Application

Convention Center

From ultra-high ceilings to crowded, shallow plenums, convention centers have many unique needs. Indoor or outdoor, Kirlin provides high-quality engineered solutions.

Convention Center Lighting

Imagine a building that can be a concert hall one day, a voting center the next, an emergency-response shelter the following, and a sports arena the day after that. Convention centers represent the utmost of space flexibility, and as a result they require lighting that is dynamic, easy to maintain, and easy to modify to whatever the latest event requires.

On the outside, fixtures that are robust and vandal-resistant, as well as wet listed to be able to hold up to the sheer number of people that come through the space.  Between our recessed, surface mounted and even cylinder solutions, we can cover just about anything that needs light- including flagpoles!

Inside, the name of the game is flexibility and ease of maintenance.  Our Symphony solutions are ideal for places where height and obstacles are present- such as a double or triple height lobby, the main gathering area with multiple stories, or just anywhere where closing the area down to service a fixture would be a major issue.  Instead of having drivers in the fixtures (they are the weakest link after all!), they are placed in a remote cabinet up to 250 feet away. No large lifts or scaffolding needed to replace a driver.  We offer these with 0-10V dimming or a DMX-RDM solution that makes tying into a large control system a breeze.

For areas that don’t require a remote-driver system but are close enough that the fixtures need to match, look no further than our Latitudes series. These fixtures have the same trims and designs as the Symphony fixtures, but include integral drivers.

Feel free to contact us and we’ll help make sure your next convention center is a hit!

    Convention Centers are used often and need lighting that can be maintained quickly and efficiently without shutting down main entrances or having to put up large amounts of scaffolding.
  • What emergency backup solutions do you offer?

    Depending on the fixture, Kirlin offers integral or remote battery packs, as well as small remote inverters. For our Symphony remote driver system, we offer small inverters.
