Description:

This exhibit tells the story of Newfoundland's contributions in the First World War. On the morning of July 1, 1916, The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was decimated at the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel, part of the Somme Offensive. Of the 780 men that attacked that day, only 110 survived unscathed. This exhibit tells the story of this tragic battle and the men who participated in it, in addition to the stories of the men and women who were instrumental on the home front and in non-combat roles overseas.

MCLD was engaged by Origin Studios to provide lighting for the exhibit. Of primary importance was that the lighting be unobtrusive and that glare would not affect visitors and impede their immersion in the exhibit. MCLD attempted to use existing lighting inventory, modified for use with LED sources. To keep the cost of the project down, the bulk of the work after specification was done in a week long focus and installation session.
