A dramatic new dimming facility was developed for this installation, enabling diurnal exposure rates to exceed accepted conservation standards, whilst delivering elevated light levels for actual appreciation of the wonderful range of glittering fabrics and garments.

The lighting was designed to elevate or diminish absolutely smoothly in intensity, with illumination being delivered from both high and low levels.

Each zone was served by four independent fibre optic systems to give maximum variety of coverage, with variable colour temperature at source being used further to mould the full-size three-dimensional figures and spaces.

The gradient dimming system is now available for 0-10v or DMX control response as well as in customised standalone systems.
