Inside the lobby of a retirement home in Bettlach, Switzerland flows a stunning illuminated water feature. Adding lighting to the water fountain proves tricky. For one thing it is hard to pick the right lighting angle because visitors or guests from all directions could lay their eyes on the feature upon entering. For another, the 3-storey high crusading waterfall offers limited options for LED lights as most fountain LEDs are unable to uplight or downlight far or high enough. Analyzing the space, the project engineer decided to go with linear led lights. As a result, two strips of 4-meter long FlexgloTM F15 flexible lights are installed on the pillar inside the waterfall. The well-placed lights excel in creating visual interest and highlighting the movement of the waterfall without overwhelming the area with a strong lighting.
The lights are integrated with IP68-rated injection-molded connectors to achieve waterproof function for maximum safety and zero maintenance. Last but not least, F15 LED linear lights are provided with RGB color options so that the owner of the nursing home could come up with creative ideas for holiday celebrations.
