The design team consisted of Lionel Ohayon from ICRAVE, Angelo Poulos from Advanced Audio Technology, Howard Werner from Lightswitch NY and Joe Zamore from LED Source®.
Its award-winning lighting systems and technologies apply
the benefits of LEDs as a highly efficient, long lasting,
environmentally friendly and inherently digital source of
illumination - reinventing light as a highly controllable medium.
Transforming environments through light
The designers at ICRAVE wanted
to create a color changing
colored background behind the
lattice work, that would serve
as the screen surface, in this
multi-visual layered effect. The
Color Kinetics Fuse proved to
be the best product solution.

Stylish, contemporary, and state-of-the-art, Spin
Ultra Lounge is the ultimate night-life destination in Boca Raton, Florida, USA. The Moroccan-themed space mimics a colonnade, with raised bars and columns around the perimeter of the venue and a dance floor and stage in the middle. Serving as a restaurant, lounge, nightclub, live performance venue, and casual happy hour spot, Spin Ultra Lounge needs to change its look and feel at the touch of a button. The key ingredient in the lounge’s flexibility is its LED lighting system, which can instantly change the ambiance of the entire space — from day to night, from a warmly lit restaurant to a colorful concert backdrop to a vibrant night club.
The design team for the
project consisted of a diverse
group of individuals. Lionel
Ohayon of ICRAVE led the
lighting design efforts and
worked with Joe Zamore
from LED Source® to specify
the best LED solutions for
the project, while Angelo
Poulos from Advanced Audio
Technology brought in his
expertise for the audio piece.
Howard Werner of Lightswitch
then integrated both the
lighting and audio components
through his programming
efforts.

To achieve
a truly
immersive
lighting
experience, the design
team first created a three-
dimensional media wall that
wrapped around the perimeter
of the space. The walls are
fitted with LCD monitors
and overlaid with hexagonal
lattice sculptures derived
from a vintage Moroccan
pattern. Philips Color Kinetics
iColor Cove MX Powercore
LED grazing fixtures line
the top and bottom of each
wall, transforming them into
dynamic, color-changing
surfaces. The digitally

controlled LED lighting
coordinates with the LCD
screens and with projectors
lighting the lattice sculptures,
creating a multi-dimensional
and vibrant atmosphere.
To light the lounge’s stylish
entrance, the team installed
2700K wide beam eW Cove
MX Powercore LED fixtures. In
addition, 2700K eW Fuse EC
Powercore fixtures uplight and
downlight the etched glass
wall in the entry. The designers
used additional Cove fixtures
throughout the club. iColor
Cove MX Powercore fixtures
illuminate the ceiling coves and
the dance floor, while 2700K
eW Cove Powercore fixtures
accent the undersides of the bar
counters. ColorBurst 6 fixtures
in ceiling pockets spotlight
unique Moroccan accent pieces
throughout the venue.
Joe Zamore from LED
Source®, chose Philips Color
Kinetics LED lighting fixtures
for the project because of their
high-quality color mixing and
because they require minimal
maintenance, allowing the
original design and focus to
stay intact years after the design
team leaves the building.
LED lighting takes Spin
Ultra Lounge to the next level
of entertainment — the lighting
fixtures are incorporated
seamlessly into a media-rich
digital system of light, video,
and sound to provide a truly
immersive experience. The
digitally controlled system gives
the venue the ability to change
its look and feel at the touch of a
button, setting the tone for any
occasion.
