Building Light Project

In March 2023, our company participated in the building lighting project through bidding. The external outline of the building was outlined through wall washers, and the ground landscape was adjusted by using buried lights and ground lights to make the building shine even at night. Brighten. In addition, all lamps in this project use LED energy-saving light sources, and the lamps on the exterior wall of the building use DMX RGBW, which allows the building to switch between different lighting effects at will.

The building lighting project we supply involves designing and implementing a lighting solution that meets the functional, aesthetic, and energy efficiency requirements of a building. Whether for commercial, residential, or industrial use, a successful lighting project should consider various factors such as space size, lighting types, energy consumption, and the intended atmosphere or ambiance.

Our Lighting Design & Plan

a. Select Lighting Types:

Ambient Lighting: Provides general illumination for the space. Examples include recessed ceiling lights, LED flat panels, and overhead fluorescents.

Task Lighting: Focused lighting for specific activities, such as desk lamps, under-cabinet lights, or reading lights.

Accent Lighting: Adds emphasis to features like artwork, architectural details, or landscaping. It can include spotlights, track lighting, and wall washers. Accent lighting was chosen in this project to highlight the exterior contours of the building or tower.

Decorative Lighting: Enhances the look of the space without necessarily focusing on function. Examples are chandeliers, pendant lights, and other statement fixtures.

b. Calculate Lighting Requirements:

Lumens per square foot: Determine how much light is required for each area (e.g., offices, hallways, kitchens). For example:

Office spaces: 30-50 lumens per square foot.

Hallways: 10-20 lumens per square foot.

Kitchens: 50-75 lumens per square foot.

Lighting layout: Create a detailed layout that places the lights in the optimal locations for even distribution of light. This could include grid calculations for large open spaces or more specific placements for task-focused lighting.

Light Levels (Lux): Specify the required lux level for various tasks in each area. For example:

Offices: 300–500 lux.

Conference rooms: 500–750 lux.

Hallways: 100–300 lux.

c. Choose Light Fixtures:

LED Lights: Highly efficient, long-lasting, and available in various designs (panel lights, downlights, track lights, etc.).

Fluorescent or HID Lights: May be used in areas requiring high-intensity lighting, such as warehouses or garages.

Smart Lighting: Use smart LED systems that integrate with motion sensors, timers, or mobile controls for better energy efficiency.

Decorative Fixtures: Depending on the aesthetic, you might consider chandeliers, pendant lights, or statement lighting for specific areas.

Energy Efficiency & Sustainability

a. Apply Energy-Efficient Lighting

LEDs: Incorporating LEDs into the design ensures energy efficiency, long lifespan, and low maintenance. They consume up to 80% less energy than traditional lighting.

Lighting Controls: Use sensors and timers to automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy or daylight availability.

Daylight Harvesting: Install sensors that adjust the indoor lighting according to the amount of natural light coming in.

Dimming Systems: Implement dimmable systems in areas where light intensity can be adjusted, reducing energy usage when full brightness is unnecessary.

b. Green Certifications & Compliance

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): Consider strategies that contribute to achieving LEED certification, such as using energy-efficient fixtures, reducing light pollution, and minimizing power consumption.

Energy Star: Select lighting products that are Energy Star rated to ensure they meet strict energy efficiency standards

After installation, conduct a full system check to ensure the correct operation of the lighting, including light levels, color temperature, and fixture orientation.

Adjust settings for dimmers, timers, and motion sensors as needed.
