LED fixtures, reliability and professional support bring out beautiful details of a neoclassical Italian palace.
.
As part of the renovation of a six-story palatial building in the heart of Milan the lighting of its neoclassical façade was to receive a makeover. OSRAM DS LINEARlight Rigid FINESSE proved to be the best option for the cornice, the top floor and the loft.
The Diaco Building on Corso Buenos Aires in the heart of Milan is an impressive neoclassical palace. The renovation of the representative office building at the beginning of 2022 also included the installation of new façade lighting. This lighting installation offered an ideal solution for the special design requirements – mainly thanks to the exceptional ability to understand and implement customer needs, confirming the products and the technical support reliability.
The lighting designers had clear requirements for lighting the upper façade area. In line with their design concept and the other lighting elements of the palace, a color rendering index of CRI 80 and a colour temperature between 3000K and 3500K had to be achieved. The protection of light sources, drivers and connectors against weather conditions was just as important. And, of course, energy efficiency also needed to be appropriate to our times. Out of its wide product range, LINEARlight Rigid FINESSE was the perfect innovative LED product meeting all these requirements.
However, suitable product data alone is often not enough to find the ideal lighting solution. That’s why OSRAM DS field service personnel worked closely with the experts from Hi-Lite Next lighting designers. Considering the building and its location, the lighting designers’ expectations were discussed at site; this gave both sides a clear idea of the desired result and implementation options.
This close cooperation ultimately led to abandoning the original idea of using flexible LED strips. Instead, LINEARlight Rigid FINESSE LED luminaires were chosen. And for good reason: the flexible LED strips produced luminous flux at too wide an angle which would have illuminated the surroundings too much. The 30° lenses of the rigid module, on the other hand, produce the right luminous flux, focused exactly where it should be.
The perfectly matched products ultimately used for lighting the cornice, top floor and loft were IP protected LINEARlight Rigid FINESSE Protect in different lengths. They are linked by IP68-protected connectors and are controlled by extremely efficient OPTOTRONIC FIT LED drivers with 300W output and IP67 protection. The result is impressive and turns the building on Corso Buenos Aires into an eye-catcher night after night.
