Concert Hall Façade Lighting
In January of 2018, Perth Concert Hall underwent a refurbishment of the façade lighting to upgrade the old discharge luminaires with modern LED luminaires to reduce maintenance and running costs for the venue.
As the existing discharge luminaries had reached end of serviceable life, Engineering Technology Consultants specified for new LED luminaires to be installed in the same locations as the decommissioned luminaires as to maintain the heritage look of the façade and provide minimal civil works and disturbances to the building.
Insight Electrical were awarded the tender for the refurbishment and engaged Light Application to supply and commission the new luminaires. A total of nine Martin Professional Exterior 410 RGBW Wash lights were specified as the ideal replacement for the column up lights.
Our technician, Matt Bancroft comments “The Exterior 410 RGBW wash lights produce amazing colours for their size, with the blue chip leaning more towards the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. This allows for amazing reproduction of colours especially magenta and purples, which some luminaries struggle to reach as their blue chip is usually more aligned towards cyan. The addition of a white LED chip also allows for subtle desaturation and pastel colours”
ETC’s intention for the refurbishment was to provide more of a dynamic statement on the façade, instead of replacing “like for like” with the old coloured wash lighting, as such Four Martin Exterior 1000 Gobo Projectors were specified and installed in the existing pole locations.
Two projectors were installed per pole to provide total coverage of the façade with seven selectable projection gobos, as the installation location was restricted to the existing pole location, the zoomable lens of 10° to 43° was invaluable to ensure gobos could be sized accurately for the desired effect. CMYK colour mixing provides the ability for the staff to fine-tune colours for each event, while the animation wheel and two prism effects provide additional combinations of effects with the gobos to provide engaging animations to further enhance the brutalist architecture of the Perth Concert Hall.
