Lumenpulse LEDs Illuminates the Marquee and Facade of a Legendary Montreal Concert Venue

December 11, 2017

The façade of one of Montreal’s iconic performance halls has been transformed with a dynamic lighting design using luminaires from Lumenpulse. MTELUS, formerly known as the Metropolis, is located on Ste-Catherine Street. Its new vibrant lighting design was created by Patty Xenos Design, who worked with project management QMD and owners Spectra. 

Patty Xenos Design used Lumenpulse Lumenfacade colour-changing (RGBW) fixtures to highlight the textured façade and second floor arches, while the Lumendome Nano Colour-Changing direct-view pixel luminaires light the underside of the marquee.

Thanks to DMX-control and the low-resolution screen capabilities of the Lumendome Nano fixtures, the MTELUS team now has the ability to create colour chasing effects and various colour schemes for the venue’s concerts and events.

    Canadian architecture is entering a new era where lighting is no longer defined by brightness alone. For decades, buildings were designed to eliminate shadows, replacing contrast with even illumination. That era is over.
