ITE is proud to announce the successful completion of a transformative DMX LED house lighting and infrastructure upgrade at Llewellyn Hall—an iconic performance venue nestled within the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. Known for its exceptional acoustics and architectural grandeur, Llewellyn Hall now benefits from a state-of-the-art lighting system, designed and delivered by ITE, that brings enhanced performance capability and audience experience into perfect harmony.
This ambitious project positions ITE at the forefront of stage lighting Melbourne solutions, showcasing a perfect blend of innovation, precision, and a deep understanding of the unique demands that world-class performance venues require.
A Vision in Light
At the heart of the upgrade is a powerful suite of Robe Anolis fixtures, selected for their performance reliability, energy efficiency, and sleek design. These fixtures were carefully chosen to complement the architectural vision of Llewellyn Hall while delivering uncompromising lighting quality.
The newly installed house lighting system includes:
1. ) 38 Robe Anolis ArcSource XP56 fixtures
2.) 17 Robe Anolis ArcSource HP111 fixtures
3.) 35 Robe Anolis ArcSource MP111 fixtures
4.) 35 Robe Anolis ArcSource SP16 fixtures
Each of these fixtures plays a vital role in creating a warm, immersive atmosphere that adapts to the needs of different performances, from classical concerts to lectures and special events.
To further support the architectural narrative of the space, ITE also deployed:
1.) 18 Robe Anolis Calumma XS MC fixtures
2.) 14 Robe Anolis Calumma M MC fixtures
This thoughtful selection ensures a visually cohesive and technically superior lighting experience.
Engineering Elegance
One of the standout challenges in this project was maintaining the aesthetic integrity of Llewellyn Hall while implementing cutting-edge technology. ITE’s team engineered custom light bracket solutions that allowed the new fixtures to be seamlessly retrofitted into existing mounting points. This level of craftsmanship minimized disruption to the venue’s structure while significantly simplifying installation.
ITE’s innovative approach not only preserved the venue’s historic charm but also allowed for quicker deployment—an essential factor when working within active, high-use venues.
Intelligent Control and Infrastructure
Every fixture in this project is fully integrated and controlled through a powerful ETC Paradigm system, known for its flexibility, scalability, and intuitive operation. This is supported by a Pathport node backbone, providing dependable data distribution and enhanced control flexibility. The result is a lighting system that offers unmatched control precision, whether during a performance or for day-to-day operations.
To ensure Llewellyn Hall is equipped for the evolving technical needs of live production, ITE also delivered substantial infrastructure upgrades, including:
1.) A complete ETC Blue Light system for backstage visibility and safety
2.) A Cat6a network upgrade for modern networking demands
3.) Installation of 12G SDI video cabling for high-definition broadcast and multimedia capabilities
These enhancements create a future-proof environment capable of supporting complex productions and multimedia integration, setting a new benchmark for stage lighting Melbourne projects.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
ITE’s lighting solution doesn’t just shine brighter—it shines smarter. By choosing high-efficiency Robe Anolis fixtures, the upgrade dramatically reduces power consumption while maintaining exceptional light output. This move aligns with ANU’s broader sustainability goals and reinforces ITE’s commitment to environmentally responsible technology solutions.
With lighting accounting for a significant portion of venue energy usage, this transition to LED technology not only reduces carbon footprint but also lowers long-term operating costs—a win for both performance and the planet.
Client-Focused Delivery
Throughout the project, ITE worked closely with stakeholders at ANU to ensure all goals were met with precision and care. From design consultation to installation and final commissioning, every phase was executed with a collaborative spirit and a shared vision for excellence.
The result? A seamlessly integrated lighting system that enhances both the practical and aesthetic aspects of Llewellyn Hall, with glowing feedback from venue management and technical teams alike.
