The Australian Racing Museum is off and running! Located in Melbourne 's Federation Square , the racing Hall of Fame, otherwise known as "Champions", is rapidly becoming one of the city's popular attractions. Employing the latest in audiovisual and display technology, this unique exhibition showcases the history of thoroughbred horse racing in Victoria .
Fibre Optics
As the practise with most museums today, all display cabinets were lit with fibre optic lighting. The specification was performance-based, despite the contents of the display cases not being known at the time of quotation. Consequently, Lightmoves (Digilin's Distributor) designed a system that would allow for maximum flexibility, whilst delivering the required light levels within each case.
The display cabinet lighting design was based around 48-fibre end-light cables. This was teamed with Digilin's CDC50 adjustable, recessed fibre optic lens, that offers full gimbal movement and beam angle adjustment from 16° to 35°. To illuminate exhibits deep inside the larger cases, Lightmoves also commissioned Digilin to manufacture custom, adjustable dropper-rod versions of the CDC50.
