The 3rd City Festival Launch venue, The Calyx, at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens has achieved unprecedented design flexibility and accuracy with an adjustable lighting track system, according to Festival Partner, WE-EF LIGHTING.

As part of a major refurbishment project at the Ken Woolley-designed Arc glasshouse, which was completed in 1987, The Calyx is a semi-enclosed area featuring greenhouse-type climatic conditions.

"It’s 30 degrees and 70 per cent humidity inside, with sprinklers going off. You wouldn’t typically find that in an indoor lighting space," according to Serge Janjic, NSW Sales Manager at WE-EF Sales Partner, Light Culture.

The reinvigorated Calyx houses a varying range of displays including: new, innovative interpretation and horticulture displays; universal access and improved amenities; and an expanded formal education programme.
