Located below Chapel Street in South Yarra, Strike Bowling Bar is a far cry from the bowling alley that has lurked in the Australian suburbs since the sixties. Strike is a multi-faceted bowling entertainment experience, with six public bowling lanes, four private lanes with an exclusive lounge, a multimedia conference room, bar, lounge, pool tables, games and karaoke facilities.

Lightmoves was proud to participate in the creation of Melbourne's most innovative bowling venue. Our contribution to this project included:

DYNALITE DIMMING
Lighmoves project manager, Haydn Brennan, supplied and installed a Dynalite dimming system which is integrated with the facility-wide AMX control system. Dimmer control, which is used throughout Strike, enabled the the striking colour-changing effects which are a major contributor to the atmosphere. The walls are lit with a light curtain of coloured PAR38 lamps, that are cross-faded to produce a range colour washes.

LED lighting
Joe Casamento, another of the project managers on the Lightmoves team, created a unique installation solution for the entry area, with LED light sources which resulted in a cost-effective housing, neatly presenting these great light sources. Megabay's LED Lumin MR16 light fitting was used, offering the combined benefits of long life and low heat output.

IMAGE PROJECTION
Strike's installation also involves several examples of highly effective image projection.

  • The Strike name is projected onto the pavement adjacent to the building's front doors, attracting passing foot traffic and reinforcing the retail presence.

  • The number for each bowling alley lane is clearly projected,onto the floor at the top of the lane, cutting through the ultraviolet light and enhancing the high-tech ambience. The requirement for an easily adjustable divertor mirror system, to minimise the visual impact of the light fitting and provide the necessary throw distance, was implemented by Lightmoves using cost-effective standard components.
