A new Anolis LED landscape lighting project has been completed in the newly renovated Town Point Park in the heart of the city of Norfolk, Virginia, US.
The 2.8 acre waterfront park has been regenerated by the City of Norfolk in a project aimed at enhancing the experience of visitors and residents. The park was closed during the nine month renovation project, which was completed in July 2009.
The park is the home of frequent festivals, local events, and concerts produced by the city's event planning organisation, Norfolk FestEvents.
The City of Norfolk called in local lighting experts, Blue Steel Lighting Design from Virginia Beach, to design and implement a landscape lighting project for the park.
Bluesteel created a blueprint for the project, then specified the Anolis ArcSource Inground 12 RGB LED fixtures and called on the installation expertise of Stage Right Lighting, also from Virginia Beach, to engineer all the project's technical aspects.
When it came to selecting the LEDs, Anolis was chosen for its high efficiency output, low power consumption and easy maintenance.
The city began with the idea and the budget to up-light just 20 trees with a single light each. However, they were apparently so impressed by the initial tests that they found additional funds to illuminate 83 trees, each with 2 lights. In total, 166 Anolis ArcSource Inground 12 RGB fixtures were used.
At sunset every day the lights are activated and the 83 trees are illuminated. The LEDs scroll slowly through multiple colours, running through various pre-programmed sequences.
During the festival and concert season, when the park is filled with music and people, the landscape lighting again enhances the energy and mood of the green space, with a simple and easy program adjustment.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
