I designed and installed a custom networked lighting system for a large-scale amusement ride, creating a dynamic visual experience across the whole attraction. I developed the lighting layout and system architecture from CAD drawings, fabricated custom control cabinets, and coordinated installation and commissioning.
With only two nights available for installation, we worked through the night as to not interrupt the ride manufacturer’s team installing the arm. I led most of the work myself alongside one additional technician: equipment install, wiring, controls integration, programming, testing, and troubleshooting on a very compressed schedule.
The ride-mounted lighting cabinet communicates wirelessly with a ground-based control cabinet, linking it to the central show control infrastructure. Hundreds of individually controlled pixels and high-output fixtures can be programmed and synchronized with musical shows and other entertainment elements across the entire ride.
