"The lighting design team divided the architectural lighting into three layers: the podium, the mid-section office area, and the top skyline section. The podium area uses 3000K lighting to create a warm and inviting commercial atmosphere, while strictly controlling the lighting height to minimize glare intrusion into the tower. The mid-section office area employs 4000K lighting to shape a grand and dignified nighttime exterior image. The top skyline section combines 4000K lighting with colored lights to define the crown, using bright illumination to prominently highlight the building's landmark status.
Through multiple on-site measurements, the installation angle and shading design of luminaires have been optimized to ensure an optimal balance between the ""visibility"" & ""non-interference"" of architectural lighting. When viewed from the city's main thoroughfares, the building appears brilliantly illuminated, serving as a central highlight of the skyline. Meanwhile, from the surrounding towers, the lighting remains soft and non-glaring, avoiding any disruption to the normal operations and office activities of adjacent buildings.
The lighting system enables ""remote control, zoned adjustment, and scene switching"" of lights. Through the layered interplay of the intelligent lighting system, a dynamic visual spectacle that evolves over time is created. As night falls, the lights ripple like flowing water, displaying distinct characters at different hours—in the early evening, soft, shimmering waves resemble a gentle stream, serene and enchanting; as the night deepens, the interplay of light and shadow surges like a mighty river, powerful and majestic; in the late hours, rhythmic points of light cascade like a starry river, tranquil and profound.
Lighting system is automatically dimmed, retaining only essential illumination in core zones. On weekends and holidays, the system can switch to ""festival mode,"" where gradual color transitions and dynamic lighting combinations create a vibrant celebratory atmosphere. During major events, it can synchronize with the city's lighting system to achieve coordinated light displays between the building and surrounding landmarks, forming a unified nighttime cityscape. This intelligent control not only enhances the convenience of lighting management but also allows flexible adjustments based on actual needs, effectively reducing energy consumption and achieving the design goal of "green lighting."
