Anolis Calumma brings on the Carnival mood

Two hundred and thirty-two Anolis Calumma M MC RGBCW LED fixtures – with 65-degree lenses and including a custom rear-mounted IP rated junction box modification for easier installation – are now in place on seven out of eight Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) ships! This started with Carnival Horizon in February, continued with Carnival Breeze, Carnival Elation, Carnival Magic, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Paradise, Carnival Vista, and will complete in August with Carnival Dream, all of which are cruising around various parts of the globe.

The fixtures are rigged across the various ‘lido’ and pool decks on each ship – retrofitted into existing lighting positions, where they are providing general ambient lighting across the spaces. With this upgrade, the Calummas – with their power and incredible colors – can additionally be used as show lighting for events staged in these venues and areas.

The installation has been overseen by CCL’s line fleet lighting supervisor, Silviu Ardelean, and Carnival’s entertainment lighting manager,Alex Nelson. The project was coordinated for Robe’s Maritime division by global sales director Tony Perez. This project needed a tough,well-built, elegant solution, and the IP67 rated Calummas were perfect for the job.

In this instance, the Calummas had to fit into existing bulkhead spaces on the ship lido decks, and this is why the junction box modification was needed, so they could be physically rigged in the spaces with no additional holes needing to be drilled into the bulkhead for cabling. While the IP rated junction box is already available as a stand-alone option from Anolis, on this specific occasion, these fixtures were manufactured with it attached to the back of the fixture. The fixtures were all painted RAL9016M to match the various ship lido decks. The Calummas were delivered via UK-based maritime integration experts, EWP. They are installed in quantities of between 22 and 46 units per vessel. Now in place, the Calummas are all DMX controlled running via a CueServer controller for the venues, which schedules their on / off switching at designated times.
