Elation equips indoor beach club in Manila

Cove Manila is Southeast Asia’s newest entertainment space, a 9,000-sqm, $200 million entertainment venue touted as the largest indoor beach club in the world. Located in Okada Manila resort in the Philippines capital, Cove Manila also includes a nightclub that’s putting the country on the map as an EDM stop for top DJs. The entertainment technology package used to dress the venue in lighting and visual effects features fixtures from Elation Professional and sister companies ADJ and Acclaim Lighting.

The audiovisual design for the indoor Beach Club and nightclub includes over 1,000 lighting fixtures, which work from a variety of locations - palm trees, swimming pool, jacuzzis, centerpiece chandelier, stage, roof tops, and elsewhere. “There are 16 different types of fixtures in the club,” states Ted Mizrahi of Mizrahi Show Designs, who serves as technical director for the space and is responsible for everything entertainment technical, including the lighting and visual design.

Much of the large lighting package can be found at the performance stage but there is also an abundance of fixtures in surrounding locations. Fourteen artificial palm trees in the Beach Club for example house moving lights, strobes, blinders, washes and lasers for a disco effect from every direction, while a custom 15-meter diameter kinetic centerpiece chandelier, capable of thousands of visual effects, houses video and lighting to entertain guests in a nightlife party.

Mizrahi uses Elation Cuepix Blinder WW2 fixtures to cover multiple lighting roles in the space. Mounted in each palm tree, in the centerpiece chandelier, on the main stage truss and in the DJ booth, the white light LED blinders are used for blinding, strobing, washes, chases and function as work lights. Also used from the palm trees to light the Beach Club stage area are one-meter long Elation SixBar 1000s color-changing battens, as well as Elation ELED Fresnel II warm white wash lights.

Elation ACL 360 Bars are used in both the Beach Club and the nightclub surrounding the stage, in moving trusses and also work from the centerpiece chandelier. The Elation, ADJ and Acclaim lighting, as well as the Antari M-7 LED fog machines used in the venue, were supplied by Pacific Technical Products Pte Ltd (PTP) through their local supplier Maxitech.
