 | Light Projects has completed a world class lighting scheme for The Stone Forest Tourist Park
in Yunnan, China which features lakes and impressive Karst rock formations.
Designed by lighting consultant Benny Ball, the multimillion-pound scheme is an impressive
feat of skilled lighting design, coupled with state-of-the-art light technology to create a unique
colourful display on the grandest scale. From the front lake which alone has 106,000 watts of
underwater lighting; to fibre optics, 2,000 watt Robotic Frances Marine xenon searchlights and
6,000 watt xenon projectors, to project images onto the mountainside, colours, styles and
fittings were chosen to complement each other and to add to the overall effect.
Due to the altitude, a lot of the fittings were made from solid brass to cope with the extreme
weather conditions. It was also imperative that the park respected the delicate eco-structure
of the area and had a minimal impact on the natural environment.
As a result the lighting design team carefully considered the most effective fittings to use and
those which were both powerful and discreet. Fittings from KIM Lighting, Lumiscape Lighting
from Australia, light nets from Tokistar, fibre optics from Roblon and a large number of Light
Projects’ own products including the M11, M16 and 1,000-watt Mission fittings complete with
colour were all used in this scheme. The lights were controlled by 4 separate Strand dimmer
rooms and one central control room. |
 | The visitor experience is divided into five areas including three lakes, a garden and a theatre. There are two shows of lasers and video projection which were designed by LCI who were also the overall designers on the park. The combination of intelligent lighting including star lights in weatherproof mac domes, laser, sound, pyrotechnics and flame effects; together with choreographed dancing waters all add together to create a very impressive and dramatic park.
