Planning examples

On the basis of our empirical values and the suggestions of architects and planners, we have compiled room situations for which lighting design is frequently required. In the following, we shall present possible illumination solutions for these architectural situations. It goes without saying that all technical lighting standards are complied with. In some cases, the degree of illuminance proposed by us may even exceed the standard. For us, the aesthetics of light and a high level of visual comfort are important criteria for such decisions. At the same time, the form and the size of the luminaires must fit into the architectural surroundings. For example, we often recommend larger models if a structure has large dimensions – even if smaller luminaires with lower output would be enough. In such cases, the degree of illuminance can be reduced to a suitable level by means of a light control system.

Bridge

Bridges are architectural landmarks which leave a lasting impression of a city. The illumination of bridges is thus of particular significance. Through the accentuation of its striking form, the structure also has an effect at night and, at the same time, can clearly be identified as a point of orientation. The floodlights used are fitted with shields and louvres to prevent undesired stray light...

Pedestrian subway

A pedestrian subway between two building complexes should correspond to the style of the building architecture. In this case it is open, light architecture, which corresponds to daylight on account of large glass surfaces. This light effect should also be achieved in the underground connection. A graphic arrangement of wall luminaires with light emission on two sides thus accompanies the visitors...
