CINEMAPathe Tuschinski Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Architect: Hijman Louis
Lighting Designer: Grontmij TMTuschinski is a huge, Art Deco cinema palace conveniently located between the Munt tower and the Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam. Built by the immigrant from Poland Abraham Icek Tuschinski, the cinema opened in 1921 and it remains until today with its Art Deco interior one of the most cherished buildings in Amsterdam. Tuschinski has been thoroughly modernized and is today one of the release cinemas in the city.
During its 4 year restoration, the cinema was given an electrical overhaul which included an iLight control system. There are 40.000 LED’s in the cinema controlled by 3 iLight SCD24 DMX controllers. 20.000 of which are white LED’s and the others are yellow.
Every light fitting has approx. 30 White LEDs and 30 Yellow LEDS.The system allows control of the colours individually to create a range of bright and warm light throughout.
With the use of iLight UIGs, the projector is linked directly to the lighting control system allowing the control of the lights automatically from the operation of the projector. The lights can also be manually controlled by several push-button panels.
As well as the main theatre, iLight’s system was used to control all the light fittings in the rest of the building, VIP room, dining room, entrance area with its colour changing ceiling and the outdoor lighting.

Why the client chose iLight
This Art Deco cinema in the heart of Amsterdam was subject to a 4 year restoration. A sophisticated lighting control system was needed to complement the state of the art cinematic experience. The main deciding factors for the client and lighting designer were:
Ability to of 3rd part equipment such as
projectors to control the lighting control
system
Control of custom LED light fittings via DMX
A DMX control units that ‘sit’ on the iCANnet
network enabling DMX to be integral to the
control system
Design and manufacture of a bespoke wall
station for ease of scene selection
