Statue Lighting Design

What is the importance of statue lighting

The lighting design of the landscape statue is based on the premise that it does not affect the pattern, form, color and material of the statue itself. It shows the shape of the statue as much as possible and is coordinated with the surrounding statues. It not only has the function of lighting, but also has the functions of art decoration and landscaping. A well-lit landscape is necessary to enhance the entertainment function, safety and landscaping of the area. An excellent landscape statue lighting must have a specific meaning. The lighting quality represents or identifies specific people and specific events. Of course, it must be inseparable from a specific historical background and environment. The statue should have architectural characteristics. It should be integrated with the environment and architecture.

Statue lighting standards / what are the main points

Statue Lighting Standard

When designing the statue lighting, it should fully consider the many aspects that do not affect the shape, pattern, color, and material of the statue itself, fully display its form beauty, and coordinate with the surrounding landscape. The lighting should be based on the characteristics of the statue, especially for key parts such as the top expression, the color of the materials and the surrounding landscape. The side should be used to project light from the top to the bottom, and it should not be evenly illuminated from the front. effect. Statue lighting mainly uses narrow-beam floodlights to install floodlights on the ground or underground. The choice of lighting points depends on the type of subject, the purpose is to illuminate the entire statue, relying on the difference between light and shadow and brightness to shape it and The body is displayed. Drive the direction of sight of the visitors to prevent glare. Generally speaking, statues can be simply divided into two types: three-dimensional and two-dimensional. The three-dimensional statue should be considered for its multi-angle in the lighting arrangement, such as the statue structure. The two-dimensional statues, such as King Wall Stele, have only one appreciation angle.

Statue lighting requirements

Appears in the design of statue lighting: the most frequent hard landscape is various forms of statues, statues and signs in the garden, one type is ornamental, and the other is monumental, such as stone monuments, landscape walls, statues Wait. When illuminating it, full consideration should be given to many aspects that do not affect the shape, pattern, color, and material of the statue itself, show its beautiful appearance, and coordinate with the surrounding landscape. The lighting should start from the characteristics of the statue (such as the head, demeanor, materials, color and surrounding landscape, etc.), and use the side to project light from top to bottom.It should not be uniformly illuminated from the front. Lighting effect. The statue lighting mainly uses floodlights.

The floodlights are installed on the ground or underground. The choice of lighting points depends on the type of subject. The purpose is to illuminate the whole of the statue, but not evenly. The skill of the statue’s lighting design is to rely on the light and shadow and the brightness difference of each part to highlight its shape and body, but also to avoid the direction of the people’s sight. Prevent glare from disturbing people. Regarding the design of the lamp position, the following three requirements should be met: the first is to ensure the need for lighting projection, the second is to hide as much as possible, and the third is to avoid glare. Low statues generally use wide-beam floodlights; tall statues require narrow-beam floodlights. The installation position can use underground lights and peripheral high-pole light projection, or the installation of small spotlights in the statue structure belt, and pay attention to the concealment of the lamps during the installation process.

Essentials for statue lighting design

Lighting Design The best lighting design for landscape statues is front light. The orientation of the front side light should generally be greater than 50 degrees, and less than 60 degrees is most suitable. Landscape statue lighting design should avoid several situations:

1.Avoid strong pitching light, including direct light and direct light, especially strong direct light with almost equal intensity. This strong light not only destroys the image, but also may cause a sense of terror.

2.Avoid light, which is also a kind of positive light, it will make the statue lose three-dimensional sense.

3.Avoid the side light of the rabbit, which leads to the bad visual effect of “yin and yang face”.

Statue Lighting Design Principles

Statue lighting is not simply the use of lights to illuminate objects, simple superposition of different elements on top of each other, but the artistic re-creation of lights. It takes statues as the main body, uses lighting technology to express the night space art of statues, and uses high-quality lighting. The artistic expressive force makes the landscape of the residential area reach the ideal mood. The statue is perfect and artistic.

people oriented

All night scene environment design and reconstruction are for people, so people-oriented, especially the residential community statues, should be from the perspective of residents’ comfort, and adapt to people’s daily habits. We must not blindly pursue aesthetics and artistic modeling while ignoring the impact on people’s daily life. The focus is prominent. The lighting design of the primary and secondary statues should have a focus, that is, a theme. It can’t be bright and bright everywhere, so it can not only beautify the environment, but also cause problems such as light pollution. Therefore, the design plan of the statue should be divided into primary and secondary. To pass the virtual and solid contrast, the prominent parts need to be reasonably brightened. Add it so that you can achieve the perfect night lighting effect.

Energy saving and environmental protection

In the design of statue lighting, green lighting should be used as the concept, reasonable lighting and lamp selection, and new energy-saving, low-carbon new light source products can be used to effectively solve the problem of energy waste and light pollution, thereby improving the living environment and the quality of lighting.

Varying forms, highlighting art

The lighting design can enrich the nighttime environment, and the design cannot be repeated a thousand times, otherwise it will look tedious. Therefore, no matter in the color or the shape of the lamps, we must be original and creative. At the same time without affecting the overall effect, multiple forms are combined with each other, complementing each other and reflecting each other, perfectly combining function and art. Statue lighting includes park square statue lighting, road statue lighting, ancient building statue lighting, residential community statue lighting, and tourist area statue lighting.

Statue lighting and lamp design

The lighting design of the statue mainly adopts the narrow beam flood lighting design method. The LED flood light is installed on the ground. The choice of the focus of the lighting depends on the type and appearance characteristics of the illuminated statue. The whole of the statue, but the lighting should not be uniform. The skill of the statue’s lighting design is to rely on the light and shadow and the brightness difference of each part to highlight its shape and body. Produce interference. Regarding the design of the lamp position, the following three requirements should be met: the first is to ensure the need for lighting projection, the second is to hide as much as possible, and the third is to avoid glare. Low statues generally use wide-beam floodlights; tall statues require narrow-beam floodlights.

Lighting arrangement

Multi-angles, such as three-dimensional statues and structures, should be considered when lighting is arranged. The light should be illuminated from different directions with a certain change to form a basic light and dark contrast and highlight the three-dimensional impression. Multi-view angles provide a wide selection of statues for the creation of night scenes, and can create different visual effects in different positions in the lighting design. Regardless of whether it is a three-dimensional statue or a two-dimensional statue, the brightness of the illuminated object should be reasonably determined, and the appropriate contrast with the background brightness should be maintained, and the lighting scheme and lighting method should be determined according to the statue’s subject, body shape, and the reflective characteristics of the surface material.

Disadvantages of traditional statue lighting

1.Mercury pollution:

The traditional fluorescent lamp contains a large amount of mercury vapor. If the broken mercury vapor of the capsule is evaporated into the atmosphere. create pollution.

2.Low luminous efficiency:

For traditional lamps, the luminous efficiency of incandescent lamps is about 15%, and the luminous efficiency of fluorescent lamps is about 50%. Low luminous efficiency. In other words, traditional lamps will waste a lot of heat. Noise pollution: We all know that fluorescent tubes, start-up will produce amazing current sound during use

3.Traditional lighting flashes seriously:

The flicker of traditional lights is serious: traditional fluorescent lamps use alternating current, so clock per second will produce 100-120 times of strobe. Hurt the eyes.

4.UV pollution:

Traditional lamps produce ultraviolet rays, and there are many mosquitoes around the light source, which has a poor sanitary appearance.

5.Lighting control:

The voltage control is not good: the traditional fluorescent lamp is lit by the high voltage released by the rectifier, which cannot be turned on when the voltage decreases.

6: Consumption of energy:

The theoretical life of fluorescent lamps is about 10,000 hours, but the lifetime of LEDs can reach 100,000 hours, which is ten times that of fluorescent lamps! Therefore, LED lamps can be used for a long time without replacement, reducing labor costs. More suitable for occasions that are difficult to replace.

7.High maintenance factor:

Long-term use: The LED lamp body itself uses epoxy instead of traditional glass, which is stronger and more reliable. Even if the LED lamp is dropped on the floor, it will not be easily damaged, so you can use it with confidence.

Reasons for choosing LED lights as statue lighting fixtures

In China, the application of LEDs in landscape lighting has entered a period of rapid development. Its small power, small size, concentrated light, high peak light intensity, flexible control, fast response, rich and vivid colors, and changeable graphics make it a series of advantages. Gradually become the main light source of urban night landscape. Statue lighting has not become the focus of attention in garden landscapes. At the same time, due to the lack of domestic and foreign theories of statue landscape lighting, the corresponding regulations and basic principles are incomplete, resulting in regional light and color chaos, landscape lighting lacks a sense of hierarchy, light pollution and its seriousness. , Damage to the ecological environment and other negative phenomena.

With the continuous improvement of the level of garden landscape lighting design, statue lighting design also plays a vital role. Therefore, in order to improve the artistic characteristics of garden landscape and improve the application of LED, it is of great practical significance to carry out experimental research on it. As the main body of application research in the new generation of light source LED, when lighting the statue, first of all, start with the elements such as the rock, the type, shape, material, and concept of the statue, analyze the characteristics of the LED, and combine the two with technology and art. Night lighting design. And summarized the design principles that LED light source has a guiding significance for the design of mountain and stone statue night lighting. Through a large number of comparative studies, inductive summaries, and case studies, it is concluded that the research theory of LEDs applied to statue lighting, using the artistic features of the interaction of scenery, light, and people, determines the advantages of controlling the environmental brightness and lighting chromaticity from a technical level. It is the best choice for statue lighting source.

1.Compared with traditional incandescent bulbs and neon lamps, LED lamps have lower operating voltage, smaller operating current, better shock resistance and shock resistance, high reliability and long life. The intensity of LED light emission can be accomplished by modulating the current intensity, which is easy to operate. High efficiency and energy saving: LED lighting is DC driven and has very low function. It is also the most energy-saving white light source device currently known. The electro-optical power conversion is close to 100%. It consumes only a few kilowatt hours in 1000 hours, and 1 degree in 17 hours with ordinary 60W incandescent lamps. Compared with electricity, the advantages are very obvious, and the lighting effect of LED is more than 80% energy saving than traditional light sources.

2.Green and environmental protection LED lamp DC drive, no radiation, soft lighting effect, no flicker, can be turned on frequently. Compared with common lamps containing harmful elements such as mercury and lead, LED does not contain harmful elements such as mercury and xenon, which is beneficial to Recycled and used yesterday. LEDs have strong directivity, high color rendering, good dimming performance, and even intelligent dimming performance. When the color temperature changes, there will be no errors in the video. These are not reachable by ordinary incandescent lamps. Therefore, LEDs It is a new green light source [3-4].

3.Long service life: LED lights are called long-life lights, with a service life of 60 to 100,000 hours, which is more than 10 times the service life of ordinary light sources, and can be used for three years of uninterrupted lighting. LED light is a semiconductor chip that emits light without filament or glass bulbs. It has very strong shock resistance, dust resistance, low energy consumption, and is not easy to break. It requires low voltage and current for normal work, low heat, and low light emission. Hidden safety hazards, high safety factor.

4.Compared to traditional incandescent lamps, compared with traditional incandescent lamps, LED lamps are DC-driven and have no flicker, which improves the disadvantage of using traditional incandescent lamps to drive AC.

5.Good market prospects: LED can be powered by DC, battery or solar power, which is very suitable for remote and mountainous areas and outdoor lighting and other low-power and low-power environments. In the future, traditional light sources will be replaced, which also makes the future price trend of LEDs more and more accessible to the people, which will inevitably lead to rapid growth of market capacity.

6.The color of the light source is changeable. The LED light source is based on the three primary color principles of red, green and blue. Under the control of the computer, the three primary color principles can be composed of 256 levels of gray. It can produce 16,777,216 colors. The light color composition is changeable and colorful. It is beautiful, achieving dynamic changing effects and images.
