The HERCULES 800E™ is among the world's first state-of-the-art square
projection medium power floodlights with full field color
changing. The main purpose which led to the creation of the
HERCULES 800E™ has been the idea of creating light shades and
colors on the external walls of buildings. Furthermore, its
indoor use for places like theaters, stages and concerts as well
retail and display establishments, will be also highly
appreciated by architects and designers.
The HERCULES 800E™ medium power floodlight features full field
color changing, crossfades, dimming, preset programs and digital
programming capabilities. The innovative CYM (Cyan, Yellow,
Magenta) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color changing system has
true color dichroic filters to produce smooth color crossfades
throughout the entire color spectrum. HERCULES 800E™'s unique
coloring capabilities open up a lot of creative opportunities
limited only by one's imagination.
The only condition for HERCULES 800E™'s best chromcatic
performance is the projection onto preferably white or light
colored walls, facades and surfaces. When in use, its sequence
of colors, which goes from pastel shades to bright
colors,creates a chromatic atmosphere around the building and
gives it an elegant or glamorous look. The HERCULES 800E™
enables the designer to paint a subtle pastel wash or to create
a constellation of vivid colors. The greatest beauty of the
HERCULES 800E™ is the creative power it puts in your hand.
The
HERCULES 800E™'s programmed color changing floodlighting to mark
various holidays - red, white and blue for the Fourth of July;
red and green for Christmas; yellow, orange and white for
Thanksgiving; different shades of green for St. Patrick's Day
and various hues of pink for Valentine's Day - just to name a
few - can surely create a positive reference of belonging and
will invoke a warm feeling toward the lighted object and its
surroundings.
CREATIVE
IDEAS
Companies the world over are realizing the promotional benefits of
exterior lighting. Architectural lighting helps create dreamlike atmosphere
through an ever changing flow of light and color. Multiple fixtures may be
linked together and synchronized for truly unique effects. Just imagine the
possibilities. From the modem architect who creates designs and
specifications for new and exciting buildings to a hotel concerned with
drawing more attention to their building; from an amusement park specifying
more interesting lighting for their attractions, to organizers concerned
with adding that special touch to a special event - whether a company
illuminates a subtle company logo or projects a total wash across the front
of a building - outdoor color changing projectors will soon be everywhere.
And with the quality of the HERCULES 800E™ we lead the way.
Imagine a casino turning gold every time a lucky gambler hits the jackpot;
arena lighting pulsating when the home team scores; an outdoor concert where
the lighting fades in and out to the music; a company headquarters a washed
in color for the arrival of an important client - architectural lighting
applications are virtually endless. Imagine houses of worship, federal,
state, county and municipal buildings as well as historical buildings,
landscapes and natural sites showered with ever changing light and colors
making them special and the pride and joy of their communities. Imagine
shopping malls, retail outlets, entertainment and leisure venues. Imagine
even power stations, bridges, museums and factories! Imagine all this and
much more. Again the possibilities are limitless.
 
A store's evening image is most productive when illumination from
within the building and outdoor lighting work in tandem to advertise its
presence. A combination of facade illumination, signage, landscape
lighting and in malls and shopping centers, parking lot lighting
identify the store and its exterior environment. Clear messages can be
sent to shoppers by controlling the relative brightness and color of
these elements. Adapting from our theatrical and entertainment lighting
technology, designers and architects can develop customized illumination
systems that boost a store's contemporary image and reinforce its retail
concept. Major stores in shopping centers can use the night sky as a
background for nighttime illumination. Programmed levels of colored
light add to the store's personality and the consumers level of
expectation. A central rotunda, for example, can glow dramatically at
night to silhouette a panorama of customers and merchandise displays.
Evening shoppers will have an invitingly color changing wash illuminated
top-to-bottom view of the interior activity.
Retail architecture
requires bright self-illuminated signs which should be calibrated so
that they can hold their own against powerful pole-mounted parking lot
lights or street lights. Potential customers become lost customers when
they cannot find their way or read signage because of glare from
overhead flood lighting. Personal security plays a major role in
deciding where to shop. Customers are sensitive to visual cues that
effect their perceptions of safety and well-being. Contrast ratios
influence outdoor security. If the ratio is too low, customers feel
uncomfortable and will avoid the area.
Enter the HERCULES 800E™. It solves this problem very easily since it's
bright, colorful and features a variety of motion possibilities. It
gives the feeling that something is always happening, like an
Architectural Happening with its dynamic sequences to choreographed
settings. It could save a programmed cycle of colors which play across a
curtain wall and masonry facing. Or inside at the atrium projecting at
the vertical surfaces. Clearly HERCULES 800E™'s storefront illumination
communicates merchandise appeal, produces a dynamic light show after
sunset and delivers safety for after dark shoppers.
Corporate identity can be dramatically enhanced by projecting the
company's colors on its headquarters building. Entertainment and
hospitality venues i.e. movie theaters, casinos, bowling centers and
restaurants as well as retail establishments such as shopping malls and
specialty stores can perfectly stand out in the highly crowded and
extremely competitive scene of urban and suburban buildings by using the
as an effective attention getter and visual reminder. It reminds the
passerby that those buildings not only exist but have become a focal
point landmark. The HERCULES 800E™ is an important component in the
branding process in that it enables the use of colors and motion to
become a strong element of recognition of that particular site. By using
the already stored programs (the use of a controller is not necessary),
one can obtain shades of two or more colors by passing, quickly or
slowly, through all the intermediate positions.
