SPECIAL EFFECTS

Sequential Illumination

The illumination can be controlled by an adjustable speed sequencer with from two to ten steps. This can be used to illuminate up to ten sections of a sculpture in sequence. This can highlight different sections of the sculpture or give the illusion of movement within the sculpture which is effective for the popular wave sculptures or other marine themed sculptures. The illumination can either rotate around the perimeter or move from the back to the front simulating the motion of a wave. Other sequences are possible. Also the sequencer can be used to change the color of the illumination. Additionally, a fader can be incorporated so that each step of the illumination can fade out as the next one fades in. A separate control box may be needed for the turntables and the steel pedestals; otherwise the controls can be installed within the pedestal. Price as shown with solid black marble is $975, with a black satin finish it is $585.

Color Wheels

Color wheels can be added to any of the 14" pedestals except the steel pedestals. Up to eight different colors including white are possible on the wheel. All the seven rainbow colors are available. The price is $350.

Dual Color Temperature Illumination

A type of Murano glass appears blue or purple depending on the color temperature of the illumination. Pedestals (except the steel ones) can be made that provide both types of light with independent controls. A sequencer can also be added to periodically alternate between the two types of illumination.
