Somerset House, London

Dynamic colour-changing lighting control for Somerset House in London, accentuating the neoclassical façade of one of the city’s most historic arts and culture venues with layered architectural illumination.

A 20-universe LPC X provides all-in-one control for dynamic, colour-changing architectural lighting across the neoclassical façade, with independently running timelines and scenes
A TPS touchscreen lets facility staff select scenes and adjust colour and intensity on the fly, with real-time manual override capability
An EDN 20 distributes DMX ports cost-effectively across the site; and a Pharos Switch provides power and data for the TPS
Pharos Cloud enables GVA Lighting to monitor the system and provide ongoing remote support to The Somerset House Trust
