the wall around the corner
• Channels 41-43: The RGB LED lamp (4) on the right on the pipes at the far windows
• Channels 44-46: The RGB LED lamp (5) on the left on the pipes at the far windows
• Channels 47-49: The RGB LED lamp (6) on the left hand wall.

The DMX cable is wired in the following sequence:

• Lanbox
• Strobe
• RGB1
• RGB2
• RGB3
• (5-->3 conversion)
• (3-->5 conversion)
• RGB4
• (5-->3 conversion)
• Small 4x controller
• Fluorescent controller
• (3-->5 conversion)
• RGB5
• RGB6
• A 120 ohm resistor is used as termination between pins 2 and 3.
