Acme Enlightens The Australian National University

The capital city of Australia hosted the Enlighten Festival over the past 3 weeks, celebrating the amazing culture and creativity you can experience in Canberra.

Elite Event Technology have been appointed to creatively illuminate several unique sites across the city. One of them was a building within The Australian National University (ANU) campus.

“We have used 48 Acme Tour Pixel Bar IP65 rated fixtures to illuminate the façade of this building within ANU, highlighting the architecture and creating festive vibes within the University Precinct,” says Darren Russell, MD of Elite Event Technology.

“The Acme Tour Pixel Bar is a perfect fixture for temporary façade illumination, punchy, reliable and weatherproof, which comes in very handy in Canberra. As with many prestige illumination projects we do around the city and beyond, when you light up the building of the world’s leading university, you need to make sure you choose reliable technology, that will deliver a superb result no matter the weather conditions or circumstances,” comments Darren.

“We have used 48 Acme Tour Pixel Bar IP65 rated fixtures to illuminate the façade of this building within ANU, highlighting the architecture and creating festive vibes within the University Precinct,” says Darren Russell, MD of Elite Event Technology.

The lighting sequences were pre-programmed by Chamsys MagicQ MQ80 console and then run on an Acme DMX Recorder. “For some of the evenings we had also programmed the Ukrainian Flag colours as recognition of our client, the University’s support of the Ukrainian people and the current situation over there”, adds Darren.

Enlighten Festival shines a light on the dynamic and creative energy of Canberra, bringing together a program of amazing events and entertainment over 17 days, transforming the city and its surrounds into a spectacular display of art, music, food & entertainment.
