Ci En Temple

Lighting Goals

The goal was to illuminate the space in a way that evokes a sense of calm amidst the grandiosity of the prayer hall. Thai Hong, the project manager for the project mentioned, “We wanted to create a sense of peace and tranquillity, highlighting the temple’s key religious features to pay homage to the religion’s tenets.”

The use of Unios lighting combined with Casambi technology, aids in setting scenes for different occasions, invoking a quiet serene ambiance for prayer sessions with the use of soft, warm lighting and employing brighter and more vibrant lighting for group events to foster engagement. Casambi provides a quick and efficient way to set the tone at the touch of a button ensuring that the illumination aligns perfectly with the intended atmosphere. This dynamic approach creates an inviting environment that caters to the diverse activities within the temple, allowing worshippers and visitors to connect deeply with the space.

Architectural Highlights

A highlight of the space was the accentuation of the religious facade on the wall. Lux Affair illuminated the deities in a way that radiates an aura of reverence, achieved by positioning spotlights to focus on the top of the deity statues. This strategic lighting creates a captivating glow around each deity, enhancing their presence and drawing the eyes of worshippers. Through meticulously chosen hues and angles, the illumination not only highlights the intricate artistic details of the facade but also instills a sense of sanctity in the environment, inviting contemplation and respect from all who enter the space. By combining thoughtful lighting techniques with architectural elements, Lux Affair successfully enhanced the spiritual significance of the temple, fostering an atmosphere that encourages reflection and connection.
