Illuminate Design lights up the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society with over 500 Cameo spotlights

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is the world's leading gardening charity and for more than two centuries, has been the passionate force at the heart of horticulture. The RHS inspires millions of people to get involved in gardening, whether that’s through visits to one of the four UK gardens, inspirational flower shows, or seasonal events. One very popular event in recent years has been the Glow illuminations over the festive period. Illuminate Design, the AV integrator from Witham in Essex, is currently responsible for the lighting of the gardens in Wisley, Hyde Hall and Harlow Carr. In selecting the proper lighting products to illuminate areas up to 150 ha in size, the Illuminate Design team procured more than 500 spotlights from Cameo.The main lighting component for the extensive gardens, with their countless tree and plant species, as well as various buildings, are the 280 Q-Spot 40i outdoor spots with 40 W RGBA LED. The team led by Illuminate Design Managing Director, Robin Shephard-Blandy, uses the spots to precisely illuminate objects and, when required, highlight them in radiant colors. The FLAT PRO FLOOD 600 outdoor floods with 6-in-1 RGBWA LEDs act as the wide background brush strokes. More than a hundred ZENIT® wash lights – 30 of Type W600 and 75 of Type W300 – deliver even more power and flexibility. Illuminate Designs also found the perfect placement in the gardens for FLAT PRO® 7 and FLAT PRO® 12 RGBWA outdoor spotlights."A few years ago, we became aware of Cameo when we were looking for spotlights for fixed installation projects," explains Robin Shephard-Blandy.
