About Us
Who We Are
Clear Control is a leading Australian provider of custom LED lighting solutions, delivering controllable and colour-changing systems that redefine how spaces are experienced. We specialise in architectural lighting, signage, and public art — combining technical precision with creative vision to achieve standout results.
Our team brings together specialists in lighting design, custom fixture development, and advanced control systems, ensuring seamless integration across even the most complex projects. From landmark infrastructure to immersive public art, we partner with clients to deliver turnkey solutions that are innovative, reliable, and built to last.
What sets us apart is our ability to merge cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of Australia’s built environment. Every project we deliver is more than illumination — it’s transformation. We create permanent installations that inspire connection, enrich communities, and leave a lasting impact on the spaces people share.
Our Story
Clear Control began in 2018 with a simple idea – that lighting can be both technically precise and artistically expressive. Founder Dene Weslake assembled a small team of designers, engineers and programmers to deliver custom LED solutions that didn’t exist in the Australian market at the time. Early projects combined architectural lighting, signage and colour‑changing installations, establishing a reputation for creativity and reliability.
The company quickly evolved from a niche start‑up into a trusted partner for complex projects. Clear Control’s expertise in lighting design, custom fixtures and advanced control systems attracted architects, councils and developers across Australia. Today, the business is based in Sydney and is the exclusive distributor for LEDCTRL in Australia and New Zealand, providing end‑to‑end support for lighting hardware, software and integration. This partnership allows Clear Control to deliver cutting‑edge control technology alongside locally designed fixtures.
Beyond commercial work, Clear Control is committed to cultural projects that enrich communities. For example, Burwood Council engaged Clear Control as the lighting supplier for the Ford Lane Murals Project, a public art initiative that uses programmable lighting to animate murals and transform a laneway into an immersive cultural space. Collaborations like this reflect the company’s belief that light can tell stories, elevate public spaces and connect people.
As Clear Control looks ahead, the focus remains on innovation and craftsmanship. By combining design‑led thinking with robust engineering, the team continues to turn ambitious ideas into permanent installations that inspire and endure.

Our Expertise
A key part of our expertise lies in control systems. We build dynamic, LED solutions that offer pixel‑level control for vivid animations and precise colour management. For projects like the Burnley Tunnel pacemaker lighting (Melbourne) and the Tumbalong Stage (Sydney), we integrated custom software and LEDCTRL hardware to deliver responsive lighting sequences that enhance traffic flow and live performances. We design plug‑and‑play hardware and write custom firmware to streamline installation and simplify operation; for example, the 1 O’Connell Street spire and the Marvel Stadium sky sign both use modular LED neon components cut to length and labelled for rapid assembly. Our team also provides on‑site commissioning, training and ongoing technical support to ensure seamless handover and long‑term success.
We have proven experience across a wide range of applications, including architectural landmarks, large‑scale signage, façade lighting and public art. We reimagined Sydney’s Coca‑Cola sign with 17,880 RGBW pixels controlled via LEDCTRL software, reducing its power consumption by 60 % while enabling dynamic displays for events. At UNO Apartments in Green Square, we supplied and programmed 1,335 individual LED pixel PUX to create a low‑resolution screen that shows moving artwork. For the 49‑storey Vizcayne Towers in Miami, we installed over one kilometre of pixel LED neon, transforming the skyline for the 2020 Super Bowl with custom animations. Each project demonstrates how our mastery of fixtures, control systems and software can turn complex lighting challenges into seamless, innovative solutions.
