Landmark buildings carry the wind, frost, rain and snow that a city has experienced, which best reflects its style and charm. In modern society, landmark buildings are not only signs of humanity and history, but also an important part of urban landscape lighting. Relevant government departments attach great importance to the maintenance of landmark buildings and the upgrading and transformation of related supporting facilities.
Based on this, landscape lighting product and service providers can only enter the landmark building landscape lighting supplier list after they meet certain standards in core product capabilities, product innovation capabilities, product environmental friendliness, and company resource coordination capabilities. .
Signify, with its comprehensive advantages in technology, supply chain, and sales network, has now become the trusted choice for landscape lighting and upgrading of landmark buildings in many places.
It is reported that Signify is committed to unlocking the extraordinary potential of lighting, continuously extending products and services, and in the past completed the completion of the core area of the historical buildings on the Bund in Shanghai, the Monument to the People's Heroes on the Bund, the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the two banks of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. The landscape lighting upgrade and renovation project of multiple landmark buildings brings an excellent product portfolio and service for the landscape lighting and upgrade of multiple core landmarks.
Innovative lighting technology, Signify adds charm to red landmarks
As a global lighting company that has been at the top of the industry for more than 100 years, Signify adheres to the principle of "open innovation" and establishes partnerships with world-class universities, research institutions and startup companies, bringing many breakthroughs to the industry Innovations and surprises.
Signify's "innovation" gene is vividly reflected in the two projects, the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and the People's Heroes Memorial Tower. It is reported that both of the above two projects were completed in July this year. Signify has reshaped the unique charm of red landmark buildings through innovative product portfolios, and helped the two red venues to make new appearances. At the perfect time node, it is a tribute to the party's centuries. Birthday.
1. Site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China
The site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China) is an old-style Shikumen residential building with a brick-wood structure along the street, one bottom and one floor. As the birthplace of the Communist Party of China, the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was listed by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 1961 and was selected as the "first batch of 20th century architectural heritage in China" in September 2016.

In this lighting renovation project, Signify focused on the characteristic parts of the building's facade and door head, and cleverly reshaped the unique charm of the "big" meeting site through lighting.
In addition, without affecting the architectural style, the Signify project team also made full use of the existing two poles, specially customized Philips LED linear floodlights, and adopted a special horizontally stretched rectangular light distribution design to reduce the road surface Spilled light greatly improves the uniformity of illuminance on the facade of the "big" meeting site, strengthens glare control, strengthens the level of lighting, and improves the recognition of buildings at night.
2. People's Heroes Memorial Tower
The People's Heroes Memorial Tower is a monumental building built in memory of the revolutionary martyrs who gave their lives for the liberation of Shanghai since 1840.
In order to better highlight the majesty and grandeur of the Monument to the People's Heroes and inherit the immortal revolutionary spirit of the martyrs, Signify chose high-quality CK ColorReach floodlights and CK ColorGraze linear wall washers in this renovation project. Because of the irregular shape of the tower, Signify also installed a high-power CK ColorReach floodlight, and designed three beam angle combinations. Its precise optical control and professional color management technology can evenly illuminate the towering tower. Body, showing an excellent red lighting effect.

The CK ColorGraze linear wall washer is used for uniform lighting under the observation deck of the monument. Its asymmetric optical design and professional color management technology can achieve perfect color presentation and reflect the unique beauty of the building. At the same time, the red light can perfectly match the three different light modes, welcoming the centennial of the founding of the party with a brand new look.
In addition, because the memorial tower is located on the bank of the Huangpu River, it is always in a humid environment and exposed to wind, sun and rain, which requires extremely high lighting. Therefore, the CK lamps selected by Signify have a high level of protection, reliable quality, and help the project perfectly present the lighting effects.
Landscape and environmental protection go hand in hand, Signify promotes intelligent upgrade of landscape lighting
As early as March 2019, Signify had announced the completion of the lighting renovation project for the core area of the historical buildings on the Bund in Shanghai. This project fully embodies Signify's environmental protection concept and intelligent lighting management. ability.
As the iconic landscape of Shanghai, the night view of the Bund has been famous at home and abroad for many years. Signify has carried out a comprehensive upgrade and renovation of the Bund landscape lighting this time, interpreting the century-old Bund story with lights, further exploring and enhancing the cultural and tourism value of the region, presenting a brand new "Night Shanghai" and city name card to the public, while reducing energy Consumption and operation and maintenance costs.
Before the lighting renovation, the Bund building complex used sodium lamps that produced visible light through sodium vapor discharge, with golden white as the main color, but there were problems such as light color tone and uneven brightness, which could not form a coordinated and coherent lighting effect. At the same time, because the volume of sodium lamps is generally too large, it also has a certain impact on the appearance of the building.
Therefore, in terms of lighting effects, Signify worked with a number of design units to formulate targeted lighting renovation plans for the Bund lighting, including CK ColorReach floodlights, eW Reach floodlights, Philips UniStrip line lights and Philips UniFlood floodlights. The lamp is the main lamp type. Nearly 10,000 high-performance LED lamps are used in the main Bund to replace the original sodium lamps. The color scheme uses a dual-color temperature scheme to retain the overall classic hue of the Bund. Among them, 23 buildings use adjustable white LED facade lighting to unify the lighting color of the building. The details of the building's cornice and carvings are also added. Light embellishment.
At the same time, Signify also uses the Interact intelligent interconnected lighting system to set three modes for the Bund lighting: weekday mode, holiday mode and late night mode. The Interact intelligent interconnected lighting system is perfectly compatible with the existing centralized control platform of the Bund landscape lights. The lighting effects of the building facade can be adjusted according to the needs to better show the overall style of the building. It can also create dynamics during holidays and major occasions. The light show gives the Bund a more modern dynamic rhythm and ignites the technological style of the new era for traditional buildings. The transformed lighting can adjust the color temperature point by point accurately, and the texture of the building is vividly displayed.
In order to better present the night scene of the Bund, Shanghai began to develop landscape lighting on a large scale as early as 1989. It was the first to introduce high-power gas discharge lamps for flood lighting in the Bund, replacing the previous method of contour lighting with incandescent lamps. With the development of the times and the increasing importance of the concept of sustainable development, reducing the energy consumption of landscape lighting has also become a major assessment standard for lighting renovation projects.
Therefore, in terms of energy saving, Signify uses more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly Philips LED lamps to replace the high-power sodium lamps originally used on the Bund landscape platform. It can be seen that while Signify uses light to enhance the landscape of landmark buildings, it is also continuously reducing lighting energy consumption, helping operators reduce operation and maintenance costs, and practicing energy conservation and environmental protection.
Practice environmental protection and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
In fact, Signify is actively calling for the transition to high-efficiency and energy-saving smart interconnected LED lighting around the world. Specifically in the field of landscape lighting, in order to better achieve this goal, Signify successively acquired Lei Ming Technology, a manufacturer of urban landscape and building facade lighting and control systems, and WiZ smart interconnected lighting based on Wi-Fi technology. WiZ Connected, the developer of the system, and Cooper Lighting, a leading supplier in the fields of professional lighting, lighting control and smart connected lighting, etc.
In terms of performance, Signify achieved sales of 1.643 billion euros in the third quarter of 2021 due to factors such as global supply chain disruptions. The sales of LED-based products accounted for 83 percent of total sales year-on-year. This This means that the penetration rate of Signify's LED energy-saving technology has been further improved, and energy consumption has also been further reduced.
Signify believes that light is not only a lighting tool to dispel darkness, but also a medium for creating a better life experience, and a way to appreciate different styles. Based on this, Signify's exploration of light has never stopped. In the future, Signify will take advantage of the trend of the times, continue to innovate, explore the extraordinary potential of the lighting field, and use the energy of "light" to empower more landmark buildings .
