Urban Lighting

Stoke Civic Centre

Spectacular show puts the spotlight on Stoke

< Back
 
Stoke’s Civic Centre, located in the heart of the UK, has become a nightly attraction thanks to a splash of colour under a EUR 700,000 Living Lights project funded by the government. The colorful designs – created by city students of all ages, some as young as five – will change daily and can include stripes, cascades of colour, fades and many other variations.

There are more than 150 luminaires in the scheme including 1m long RGB LED Bands (at balcony and low level) and Contrast Spectra C2 250W colour changing floodlights 'washing’ the façade. The 16 surrounding street lanterns also feature banners lit by custom LED strips.

Schools, colleges and universities that are chosen to take part can access special software via the internet to design their light displays on-line and send them direct to the lights via a combination of web GUI and wireless (W-DMX) transmission.
