Light Installations
↑
Why light installations?
We believe in the fascination of moving light. It creates centres of emotional attraction both indoors and outdoors.
What exactly are light installations?
A large number of luminous elements react interactively to visitors and display patterns generated in real time or specifically programmed works of art.
How do we develop lighting installations?
To develope our complex light installations we design, test, build, programme and create.
We have realised light installations for
different contexts:
Novartis Pavillon
Double-sided LEDs Embedded in Photovoltaic Panels
- 15,120 double-sided LED lights
- Each light with a total of 18W maximum output: 7 LEDs shine inwards onto the building envelope, 7 LEDs outwards
- Special optics bundle light and optimise colour mixing
- With the help of sensors: Brightness and gamma values of the LEDs are dynamically adjusted to the surrounding brightness
- A total of over 65,000 brightness levels for each colour channel (16-bit)
- Energy efficiency: non-active LEDs are switched to deep sleep mode
- Prototypes of the LED modules including outdoor long-term tests and tests in our climate chamber
Schindler Escalator Experience
Luminous Wall Panelling
- Staged escalator ride: light and sound installation
- Sensor activates media technology on entry
- 428 individually controllable LED panels behind Corian on each side
- LED panels with 16bit resolution.
- Signal distribution: DMX splitter for 4 universes
- Package of 480 values per universe
- Specially developed framework for light displays based on vvvv
Schindler CityLights
Subtle Play of Light in the Foyer of the Company Headquarters
- 210 OLEDs on 47 hanging stacks
- With real-time editor: light patterns are programmed and visualised
- During the day, eight different 3D light patterns move through the three-dimensional luminaire
- Luminaire reacts to the movement of human bodies in the foyer, reflecting life in the building
Merck Light Cloud
Interactive Light and Sound Installation
- 576 double-sided OLED tiles with integrated heat sink
- Each OLED tile can be controlled separately on both sides with 65535 brightness levels
- 42 sensors distributed throughout the room for interactive response to visitors
- 18 variable and combinable effects: 85 different modes
- Cabling for OLEDs integrated in curved rods with 3D free-form design
- Real-time visualisation simplifies the design of the lighting effects
Britischen Pavillon Expo 2017
Interactively Illuminating Spokes with RGBW-LEDs
- Yurt made of 200 radially arranged acrylic glass spokes
- Local sensor and controller on each slat recognises touch and activates RGBW LEDs
- Sensor antenna embedded in milled groove in the acrylic slats using special tools
- Entire slat lights up as LEDs embedded in the hollow base shine upwards
- Also available: centralised control for all slats via computer
flokk
An Open and Responsive Light Platform
- Electronics between 2 OLEDs: double-sided lighting thanks to very flat design
- Development of driver electronics for continuous dimming of the OLEDs from 0-100% brightness
- Various sensors on the electronics enable interaction with visitors
- Luminaires can react to each other, to environmental influences and to internet data
- Luminaires are connected via wifi
Stadtpark Uster
Interactive Outdoor Lighting
- In each luminaire: three independently controllable lighting circuits with different optics and beam characteristics
- Visual effect: ascending light dimming in the luminaire body
- Interactivity: radar sensors recognise the movements of park visitors
- Wireless mesh network of the luminaires enables swarm behaviour
- Sensors in the casing measure temperature, air pressure and humidity
- Status is monitored via remote access
