Fireray Protects Indian Cinemas
Beam Detectors for Bollywood
28 of British company Fire Fighting Enterprises’ Fireray reflective beam detectors have been installed across 8 Adlabs Films cinema complexes in India, by regional distributor Code Red Electronics and Security Systems. A further 7 Adlabs cinema projects are expected to follow suit, requiring another 30 detectors.
Adlabs Films Ltd. is India’s fastest growing film entertainment company, and runs the largest Indian cinema chain – BIG Cinemas, with nearly 400 screens across the subcontinent, Malaysia and the U.S. In the year to come, more than 30 million people are expected to watch a film in one of the company’s theatres, and it is naturally of vital importance to safely protect them in the event of a fire. To that end, 8 F100R and 20 F50R Fireray units are now protecting the Lakshmi, Alankar, Ganesh, KS, Nagalaskhmi, Keerthana Ramana, Prakash Kailiash and Majesty Theatres, all in the south-eastern region of Tamilnadu.
FFE’s reflective beam products were selected for these installations due to their proven reliability, easy maintenance and installation, and exceptional coverage range in large indoor areas – the wide, high ceilings of the cinema screens would take many, many point detectors to protect effectively. One Fireray F100R can safely detect smoke over an area of 1500m2 – 100m x 15m, 7.5m laterally either side of the beam; it would take at least 14 point detectors to cover that same space.
