CasE sTUDYILUMINaRC® Rocks Hard at seminole Paradise

ChallengeSeminole Paradise sought efficient ways to upgrade its existing

lighting fixtures, which were failing due to the intense heat and

humidity of South Florida’s climate.

solUTionInstall LED-fitted exterior lighting solutions, manufactured by

ILUMINARC®, which are outdoor-rated and made to project smooth,

consistent colored light—illuminating the landscape as well as

downlighting structures throughout the entertainment complex.

Over 400 ILUMINARC®

architectural wash lights

illuminate the grounds

of Seminole Paradise

which encompasses a bevy of

restaurants, boutiques and stores. All

of which surround Seminole Hard Rock

Casino and Hotel, the casino’s Hard

Rock Café Hollywood, FL and the live

entertainment venue, Hard Rock Live.

Specified by Audio Systems Consulting

of Miami, Fla., the ILUMINARC® exterior

lighting solutions replaced fixtures that

were not holding up to the harsh South

Florida environments.

The property, situated on land owned

by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, has

a brilliant entrance studded with palm

trees which line a lake punctuated

in the middle by a fountain. These

palms are uplit by hundreds of color-

changing ILUMINARC® Ilumipod 18 IP

often programmed to reflect holidays

or seasons. They also complement

the lighting used in the fountain

for coordinated light, music and

video shows.

Where the palm trees end, a promenade

begins and affords a path for guests

to walk lakeside past restaurants and

landings which offer vantage points of

the expansive grounds. Underneath this

walkway, illuminating the retaining walls

and the water below, are hundreds of

ILUMINARC® Ilumipanel 48 IP wash

lights which work in concert with the

uplit trees as well as the fountain.

Elsewhere in the entertainment

complex, 45 ILUMINARC® Ilumiline 21 IP and ILUMINARC® Ilumiline 36

IP exterior wash lights can be found

downlighting Café Martorano’s, owned

by famed restaurateur Steve Martorano.

Fifteen ILUMINARC® Ilumipod 36 IP light up Bongos Cuban Café owned by

superstars Gloria and Emilio Estefan.

The façade of Hard Rock Live is

accented by blocks of red, brick-like

structures which project from its main

wall and are lined by 40 ILUMINARC®

Ilumiline 21 IP exterior wash lights.

The entrance is marked by three sets

of doors directly below the distinct

Hard Rock Live sign and uplit by four

ILUMINARC® Ilumipod Inground 36 IP wash lights. The outside path leading

up to the Hard Rock Live features

planters filled with palm trees, foliage

and dozens of ILUMINARC® Ilumipod 18 IP exterior lights.

The environs of Seminole Paradise are now a color-changing marvel delighting local and visiting patrons alike. The

ILUMINARC® exterior lighting solutions have withstood the heat, humidity and hurricane seasons of South Florida.

As technology improves, so do we. Some of the products used in this case study have been improved since this installation,

and are reflected in the lighting solutions below:
