Urban <strong>area</strong>s<br />
<strong>Light</strong><strong>in</strong>g urban features has become a central<br />
plann<strong>in</strong>g project for city developers and light<strong>in</strong>g<br />
designers. Turn<strong>in</strong>g places <strong>in</strong>to an experience<br />
through <strong>the</strong> use of light and giv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m a new<br />
dimension of attractiveness is one of <strong>the</strong> key<br />
concerns focused on <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> light master plans<br />
or <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual projects of many communities.<br />
A prerequisite is sufficient, glare-free ambient<br />
light<strong>in</strong>g. With this <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d, <strong>the</strong> discussion may<br />
concentrate on qualitative aspects, <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>d<br />
of atmosphere to be created through light<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Squares become visible after dark through vertical<br />
light<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> walls provided by washlight<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Alternatively, <strong>the</strong> facades may be ba<strong>the</strong>d <strong>in</strong><br />
a light that appropriately underl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>the</strong> architectural<br />
characteristics of <strong>the</strong> structures. Accent<br />
light<strong>in</strong>g highlights specific details on <strong>the</strong> square<br />
or <strong>the</strong> facades. An <strong>in</strong>conspicuous design and<br />
carefully chosen mount<strong>in</strong>g locations prevent<br />
<strong>the</strong> lum<strong>in</strong>aires from disrupt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> scene dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> day. A well-coord<strong>in</strong>ated light<strong>in</strong>g concept<br />
for <strong>the</strong> facades surround<strong>in</strong>g a square is <strong>the</strong> basis<br />
for <strong>the</strong> implementation of a tightly controlled<br />
light<strong>in</strong>g design.<br />
Parscoop floodlights<br />
are versatile: po<strong>in</strong>ted<br />
down, <strong>the</strong>y illum<strong>in</strong>ate<br />
large <strong>area</strong>s. Mounted<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir cover glass<br />
po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g up, <strong>the</strong>y illum<strong>in</strong>ate<br />
ceil<strong>in</strong>gs to emphasise<br />
<strong>the</strong> height while <strong>the</strong>y<br />
emit glare-free, soft light<br />
downwards through <strong>the</strong><br />
diffuse reflection.<br />
Tesis wallwashers with<br />
special light<strong>in</strong>g technology<br />
provide a highly<br />
uniform light distribution.<br />
Their design, which<br />
allows <strong>the</strong>m to project<br />
slightly above <strong>the</strong> mount<strong>in</strong>g<br />
plane, results <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />
emitt<strong>in</strong>g light beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
right at <strong>the</strong> mount<strong>in</strong>g<br />
plane.<br />
Beamer projectors are<br />
ideal for accentuat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
objects. Available <strong>in</strong> different<br />
versions with base<br />
or mount<strong>in</strong>g plate and<br />
with accessories, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
allow for many mount<strong>in</strong>g<br />
options.<br />
Tesis recessed <strong>in</strong>-ground<br />
lum<strong>in</strong>aires provide different<br />
light distributions<br />
from both <strong>the</strong> round and<br />
square hous<strong>in</strong>g forms.<br />
Consistently discreet <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir appearance and<br />
with a high level of visual<br />
comfort, <strong>the</strong>y are ideal for<br />
creat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
varied light<strong>in</strong>g concepts.<br />
