Early in 2013 , Peter Lewis started the design of prototypes of the LED Dancefloor. At the beginning of 2014 , the first mobile LED Dancefloor was manufactured in Durban North. Peter designed and built a CNC machine to make the floors with consistant precision. From the outset, Peter wanted to make the floors light enough and easy enough to install. Along with a special Engineering plastic imported from Germany, The floors had to be robust and strong. Now after many improvements , Peter has brought the design into the 2020's which now includes built in Anti-Slip Mats and wireless control.
Time was take to research other floors in the market as we as design something that would be suitable and cost effective for the South African market.
Our initial design was a 2.5m x 2.5m floor installed into a small night club. Thereafter we made a 4m x 3 m Dancefloor which we used for various functions as well as all the functions at the Hilton Hotel where Peter was the Resident DJ. The floor was increased by 4 more square metres.
A further 21 square metres built. 12 for a Resturant which was installed in the ceiling and 9 panels to give us a total or 25 square metres. We moved onto an ARTnet controller which allowed us to control the floor in real-time via Laptop and connected via Ethernet.
We designed out own 1m long PCB for our LEDs which included and extra pin for backup. If any LEDs failed it bypassed that LED to continue the lighting uniformity. We continued to build a further 17 square metres and got our Biggest floor hire in Plett of 42 square Metres.
We realised that Durban was a small market and wanted to expand to Johannesburg. Production started in March 2022 on 50 more square metres with a new design board. Our first office in Gauteng opened in March 2023 with the capability of up to a 4mx6m LED Dancefloor. This services the whole of Gauteng. Our Second office is expeced to open before the end of 2023. The second office will either be in Centurian or Fourways area and will also have the capability of up to a 4m x 6m LED Dancefloor. These floors can me combined to made a 8m x 6m. We designed a Controller for our dancefloors which is housed in a elegant cabinet with a 7 inch Full HD Touch Screen Monitor that we designed and built in-house. There is also a easy to use program designed by Peter Lewis that allows the user to set the mood at different times during the evening.
Production started in August 2023 for further 50 square metres with a new design board. This will be part of the first floors that we will be in the Eastern Cape in Port Elizabeth. Capability will be up to a 4mx6m LED Dancefloor. Then we are looking at putting the next 4m x 6m LED Dancefloor in Cape Town. Our Biggest LED Dancefloor floor to date has been a 8m x 8m with 28 square meters been blank floors with no LED's inside. The End of October we have been booked to do a 8m x 10m LED Dancefloor with all the panels working.
