The annual Fête des Lumieres in Lyon has grown to become a significant urban lighting event. An important part of the 2015 celebrations was a new lighting design for the municipal library.
Lighting designers Guillaume Jeol and Atelier Roland Jeol worked with Pharos partner Soliled to light the building
A Pharos LPC 4 was used to give the library a specific identity through the use of custom and sustainable lighting
386m of LED linear luminaires, 123 fluorescent tubes and LED fixtures are controlled wirelessly to enable activation by photocells to automatically turn on when darkness falls, with a resulting 80% increase in efficiency levels
All fixtures are totally integrated into the building’s structure and facades, and no fixtures are directed towards the sky to prevent lighting pollution
