Bridge lighting projects are an important part of urban lighting projects, which can improve the city's image. For businesses, it can increase the visibility and reputation of the company. This is an external form of advertising. In modern buildings, we can usually see some ancient buildings, commercial buildings, and even some special outdoor signs have been lightened to varying degrees.
So, what are the main aspects of an architectural lighting project?
1. What effect do you want to achieve?
Buildings may have different lighting effects due to different appearances. Or a more unified feeling, or a strong light and shadow change, can be a more or less vivid expression, which is determined by the nature of the building itself.
2. Choose the right light source
The selection of light sources for outdoor lighting projects should consider factors such as light color, color rendering, efficiency, and lifespan. The color of the light is equivalent to the color of the building's outer walls. In general, brick and tan stone are more suitable for warm light, and the light source is a flood light or a wall washer light . White or light-colored marble can be illuminated with cool white light (led point light source) with a higher color temperature, but high pressure sodium lamps can also be used. Nothing is wrong.
3. Calculate the required illuminance value
The lighting required in the construction lighting project mainly depends on the surrounding environment and the color of the building exterior. The suggested illuminance values are for the main facade (main viewing direction). In general, the lighting of the secondary facade is mainly half of the facade, and the three-dimensional appearance of the building can be represented by the different shading of the two faces.
4. On-site adjustment after installation
Field adjustments are absolutely necessary. The computer designed the projection direction of each lamp as a guide only. The illuminance value calculated by the brain is only a reference value. So the adjustments to the scene after each lighting item is installed are actually based on what that person sees.
Urban outdoor lighting projects mainly rely on lighting to create rich landscape effects to reproduce the original environment. People's needs for urban outdoor lighting are divided into three levels: basic functions, sensory information, and spiritual and cultural aesthetic requirements. Correspondingly, urban outdoor lighting is divided into three types: security lighting, functional lighting and landscape lighting. Among them, safety lighting and functional lighting are the basic functions of lighting. Landscape lighting takes into account sensory information and spiritual and cultural aesthetic requirements. It is the creation of visual beauty and brings spiritual pleasure.
