Glow in the Park, Plymouth City Centre

JHAV were pleased to be involved in another Plymouth Culture project, this time providing support for a range of lighting installations, including truss structure and UV lighting for the mural installation and aerial rigging for the Plankton installation for the Glow in the Park event.

We also provided site lighting, gazebos, power and event infrastructure.

With sustainability in mind, we powered the entire event using two portable battery packs to elevate the need for an onsite power supply.

These packs only consumed wattage equivalent to boiling a kettle sixteen times per day!

Christmas at Royal William Yard

The JHAV team are delighted to be involved in lighting up Royal William Yard for its annual Christmas Lighting Installation.

We’ve provided a mixture of architectural LED lighting, Twinkly and RGB NEON Flex to create the various installations around the site.

Project Manager John Hibdige said “We wanted to do something slightly different to previous years and this gave us an opportunity to utilise our Twinkly Fairy Lights that have recently been added to hire stock. Due to the size and scale of the Christmas Tree, we believe it’s one of the biggest that’s been decorated in Twinkly in the Southwest, standing at approximately 8m! Special thanks to ARLO SOLUTIONS SW LIMITED who worked closely with us, assisting with the installation and programming”.

In addition to the exterior lighting, JHAV have also supplied additional indoor lighting and PA system to the Royal William Yard Christmas Markets, taking place inside the Melville Building every Sunday and Wednesday up until the 20th December.

Lighting up the Zoo!

In October we helped transform Dartmoor Zoo into a spooky spectacle with various lighting packages throughout the park. Opening at dusk, it promised a frightfully good evening.

 

 

From eerie shadows cast on the animal enclosures to mysterious glows illuminating a giant spiderweb, the zoo was transformed into a ghostly realm. One of our team members dared to visit (but didn’t attempt the haunted circus – she wanted to be able to sleep at night!).

 

 

If you’re someone who loves the festive season, we’re also involved in Zooluminate again this December, providing a series of enchanting light installations around the Zoo – check out more here.
