Situated in the heart of Docklands, Alumbra with its waterfront views, serves as the most sought after venues for parties and functions in Melbourne. Alumbra lives up to its name which literally means “to light up” in Spanish language even more so with the addition of twelve Martin MAC101 LED moving head fixtures.
Supplied by Audio Lighting Services, the MAC101’s are hung from a circular truss suspended over the dance floor from where they can provide a wide variety of lighting. The venue caters for private functions during the week and at the weekend it serves as a nightclub.
“The venue needed something that could serve as a generic club fixture over the weekend but could also cater to the corporate events, weddings, fashion shows and such,” remarked Louie Constantinou, director of ALS. “The MAC101’s have proven to be a trusty workhorse for us starting at table lights and ending with all out flashy disco lighting. They recently held an event to celebrate the venue’s 10th anniversary and I used then as detail lighting in the room.”
Louie is most impressed by the MAC101’s highly efficient LEDs with true colour calibration.
“When you use them in the balanced RGB mode the colours are just amazing,” he said. “The pastels are great, reds are red, greens are green …. they’re bright and punchy. The beam is nice and tight too plus they are super fast. They really are awesome.”
Since acquiring the MAC101’s eight months ago, Louie reports that they have been incredibly reliable.
Also on the truss are twelve Pro Shop LED MultiPAR Quad Colour which are used to highlight the venue during the day whenever there are walk through inspections by prospective clients.
Two ELC DMX Scene Player (one with a keypad and one with faders) panels have been patched with presets so any staff member can light up the room by the press of a button.
“It’s a very straightforward installation that any technician could simply walk into and run with,” concluded Louie.
