PARK ASCOT – AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LIGHTING SYSTEM
ewo’s mission to make people feel comfortable in public spaces has taken another step forward, with this recent project at Park Ascot in Australia.
The project by Brisbane City Council, worked with the concept “From carpark to District Park” to turn an area previously used for car park overflow, into something the local community could enjoy with minimal light pollution.
The park is a quiet, attractive space that can be used for a variety of purposes such as walking, picnicking or even small concerts.
ewo’s luminaires were fitted in cooperation with Brisbane City Council, whose project managers chose the system because it offered a streamlined solution allowing effective planning, delivering comfort of park-goers.
ewo’s bestselling F–System XS designed by Jörg Boner is Dark Sky approved, illuminating the walkways without wasting light.
Brisbane City Council:
"The project had the potential to present problematic light overspill into surrounding sensitive ecological zones and adjacent high density residential areas.
However, through precise calculations and strategic design made possible by the ewo F–System luminaires and lenses, we were able to achieve a highly responsive outcome, benefiting the varied and delicate local environment whilst bringing the park to life at nightfall.”
