How to light up a building façade, solutions and technologies to use
Building and façade lighting is the most interesting junction between architecture, design and lighting technology. The goal of these projects rarely stops at simple lighting. It rather focuses on enhancing the structure, shapes and details, strengthening its identity and memory. Clearly, defining the intervention aims is the first topic to be carefully studied to ensure a correct choice of solutions and technologies to be applied, including light sources, power supplies, optics and control technologies.
Thanks to new lighting control and management technologies, indeed, using dynamic and intelligent scenarios guarantees the development of solutions with a relevant, tailor-made and sustainable emotional impact.
The latest generation LED solutions guarantee high quality luminous fluxes, energy efficiency, excellent reliability, durability and wide colour variety, often presenting complete and diversified product families.
Reliability and durability are features directly linked to manufacturers. It is, therefore, necessary to rely on companies able to develop innovative solutions, with structured research and development programs, efficient production lines and excellent support. Digimax has been collaborating for over 30 years with experienced suppliers to promptly and precisely respond to the international market’s demands.
Quality and efficiency are the other side of the coin of reliability and durability, being significant features in the development of high-level lighting projects, where the search for design solutions is central.
An outdoor lighting system must be consciously designed, starting from the power supply. The use of drivers and power supplies compatible with the main control protocols (DALI, DMX, Modbus, Casambi, ProtoPixel) allows perfect integration with wireless or centralised light management systems.
The use of LED dimmers and control units allows the user to manage the light control in an optimal and structured way, through lightplays, scenarios and personalised adjustments. Adjusting the intensity depending on the time or weather conditions, adapting the lighting in real time to events or holidays, and programming the lighting of entire projects directly in the app will thus be easy and intuitive.
NEON strips and outdoor LED spotlights are the main lighting fixtures used to bring light to façades and buildings in general, and to fully perform their task, they must meet certain technical features:
Digimax headquarters is now featured by a lively, dynamic and distinctive design, thanks to a tailor-made LED architectural lighting project. An intervention designed to grant the building personality and visibility, with a mix of technology, creativity and advanced control, was the installation key ingredient.
Chosen products:
Light is discreetly but strategically integrated into the architectural structure to emphasise its shapes without distorting them, visibly enhancing their design.
