A distinctive presence on the Wellington Waterfront, Circa Theatre has recently undergone a bold exterior upgrade, led by Inside Design.
Their concept called for a lighting feature that could echo the velarium’s curves — a form beautifully realised in Kaynemaile, which moves with the wind and reflects the nearby harbour.
Moth Light was engaged to develop a custom lighting solution, and we worked with a local metal fabricator to bring the design to life. The result is a seamless integration of RGBW lighting using our new Nellie Neon 23.
This is the first project to feature Nellie Neon 23: a flexible linear LED system designed to bend on two axes. Its formability and programmable colour output allowed us to follow the sweeping lines of the façade without compromise. The installation can be lit in bright, luminous colours to celebrate national or local events.

Nellie Neon is a range of flexible LED Neon products, including white and RGBW LED options. The Nellie Neon 23 is a RGBW “dual-bend” neon that can be bent in two axes which allows for curves in two planes - great for complex applications such as curved joinery or walls. With cut increments at 62.5mm and various mounting accessories, Nellie Neon is incredibly versatile.
