Light emitting diodes (LED) in architectural and landscape lighting design

Light emitting diodes are the best variant for the evening and nightly illumination of the buildings, constructions and other territories with       different functions that will organically blend with any landscape and emphasize the most unordinary ideas of the architect. LED can be applied both for the background illumination and for the bright accentual lighting of the buildings, squares, streets and tunnels, architectural compositions, fountains and other objects. Tremendous durability, longevity and high economy of LED make it possible to use it successfully for the illumination of the cities and private landownership. One more indubitable advantage of LED illuminators is its capability of being used with a wide variety of transformers and drivers with direct or alternating voltage.

 

Light emitting diodes market develops rapidly, offering a broad spectrum of illuminators and floodlights literally capable of entouraging transformation and making any object be spectacular and unique and, at the same time, fulfillment of its direct function, consisting of objects and territory illumination.

Here is one of the original projects of effective LED application. The central dome of Vittorio Emmanuel gallery in Milan was decorated for Christmas with electric blue light emitting diodes. The photo represents the central part of the composition, accentuated on the City Emblem, also made of LED garlands. Sparkling glares create an illusion of the construction lightness and reproduce in full measure mysterious festival atmosphere. Watching this marvelous idea of designers it may seem that there are not any lighting elements in front of you, but cascade of diamonds, sparkling in the sky. The second circle of flowing “fringe”, made of yellow light diodes gives a complete look to the to the whole composition.

Street LED-illuminators and LED-spotlights are destined for the illumination of streets, parks, squares, bridges and buildings and let designers realize even the most difficult and unusual light project. They can work in the most inclement climatic conditions, at any weather. They have IP 66 degree of protection and possess high luminous efficacy.

Sidewalk LED-illuminators can be installed to the sidewalk pavement or to the lawn. They are made of shockproof materials, firm against mechanical and atmosphere effects. Mountable sidewalk LED-illuminators serve not only as a source of light, but also as an additional landscape decoration, because a great number of the most various models and diversity of luminescence colors help to create original and interesting illumination, capable of accentuating effectively all the advantages of this or that object or, quite the contrary, hide some small defects of construction. Sidewalk LED-illuminators can be walked on, ridden the bicycle or even driven along.

LED-floodlights are indispensable for the illumination of the administrative buildings, shopping and entertaining centers, casinos, night clubs, cottages and other buildings. Dynamic RGB-illumination is used for the illumination of architectural elements on the fronts, walls, entrance groups of buildings or sculptural compositions. The use of the LED-floodlights makes it possible to create the colored illumination of any plant objects, such as trees, bushes, flower-beds and lawns.

Waterproof Led-illuminators are usually installed for the illumination of fountains, ponds and pools to create an enchanting light and color performance.

A perfect solution for the application of Led-illuminators in the field of landscape design is their use for the illumination of borders, footsteps, paths, small architectural forms and other on-ground elements. If it is needed to create marker illumination of sidewalk or car park territory, architectural and accent lighting of a building, sport ground, recreation area in your favorite garden and many other things, LED-illuminators will become the most efficient, the safest, the most durable and the most spectacular solution
