Patronaat invests in Robe TetraX luminaires

Patronaat, a live music venue in Haarlem, the Netherlands, just outside capital city Amsterdam, stages over 300 shows a year in its two live performance halls and a small stage/club operating over weekend nights, offering rock and pop shows, club nights and music-based festival events.

The venue has featured a Robe moving light rig in-house since 2012, which has been upgraded in recent years to include some of the newest Robe technologies. The most recent addition to the inventory (which also includes 36 Esprites, together with Spiider LED wash beams and ParFect 150s) is 36 units of TetraX 360-degree rotating LED battens, primarily being used in the 950-capacity main hall.

Head of lighting Robin van der Plas says they were initially looking at LEDBeam 350s, but then saw the TetraXs and thought they would be “something different, especially with the individual pixel control”. Twenty-four fixtures were initially ordered, but quickly upped to 36 - now 24 are rigged in the roof above the main stage, with another six flown above the audience and six more available as part of a floor package. The six “floating” fixtures are also often used in the second hall.

The TetraXs have been in use extensively since the start of the year as part of the main hall production lighting design created by Dimitri de Wal, who created the house lighting schemes for all three of Patronaat’s performance spaces. A technical crew of twelve covers all departments - lighting, audio, and video. The TetraXs were delivered by Robe’s Benelux distributor Controllux.
