Artful lighting Light in step with the music This is the first urban Hard Rock Hotel in Spain. Inaugurated last July, near the bustling Atocha station (the first in the capital), it is located in a building constructed in the 1960s that once housed the municipal offices and which has now been completely redeveloped. The result is an exclusive, modern and contemporary hotel in perfect Hard Rock style, dedicated to a business clientèle but also to tourists travelling to explore the capital. Guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, a rooftop with bars and restaurants from which to savour a 360° panoramic view, a gym and, finally, 161 rooms and suites with views over the lights of Madrid or the more private internal garden. All in the name of Madrid’s new way of life. ARTISANAL ROOM LIGHTING At the heart of the famous "Golden Triangle of Art" – with the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Buen Retiro Park all within walking distance – the Hard Rock Hotel in Madrid was built in conjunction with the expansion of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, located opposite at just 200 metres away. In the eyes of those who stay in this hotel, it looks like a concentrate of art and iconic pieces of national and international music, with over 70 pieces of memorabilia including an acoustic guitar that once belonged to the Madrid singer-songwriter Antonio Vega, the blue denim suit worn by Elvis Presley during a television special on NBC in 1968 and even a pair of platform boots worn by David Bowie. Likewise, the rooms feature many references to the world of music and art, all skilfully showcased thanks to a lighting project created by the BMLD studio in collaboration with the Linea Light Group. Vos_RJ is a high-end downlight chosen by the lighting design studio in collaboration with the Linea Light Group team to illuminate all rooms in the hotel. Adjustable for recessed installation, the product (with a total of 1283 pieces used) is characterised by its minimalist design, rendering it suitable for any type of environment. To prevent any glare effect, a honeycomb filter and the colour temperature of 2700 degrees Kelvin have made it possible to achieve soft yet diffused lighting, able to emphasise the walls and exalt the details of the contemporary furniture present within. The result is an elegant, modern and evocative atmosphere, typical of the Hard Rock style.

As early as 2005, LIGHT ON was commissioned to renew the basic lighting of the church interior of the listed church. In the process, the lighting intensity in the choir area was increased, new orchestra lighting was installed and historic original luminaires were extensively restored. In the course of the second refurbishment from 2020, the upper choir area was optimally illuminated by powerful miniature luminaires. A new lighting control system was also installed. The conversion to modern LED lighting technology saved a total of around 16 kW of power. The ULTIMA-S miniature luminaire was chosen for the choir area at the top of the balustrade. With a 25° optic, the richly decorated wall with arcade-like passages from the nave to the choir is optimally staged with a color temperature of 2700 Kelvin.

New lighting highlights the architectural jewels of this emblematic urban park and creates a welcoming nocturnal ambiance, more respectful of the environment Cinquantenaire Park is a national landmark in the city of Brussels, with its esplanade, gardens, museums and Cinquantenaire Arch. Located in the heart of Brussels and the European institutions, it is a much-appreciated green oasis for residents and tourists and various events take place there each year. The lighting in the park which dated from the 1970s had deteriorated, was difficult to service and consuming a lot of energy. Beliris, the contractor authority, wanted to upgrade it with a functional and aesthetical solution that would highlight the heritage and create a new nocturnal ambiance for this public space. In collaboration with the lighting design office Studio Urbanism JP Majot and the contractor VSE, they opted for Schréder lighting solutions to achieve their vision. With a strong experience in enhancing architectural heritage around the world, Schréder supplied LED floodlights from the SCULP range to illuminate the various monuments and sculptures throughout the park including the iconic Cinquantenaire Arch in a respectful and sustainable manner. Subtle and sustainable architectural lighting The compact and elegant SCULPFLOOD floodlights discreetly integrate the façades of the different structures with zero impact on its daytime appearance. The lighting designers decided to use a palette of colour temperatures to create a contrasting light effect. The SCULPFLOOD, fitted with warm white LEDs, illuminates the arches and doorways to accentuate the texture and depth, while SCULPFLOODs, fitted with a tonally complementary, cooler white LED, highlight the architectural details of the statues and the blue stone of the columns. The juxtaposition reveals the intrinsic beauty and communicates the value of its heritage. Urban lighting to revive a popular public space At the same time, Beliris also decided to relight the esplanade and gardens running from Halle Bordiau to the Rotonde. Thy chose the elegant light column, the SHUFFLE, as it harmoniously blends into the environment. It diffuses a soft white light, creating a safe and welcoming nocturnal ambiance that invites residents and tourists to take a break from the bustle of the city and enjoy the facilities after nightfall. All of the luminaires are managed by a lighting control system so that they can be switched on and off according to the seasons and events taking place in the park. Two scenarios have been programmed, one for the evening when the entire park is lit up and one for after midnight and early morning to ensure a safe passage and a good sense of security for people out waking or cycling. This new lighting system with LED technology also: - minimises light pollution; - eliminates glare for passers-by; - creates an engaging environment; - reduces energy consumption by 50%. As Beliris explains, "the new lighting highlights the architecture while combining aesthetics, efficiency and energy savings".
