Functional white lighting was integrated, as well as a concept using an orange glow emphasize certain areas, particularly on the adventure trail. In addition to lighting the pathways and open spaces, start.design GmbH designed illumination for the antique furnace and developed a consistent concept throughout different areas of the park.
Traxon Wall Washer Shield AC XB-36, and customized Dot XL-6 and Dot XL-9 were chosen to realize this concept, and K. Bellwon Elektrotechnik GmbH was responsible for the installation of the fixtures. Qualified industrial climbers worked at dizzying heights to install the fixtures in the difficult-to-reach spaces of the furnace. Connected to an e:cue Butler XT2, the entire lighting solution can be controlled via a custom Action Pad application for mobile devices.
