Entry Description

The Basilica Santa Teresinha do Menino Jesus, heritage listed in 2003, with Roman style has about 550 m2 and , needed to value the architecture, and to increase the illuminance.
With retrofit and placement of LED Profiles, it was possible to highlight the architecture and create uniformity in lighting, with significant savings in energy consumption.
The new 3000 K lighting, consisting of direct and indirect light, achieves an average level of illuminance in the assembly between 180 and 250 lux and in the presbytery from 200 to 350 lux, and has excellent flexibility for the composition of scenes.
The set of modifications, with discreet facilities, versatility and economy, generates the visual comfort in the performance of the liturgies, and the feeling of comfort for prayers in the intermediate hours, thus guaranteeing the beauty and practicality of the project.
