Entry DescriptionChurch is a neo-Gothic monument. Careful consideration on placement of new luminaires, the overall façade and positioning surface type wall-mounted uplighters at the corners of columns so that the columns appear as shadow, while walls are lit. Façade lighting was to integrate and enhance the overall layers and elements and also illuminating the stain glass windows lining the clerestory from the interior so that they can be appreciated from outside, while also illuminating the interiors and features sensitively with various scenes from day to night. LED strip and profile were also integrated on the edges of the roof to gently illuminate the upper walls and sloped roof. For the interior, lighting various elements and layers, including introduction of new modern pendants with up and downwards emission on different circuit, so that they can be dimmable and controlled separately. 5 degree beam spotlights were strategically placed opposite side of the stain glass windows to illuminate the stainglass to be seen from outside, without having uncomfortable spill. 4 degree beam spotlights were used mounted on the mezzanine floor to accentuate the levitating Tiny spotlights were also mounted on the top of the columns to uplight the vaults and arches. A simple RGBWW strip were also integrated to respond to the client’s request for flexibility for various scenes on special occasions.
