Lighting Design Specialist James Sidler chose Acclaim Lighting products for the renovation because he felt they excelled at creating the overall look that he envisioned for the classic attraction. The Acclaim Rebel Drums are used as uplights for the various waterfalls throughout the interior and exterior of the ride, while the Dyna Flood QA fixtures are used in every room throughout the ride, as well as the exterior of the attraction. The Dyna Flood QA fixture has the same RGBA and RGBW color mixing option coupled with a pristine color mixing technique that is seen in the ELED’s. They have the option of 20, 40 and 60 degree beam angles. The fixture is IP66 and can withstand inclement weather. Plus, the smaller fixture profile is convenient and takes both data and power separately within the fixture itself and does not require an external power supply with a proprietary cable.
The Rebel Drum Series, submersible LED fixtures in a stainless steel housing, were quite suited for the project because of the numerous options of size and output it offers. Four models are available (3, 6, 12 and 18 LEDs) in single color or RGB variants. The opportunity to use different sized underwater lights in various applications that are powered from the same energy source, simply made things easier.
Camp Snoopy
Throughout Camp Snoopy, Knott’s Berry Farm used the Acclaim Dyna Floods to give the area that was originally built in the ‘80s a fresh and naturally illuminated look. The slimly-designed fixtures’ shape and size render them ‘invisible’ in props, allowing them to be hidden from guests.
