Realdania lit in red for Copenhagen Culture Night
- Details
“We used SGM’s LED tubes for the square in front of the building and the P-5 in the atrium behind the building to illuminate trees, bushes etc. But the fun and challenging one was definitely the huge facade on the tall building,” said Holst.
The annual Culture Night in Copenhagen attracts participation from more than 230 museums, theatres, libraries, churches, ministries, and parks.
“On this evening, there are so many activities all around Copenhagen. Therefore, we really had to make the building stand out; creating a spectacle that drew people's attention,” explained Holst, who lit Realdania in their logo-colour red.
Realdania is a philanthropic association established in year 2000 to provide financial support to projects initiated to improve quality of life and make a noticeable difference for the people in Denmark.
“What we really focused on, was finding the correct lenses to get an evenly lit up surface on this very tall building, with the same lumen at both the bottom and the top. As we had to place the fixtures extremely close to the building, we had to shoot vertical up the facade. SGM’s Q-7s and P-5s with different lenses enabled us to create an even illumination all the way up to the top of the building,” said Holst.
