Bahamas Entertainment Resort

The brief

A waterfront entertainment complex has to perform two jobs at once. By day it is a working venue; after dark it becomes the skyline of the bay. That means the lighting cannot be a single static rig — it has to read differently at 7pm, at midnight, and during festival weekends, and it has to do so without a technician on site.

What we delivered

Outdoor architectural contour lighting and indoor scene lighting are driven from one unified control layer rather than two separate systems. Lighting themes are scheduled against the venue's trading hours and its festival calendar, so the same hardware produces a different result on a quiet Tuesday night and on a New Year event — without manual intervention.

The control backbone is KNX. Because KNX is an open international standard, the installed system can be extended, re-tuned or handed to a local integrator in the destination country without changing the controller platform. Scheduling, scene recall and dimming behaviour remain under the same engineering tool (ETS) that our engineers use in Nantong.

Engineering notes

Facade and interior on one bus architecture. Outdoor and indoor lighting share the same control topology, which removes the need for a protocol gateway between building systems and simplifies handover to the venue's own maintenance team.

Time-based theme scheduling. Rather than a nightly manual scene recall, themes follow the trading calendar. This removes a recurring human task and guarantees consistency across every evening, including the busiest ones.

Open protocol for the long term. KNX devices from different manufacturers interoperate on the same bus. As the resort extends or rebrands, lighting can be added or swapped without migrating the whole system.

Delivered from Nantong, China

This project was engineered and commissioned by our team in Nantong and delivered to an international site. For clients outside China we work as the system integrator and engineering partner, coordinating with the local contractor on site logistics while keeping system design, programming and commissioning under one accountable team.
