The World of Experience and Light welcomes guests in fascinating light
The joint project of the Sächsische Staatsbäder GmbH and the Chursächsische Veranstaltungsgesellschaft will be initiated on Saturday, 9 October 2021 at the start of twilight and the shining of the new World of Lights in the Royal Gardens and will then be accessible free of charge every day, 365 days a year.
The requirements for lighting control
Seebacher GmbH was responsible for programming and manufacturing the complete lighting control system for the outdoor areas. The challenge here was the size of the area - it extends over a length of approx. 2 kilometres. Furthermore, the customer wanted to be able to control all event areas both centrally and decentrally. For example, the open-air theatre or the music pavilion should be able to be disconnected from the control system during events. This way, the show's own scenes can run during events, while the defined lighting scenes for paths and accent lighting take effect during everyday use.
During the two-year installation phase, which proceeded in close coordination with planners, electrical planning and lighting planning, the top priority was: the system must be capable of real feedback at all times, for example in the case of failure of pathway lighting sections, etc.
Highlights such as the imposing forest fountain were equipped with LED lighting, like largely everything in the outdoor area in the low-voltage range, as animals and humans can potentially come into contact with the installation here.
In addition, the problem of light pollution - i.e. negative effects on the environment caused by artificial light - was taken into account from the very beginning. Above all, with the use of gentle technology, a rather soft lighting intensity and a limited period of use until midnight, reasonable measures were taken to treat the natural environment with care.
