Fabbrica Restaurant – King St, Newtown

Fabbrica is a restaurant and bar on King St, Newtown, where ambience is everything. Our partners at Tech On Tap, working alongside Black Rock Electrical, installed a zencontrol DALI-2 lighting system that gives the venue complete control over its atmosphere, from a bright, welcoming lunch setup to the warm, low-level lighting that defines the evening service.

The system runs on a single zencontrol application controller paired with a smart switch display, keeping the setup compact and the operation intuitive. Staff can access and switch between preset lighting scenes from their phones or directly from the wall interface, with smooth, flicker-free dimming available across the full range. Lighting transitions happen instantly and seamlessly, allowing Fabbrica to shift the feel of the space without interrupting service or requiring technical know-how.

DALI-2 was chosen for its ability to deliver the ultra-low dimming levels required to create the warm, intimate atmosphere the client envisioned. zencontrol’s platform provides precise control, reliable performance and an interface simple enough for any staff member to use. Fabbrica is a strong example of how DALI lighting control and zencontrol can elevate a hospitality venue by putting the right atmosphere, effortlessly, in the hands of the people running the room.
