World IBD Day
Every year on May 19th, World IBD Day takes place to raise awareness of the fight against inflammatory bowel disease. To bring this to the attention of the public, facades, sculptures and other objects are lit purple worldwide.
The pharmaceutical research company Galapagos is deeply involved in the fight against these diseases. They contacted us to provide their premises in Leiden with an illuminated facade in the desired color.
Facade Lighting
For security reasons, we had to place the lighting on the premises of the client. After all, no permission had been granted for placement on public land. Fortunately, the location had a facade-wide balcony, which served perfectly for placing the light fixtures.
As the venue would be completely closed off after the working day, it was difficult to use power from the building. All windows and doors would be closed. As the main supplier of wireless Astera lighting, we have just the solution for this type of scenario. With the help of various AX10 and AX5 fixtures, the building was lit purple in no time. The lighting also switched off automatically at midnight, according to the client’s wishes.
Would you also like to illuminate a facade or building? We are happy to talk to you.
