Chinatown Mall in Brisbane is controlled by Control freak Showpro and 42 Slammos.

100 SLAMMO pcbs have been installed at King George Square in Brisbane and will be commissioned in the coming weeks.

Creative Lighting recently shipped 360channels of DALI fan control to Clipsal for the William McCormack Place green star project in Cairns. Nearly 50 DIDIOs are also being installed, one for every DALI line; and commissioning will be done using Creative's ADDICT tool.

In response to Queensland Rail's decision to minimise energy consumption, Creative Lighting supplied and commissioned lighting control for Rockhampton Railway Station. Just 3 DIDIO 7017s are all that was needed to control the railway station's platform and foyer lighting as well as the entry signage. The DIDIOs control contactors for HID loads, and DALI lines for fluorescent lighting. Occupancy sensing is routed to the DIDIOs which dim the lighting accordingly. There is also a timer based functionality and manual overrides with background timing in the DIDIO firmware.  

Already regarded as a benchmark for the best lighting control equipment in Australia with its GrandMa dimmer system for the theatres, the $34 million refurbishment to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre features extensive use of leds to replace front of house lighting, and they are all controlled by over 100 Control Freak SLAMMO DMX-512 dimmers. In addition to the SLAMMOs for the Concert Hall's front of house lighting, Creative Lighting have also supplied SLAMMO led power supplies and Tridonic Tallex led luminaires for the lift lights, Osram linearlight leds and SLAMMOs for the bars, SLAMMOs with simple rotary pot control for the change rooms, and custom SLAMMO 5v and 7.5v LED dimmers for aisle lights in both the Lyric Theatre and Concert Hall.

The new Telstra high rise in George Street Brisbane has also just been completed. The cbd high rise building is outlined in rgb leds controlled by Control Freak SLAMMO DALI dimmers, with a Control Freak DIDIO colour and sequence control system, with custom programming by Creative Lighting. Creative used its own unique DALI Simulator programme to visualise the end result including colour change and sequencing. Design of the project was by Deepi Naru at NDY Light, and solutions provider was the Lighting Group with installation by Stowe. The building is owned by Charter Hall.

The Ipswich City Council's new nocturnal enclosure for bilbys has been successfully completed  and the control system is a Control Freak DIDIO DALI controller. Creative designed the lighting and control to automatically ramp up the dimmable fluorescent and Control Freak LIDA DALI HID lighting over a one hour period for 'dawn' lighting at night, and a separate 'dusk' lighting sequence during the day. There is also a SLAMMO led dimmer for the sign leds in the walk through tunnel. The hopping mice and bilby tenants are in and happy: the lighting has completely fooled them into a reverse natural cycle so they can be seen actively during our day and sleep during our night.

SKM Brisbane 8-story commercial fit out. 


Designed by D&M, the lighting of Sinclair Knight Mertz's new headquarters at Southbank had to meet the exacting requirements of a 5 star energy rated project. Commissioning the thousands of lights and sensors was undertaken using the latest Control Freak ADDICT v1.04 wireless tools, and every DALI loop is controlled and powered by Control Freak DIDIO- PSCI.
