Entry DescriptionThis project is located in Xi'an high-tech industrial development zone, is a night scene lighting construction concentrated area, about 22 square kilometers.
In the past ten years, there have been a lot of lighting construction in this area, but there are many problems, such as some lamps have serious glare, color and dynamic disorder, and the media facade picture is boring. The lighting in the area cannot be controlled uniformly and is difficult to manage. In this regard, the project is designed in the following three aspects.
1.In order to make the overall night scene of the building complex harmonious, the design turns off some lamps in the building to improve the effect. Upgrade and compatible with the original 10 kinds of weak current control systems and 3 types of communication protocols, to achieve integrated management.
2.The design combines modern digital technology with Xi 'an cultural heritage and is reflected on the media facade, which can meet the night landscape needs of large-scale urban events.

Energy saving: All lamps use environmentally friendly and durable LED light sources. Sub-mode control, energy saving, after the completion of the project, such as CBD area (project core area) electricity saving of nearly 40%.
Comprehensive design: In order to guide the lighting design, the team first evaluated the lighting from seven aspects: night safety, urban vitality, diversity and inclusiveness, night life comfort, night city characteristics, ecological livable, and social satisfaction.
