The lighting that we implemented for Emily Resort made an exciting object - a forest doubled in the mirror of the lake, which is observed by hotel residents throughout the evening and night from all rooms, from the restaurant and terrace, as well as from along the embankment from the hotel and events hall With light, we emphasized a living corner of nature that you want to contemplate even more.
This forest is perceived both on a macro scale from the opposite shore of the lake and locally, walking along the embankment when you see all its details. And that's why we made it, taking into account these nuances. For this, we had to create 3 independent rows of lamps that smoothly go deeper into the forest.
We wanted to show:
- its volume and depth,
- stretch it to length,
- so that silhouettes of trees alternate with illuminated trees.
So we made rows of more than 200 lights with different optics, angles, and steps to get this volume. This is an exciting work of art: we directed some lights only to the crowns, some we tilted forward to make counterpoint accents, and some were stretched into the distance to smoothly integrate it and dissolve the boundaries of the forest with the entire slope.
Creating these moments is fundamentally a huge work on the spot. To do this, we charged the lamps with temporary tails and placed them with pegs at night on a rather steep slope, which was not easy, and just to switch them, we had to cut more than 3 km of cable. And then, it was necessary to install the lamps, try how they look at night, work on mistakes with the appropriate adjustments, and continue the next evening again. To implement it only temporarily, this installation took a couple of weeks, and only then, after dismantling the lamps, according to the scheme marked with pegs, we started the implementation of the active project.
We decided to extend the existence of the illumination of this forest for the whole year, even when the leaves fall and the trees turn gray. For every day in the summer, we selected lamps with a natural balm channel, but with the possibility of adding shades of color thanks to the RGBW model, and its brightness changes three times a day so as not to interfere with natural biorhythms.
In autumn, we emphasize the mood and prolong the feeling of golden autumn by adding shades of orange and red. And in winter, when the trees are entirely gray and uninteresting, they are illuminated with a specially selected snow-ice turquoise-blue color. Even when there is no snow, these bare trees look more festive.
Suppose your vacation in the complex falls on a holiday. In that case, the forest will magically be dressed in the appropriate colors for this event, for example, in the national flag colors or in pink shades for Valentine's Day. And to monitor all the holidays and the change of seasons, a complex algorithm with many triggers (daily, weekly, annual) has been created thanks to our powerful Expolight Cloud Control System software.
