In order to seamlessly integrate Changsha's outdoor advertising lighting with the existing billboards, achieving a harmonious blend of light and art, we typically follow several steps in the lighting design of the billboard surface:
1. Research Phase
This phase primarily determines the design scale based on the requirements of advertising clients and the functional needs of the advertising location investors. It involves understanding the characteristics, functions, styles, social historical background, and material of the card composition elements, especially the designer's creativity and design intent, to ensure the lighting style aligns with the environment. Additionally, designers must also consider on-site conditions such as local preferences for colors, customs and habits, and electricity supply.
2. Analysis Phase
Based on the design concepts derived from the research phase, we identify the key elements to highlight in the lighting project, emphasizing the individuality of the lighting; determine primary and secondary observation points; and establish the overall guiding principle, including the brightness distribution and color tone of the entire surface.
3. Design Concept Phase: After completing the research and analysis based on the understanding of the situation, we move into the design concept phase. During this stage, the engineers will consider the following: - Illumination Levels: Our designers will design based on the materials of the illuminated surface, background brightness, and the characteristics of the light source, referring to the recommended illumination levels by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE); - Lighting Methods: The designers will determine the lighting method based on the structure and intended meaning of the sign; - Light Source and Luminaires Selection: We prioritize choosing luminaires from reputable manufacturers in Europe and America; - Number of Lighting Equipment: Engineers will determine the quantity of lighting equipment and materials based on the relevant design drawings and illumination requirements; - Preventing Light Pollution: During the design and installation of lighting, we strictly adhere to relevant standards.
4. Design Phase
Designers will implement research and analysis on the corresponding billboard surfaces, creating corresponding visual effects and design proposals for review by advertising clients and relevant experts.
5. Construction Drawing Preparation
Electrical design engineers proceed to the subsequent step in the design process, drafting construction drawings based on the design plan.
6. Construction Phase
Once all design programs are completed, the engineering department organizes the installation team to proceed with construction according to the construction drawings. During the construction process, the installation team strictly adheres to relevant specifications, standards, and design documents, promptly formulating practical and feasible construction steps, methods, and quality control measures. At the same time, they rigorously follow regulations and the client's specific requirements to ensure thorough inspection and acceptance of the project.
