City Lighting, Kassel (DEU)
ewo creates customized ring-shaped luminaires for the city of Kassel, giving it a characteristic lighting image.
Technical precision and creativity for urban lighting
The cultural and historic legacy of Kassel inspired ewo to produce something special. ewo’s customized luminaire design was unlike any the company had produced before, satisfying numerous aesthetic and operational specifications, delivering a theatricality befitting the town’s stature as a cultural landmark.
Street lighting shines down from a ring’s flat underside to illuminate the most important areas for pedestrians and road traffic. The walls of the 200 mm-deep exterior, produce a 360-degree "effect lighting show" projected to the surrounding buildings when needed, showering the street scene with a variety of RGB-configured colors for important events.
Each luminaire head accommodates 32 lenses of the LS13 series with further asymmetrical light distribution and a light temperature of 3000 K. The LS13 series is available in two versions. The dimensions and mounting are also impressive: each model has a diameter of 1 m and a height of 20 cm and is supported by 4 fixing points and 9 overvoltages at a heigh t of 10.5 m.
