Oamaru Opera House

Oamaru Opera House

We were a part of the $10 million redevelopment project fit out of Oamaru's 100 year old Opera House. It involved full rewiring of the old lady including the fantastic new and substantial stage lighting with industrial dimmer controls, plus new lifts, stage winches and more.

The lighting uses the unique dynalight programmable system.

Then there is the amazing exterior LED lighting installation! This included fitting Herring Lightings LED lighting system to the outside of the building. They can be programmed to create an infinite array of colours and won a Lighting Design Award held by The Illuminating Engineering Society of NZ and Australia.

Highfield Mews Motel

Highfield Mews

The wonderful village-like setting of Highfield Mews Motel included complete wiring of the new complex on Thames Street in Oamaru

This included panel heaters in each room, inside lighting, outside lighting, road sign and more

Each room's heating aswell as the outside lighting, road sign and no vacancy sign are all operated from an automated touch screen panel in the office. This allows you to control switching each rooms heating individually on or off and separately control the outside lighting all by the touch of a screen.
