Our brief was to create amenity lighting that was not only beautiful but also sympathetic to the natural environment and aligned with the energy conservation values of the client. We delivered highly localised lighting that gently illuminates the portion of the path where people are walking.
By integrating an array of sensors (installed as part of the Building Management System) and installing individually controllable linear LED, the light responds beautifully to the presence of people and brings an artistic quality to what could otherwise be rather utilitarian. Rather than treating sensors and lights as discrete units, we leverage granular dimming control of thousands of individual LEDs to create animated waves of light that move with people.
