The Mercury Theatre in Colchester, Essex, produces diverse and exciting programmes of unique, insightful and incisive theatre. Although the theatre itself is nearly 50 years old, the foundations of the company began in the 1930s after the formation of the Colchester Repertory Company was established in 1937 by Robert Digby and Beatrice Radley.
Lighting is used to enhance the look of buildings, both exterior and interior.
1
We begin with a consultation to understand the lighting needs for the building, whether it’s interior or exterior. After discussing with all involved, we create an initial proposal that outlines the lighting design.
2
Once the proposal is approved, we create a mock-up to show how the lighting will look. This helps everyone visualise the final effect and gives us a chance to make adjustments before proceeding.
3
After the mock-up is approved, we install the lighting solution and ensure everything is working as planned. We gather feedback from stakeholders and make any necessary adjustments to ensure satisfaction with the final result.
Using the latest LED technology from some of the world’s leading manufacturers, we give solutions that are long lasting, easy to maintain and, with replacement schemes, can lead to cost savings due to reduced energy consumption and reduced maintenance costs.
