Fascinating and respectful: OSRAM DS LINEARlight FLEX Diffuse to provide public lighting accentuating furniture and greenery at Athens Nimfon Square.
.
In Vouliagmeni, an Athens seaside suburb, the central Nimfon Square needed to be redesigned with the aim of creating a place to relax for residents and visitors. The central idea of the lighting designers was to illuminate the numerous benches and handrails on the square, combining high visual comfort with a great atmosphere. The IP67-protected OSRAM DS LINEARlight FLEX Diffuse LED strips together with OPTOTRONIC OTi DALI 210 Protect LED drivers were the right solution for this.
.
For the sidewalks and the busy pedestrian crossings on the periphery of the Square, the lighting designers created a continuous and safe environment using a minimalist lighting mast system. On the Square itself, they wanted to create a welcoming atmosphere despite the functional nature of the space. The design involved accentuating the new forms and structures of the Square and highlighting the trees, without impacting on the wildlife and on the natural scenery.
To ensure visual comfort and good visibility, the lighting designer from DANILOF light + perception decided not to use direct lighting above hip height at the center of the square. Instead, the numerous semi-circular benches and handrails were accentuated.
However, this put special demands on the components. Achieving the desired inviting effect required excellent quality of light (CRI 90) in a warm light color (3,000–3,500 K). At the same time, the LED strips had to be flexible, precisely cuttable to the required length and easy to install. In the end, the robust LINEARlight FLEX Diffuse LED strips fitted these strict specifications to a tee. They’re perfect for outdoor use, offer high product quality, a seven-year guarantee and short delivery times.

OSRAM DS OTi DALI 210 Protect LED drivers perfectly complement the LINEARlight FLEX Diffuse Protect LED strips at Nimfon Square in Vouliagmeni. The IP67-protected multi-channel drivers are resistant to salt water and can handle direct sunlight. This makes them perfect for the Mediterranean square near the sea. Last but not least, the drivers also impressed the project managers because of their 100% compatibility with the LED strips, long life and high reliability. They found everything they needed for their project in OSRAM DS’s range. But what was even more crucial was the support they received during the project – a great overall package from the first sample and mock-ups all the way to help with implementation.
In addition to accentuating benches and handrails with LINEARlight FLEX, the evening lighting brings out selected trees. Since the redesign, locals and holidaymakers alike have enjoyed staying on Nimfon Square until late in the evening.
