Versuz in Hasselt is without a doubt one of the best known clubs in the region, as well as one of the 50 best clubs in the world according to DJ MAG. After a complete renovation in 2013, this leading Belgian location has reinforced its status as one of the most innovative and spectacular nightclubs.

Fairlight, CLF Lighting and Martin Professional distributor in the Benelux, has been responsible for installing the new lighting plan in the Main Room. Thanks to help of Bert Gemels and his team of technicians, we managed to take down the old mounting and install the new layout within 4 days. After an additional day for programming, the club reopened for a weekend packed with events.

Yves Smolders, manager at Versuz, reflects on a successful process. 'From the very beginning I have enjoyed working with the Fairlight team. They all have a down-to-earth mentality and were considerate of our budget and preferences. I am sure this is only the beginning of a long-lasting partnership'.

Bas Scheij (Basz Design), from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, was approached by Fairlight to create a unique, stylish plan. 'The design is based on a round shape in order to give it a playful look. The front oval LED element are reused and position differently in order to create a more spacious feel'.

'For the space above the dance floor I have created custom cylinders which can be individually placed in vertical positions. 'Around the DJ booth I've used a half Eurotruss HD44 circle to create an intimate feel. 'During the design process I always kept in mind how the set could be made smaller but without compromising the overall look of the light and video setup'.

The operators of the impressive light set are very enthusiastic about the update. Nils Berens and Alex van der Krabben: 'The new Martin Rush MH 10 Beam FX works best for us. These fittings stand out because of their high light yield, and the LED ring gives us even more possibilities'.

Berens: 'I've been really surpised by the Martin Rush MH6 Wash. The light yield and deep colours are a wonderful addition to my shows. I also like the flexibility of the Martin VDO Sceptrons. We can quickly switch between DMX control by us or complete control by the DJ/VJ.

Van de Krabben also believes the CLF Stinger is worth installing. 'I think it's great to be able to produce creative effects where you can freely control individual LEDs. I'm also really happy with the output and colours of the Stingers'.

The most eye-catching part of the new design are 24 cylinders which contain a total of 192 Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED strips. A Martin Rush MH 10 Beam FX hangs from every cylinder. 19 Martin Rush MH 6 Wash and 22 Martin Atomic LED with Colours compliment the Martin Professional package. The CLF Lighting fittings used are the Beam 6 and the Stinger. The Beam 6 are placed in a semi-circle behind the DJ booth. The Stingers hang in a semi-circle above the DJ booth.

Versuz is open every Thursday, Saturday and Monday, but also for special events.
