The SAMSAT: AREA 21 is a museum dedicated to scientific discoveries and innovations that benefit humanity. From Tesla coils to space technology, this place allows visitors to have fun while learning and experiencing augmented reality. The venue is fully equipped with MEGA-LITE luminaires, including the Tuff Baby P84, MW1, and Drama LED W50 with gobos, bringing to life some of the most creative and modern concepts in invention.
The combination of MEGA's luminaires in this environment, dedicated to discovery and innovation, creates an atmosphere that feels out of this world. With vibrant, saturated neon tones, these inventions shine brightly thanks to the placement of the Tuff Baby P84, a luminaire equipped with seven penta RGBWA and 12-watt LEDs. Rated IP65, this luminaire performs seamlessly both indoors and outdoors.
The MW1 was an excellent choice for more precise beams due to its individual pixel control, which allows users a wide range of effects. It features a 9° beam angle for projecting sharp beams and a 44° wash angle for creating a soft-edge wash effect.
In contrast, the Drama LED W50, equipped with custom gobos, produced clear projections on the museum's floor that highlighted some of the inventions on display.
Terri Bracey, Operations Manager for Nelco Media Inc., shared her experience with the MEGA-LITE sales team during the purchasing process for this installation, described it as smooth, with excellent communication and attention to detail. Terri said the SAMSAT: AREA 21 installation was carried out efficiently and without interruptions.
"Nelco staff attended an open house last year, where we were able to see all the tools, fixtures, and resources MEGA has to offer. It's also nice to put a face to a name and experience the personal side of the business," she said.
