After working with [Horizon Solutions](http://www.horizonsolutions.net) to install new on-stage fixtures as well as a [Paradigm](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Architectural-Systems/Paradigm/) control system, the university’s [School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design](http://ampd.yorku.ca) faculty turned to them again for this extensive upgrade. ![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ETC-Light_03.jpg?width=750&height=500&name=ETC-Light_03.jpg) ArcSystem Pro installed in the Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre (photo by Alomar Kocur) Horizon Solutions worked with the technical staff in Performance Facilities as well as ETC’s Application Engineering Department to replace the halogen house light bulbs. In total, four performance spaces were updated: the [Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre](https://facilities.ampd.yorku.ca/facilities/sandra-faire-and-ivan-fecan-theatre/); the [Tribute Communities Recital Hall](https://facilities.ampd.yorku.ca/facilities/tribute-communities-recital-hall/); the [Joseph G. Green Studio Theatre](https://facilities.ampd.yorku.ca/facilities/joseph-g-green-studio-theatre/); and the [McLean Performance Studio](https://facilities.ampd.yorku.ca/facilities/mclean-performance-studio/). All the ArcSystem Pro fixtures that are now installed feature ETC’s award-winning Fade to Warm technology. With this feature, the LED fixtures mimic the beautiful red shift of incandescent lighting as the fixtures are dimmed. Now, York University students, staff, and visitors can enjoy the efficient LED system that still prioritizes quality of light. ![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/TCRH_House-Open-R.jpg?width=750&height=500&name=TCRH_House-Open-R.jpg) ArcSystem Pro house lighting in the Tribute Communities Recital Hall (photo by Alomar Kocur) This project utilized the following gear: - [**ArcSystem Pro Four-Cell Square – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Pro-Multi-Cell/Features.aspx) - [**ArcSystem Pro Four-Cell Round – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Pro-Four-Cell/Features.aspx) - [**ArcSystem Pro One-Cell Recessed – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Pro-One-Cell/Features.aspx?utm_campaign=ArcSystem) - [**ArcSystem Pro One-Cell Yoke – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Pro-One-Cell/Features.aspx?utm_campaign=ArcSystem) - [**ArcSystem Pro Two-Cell Square – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Pro-Multi-Cell/Features.aspx?utm_campaign=ArcSystem) - [**ArcSystem ArcLamp – Fade to Warm**](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/ArcLamp/Features.aspx) In addition to the ArcSystem Pro house lighting, York University has equipped its performance spaces with [Ion](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Consoles/Eos-Consoles/Ion-Xe/Features.aspx) consoles, [Source Four](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/Source-Four/) fixtures, [ColorSource](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/ColorSource/) fixtures, High End Systems [SolaFrame Theatre](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/High-End-Systems/Lighting-Fixtures/SolaFrame/Theatre/Features.aspx) fixtures, and more. *Photo credit: Alomar Kocur* - - - 0 [#FEATURED](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/featured) [#Theatre](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/theatre) [#Paradigm](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/paradigm) [#LED](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/led) [#ArcSystem](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/arcsystem) [#ArcSystem Pro](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/arcsystem-pro) [#GEAR](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/gear) [#house lighting](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/house-lighting) ### Series 3 and Desire Fresnel – Better Together [Previous article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/05/series-3-and-desire-fresnel) ### Three ways ETC keeps Hollywood alive in Vancouver [Next article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/04/hollywood-theatre-lives-in-vancouver) [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. Studying English in college and tutoring writing across the curriculum fostered her passion for words and weakness for puns. When she’s not writing, she’s likely watching horror movies with her husband or plugging away at her goal of reading 50 books each year. A Wisconsin local, she loves seeing ETC products at work in Madison-area venues she has frequented throughout her life. #### You may also like [![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hubfs/2025_10_31_HinckleyScreenDemo_8.jpg)](https://blog.etcconnect.com/etc-lighting-gear-brings-virtual-production-to-life-with-hinckley-productions) [SPOTLIGHT](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/spotlight) ### [ETC Lighting Gear Brings Virtual Production to Life with Hinckley Productions](https://blog.etcconnect.com/etc-lighting-gear-brings-virtual-production-to-life-with-hinckley-productions) By [Quinn Wirth](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/quinn-buchanan) 20-Aug-2026 With a cutting-edge virtual production studio, [Hinckley Productions](https://hinckleyproductions.com/) is helping clients create immersive environments with greater flexibility, speed, and realism than ever before.
