DWR Distribution recently supplied two brand new, identically designed and built
schools with a basic lighting solution to accommodate school plays and general
assemblies.
Soshanguve Secondary School, situated about 25 kilometres north of Pretoria, and
the Chief Albert Luthuli Primary School in Daveyton, Benoni are government schools
established to change the face of schools located in townships. Each school consists
of 33 classrooms and sporting facilities. They are exact copies of each other.
“We were called by a company called IES Electrical to assist with the project,’
explains Johnny Scholtz from DWR. “They wanted a simple lighting system, fixtures
that could change colour, and a small control system.’
DWR installed three lighting bars, a FOH overhead and a back truss, with all the
necessary rigging gear, to each school hall. Each school was also supplied with four
Philips Selecon SPX Zoom Spot 15°-35, a Philips Strand 6 Pack Dimmer, 24
Longman F4 Ups and a Philips Strand 250 ML console. Added to this was the cabling
and distros required to make the system work.
The installation was carried out by the reputable DimBright team and was overseen
by Keith Pugin of DWR, known for his meticulous attention to detail.
Once completed, Gareth Chambers presented training to the teachers involved and
guided them through the system.
