As the LED upgrade started to become a reality, [ETC’s ArcSystem Pro](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/ArcSystem/) fixtures quickly became the standout luminaire choice for the project.  Initially, LEDs became a wish list item for Gateway Church for the energy savings and improving the overall color temperature in the space. The need became more urgent as frustrations grew with the older system, which included PARs, recessed house lighting units, and under-balcony fixtures. Ben Catella, lighting coordinator for Gateway Church, noted that the team was tied down by their 3200 K key light. This led to an overexposure of blue because they were constantly color balancing to a warmer light.  “We started using gels to achieve a higher color temperature, which worked for us for a while,” recalls Catella. “Then, re-gelling the fixtures became a chore, so it started to look dingy. We had two different color temperatures happening in the room because some used gel and some did not.”  As one half of the room started to appear increasingly orange, the LED upgrade got higher on the church’s priority list. Looking for a production-grade fixture, Catella worked with [Barbizon](https://www.barbizon.com/) to get a demo of the 4000 K ArcSystem Pro fixtures. In addition to the exceptional quality of light, Catella notes that ETC’s extensive warranty was a key aspect in the decision-making process. All ETC LED fixtures hold a 5-year full–fixture warranty and a 10-year LED array warranty.  ![Gateway Church installs ArcSystem Pro](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Gateway-Church_ArcSystem-Pro_Installation-2_750-px.jpg?width=750&height=562&name=Gateway-Church_ArcSystem-Pro_Installation-2_750-px.jpg) Once the fixtures arrived, Catella and his direct reports were in a unique situation as the pandemic shut down much of the church’s in-person activities. In six weeks, Catella’s team of three was able to remove all the old fixtures, install the new ArcSystem Pro fixtures, and run data cable. Gateway Church’s Southlake Campus is now equipped with 315 ArcSystem Pro One-Cell luminaires, 124 Pro Four-Cell square luminaires, and 52 Pro Eight-Cell luminaires. Catella uses ETC’s [Paradigm](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Architectural-Systems/Paradigm/) architectural controls and [Concert](https://www.etcconnect.com/concert/) software to control, configure, and maintain their system.  “The ArcSystem Pro fixtures have been awesome to work with. All of our pastors who come in for video shoots and more have commented on the noticeable improvements in how the space feels and looks,” says Catella. “It looks brighter, feels bigger, and feels more welcoming.”   As hopes remain high for a greater sense of normalcy in 2021, Catella says he and his team are looking forward to operations returning to full capacity and having more church members enjoy the lighting upgrade.  *Photos by Ben Catella* - - - 0 [#SPOTLIGHT](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/spotlight) [#FEATURED](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/featured) [#ArcSystem](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/arcsystem) [#ArcSystem Pro](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/arcsystem-pro) [#house of worship](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/house-of-worship) [#architectural lighting](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/architectural-lighting) [#house lighting](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/house-lighting) [#church lighting](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/church-lighting) [#church](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/church) ### ETC lights up your Valentine’s Day [Previous article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/02/etc-lights-up-your-valentines-day) ### Dingledine Music Center gets fit for a new century [Next article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/01/dingledine-music-center-gets-fit) [Quinn Wirth](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/quinn-buchanan) ![Quinn Wirth](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/quinn.png?width=180&height=180&name=quinn.png) Quinn joined ETC in 2018 with a background in marketing for K-12 and higher education.
