Entry DescriptionArchitectural facade lighting is based on the concept of"Sky City."It uses light to simulate natural clouds and seas.IP boxes serve as focal points, extending to the facades,creating a dreamy experience of walking above the sky.The iconic IP box is composed of approximately 4,750 square aluminum panels,and the randomly generated color patterns on the facade create a textured feel.The lighting uses a color temperature of 4000K to match the color panels,creating a light and airy appearance at night.Each panel is equipped with an LED luminaire,which coupled with media content control,presents a low-pixel two-dimensional animation style.This unique presentation style stands out in high-definition night scenes,and the mosaic combination of two-dimensional animations adds artistry and topics.To achieve this effect,the lighting is tailored to each panel in terms of light placement.Two types of luminaires with lengths of 450mm and 150mm are used with a light emission angle of 40°,controlling the light to stay on the panel surface and avoid affecting other panels.The luminaires have built-in DMX decoding IC, which can be expanded to 4096 channels. The luminaires also have a constant current IC to ensure consistent brightness when the luminaires are connected in series. "T" type power supply is used to reduce half of the construction work and control construction costs.
