Landmarks are the first vision, first impression, and first memory of a place. They have the characteristics of spatial shock, cultural symbolism, and psychological attraction. The lighting of landmarks at night determines the taste and image of a city, and is also an important symbol of a city’s openness and civilization.

   When night falls and the lights are on, the lights on the landmarks are no longer limited to lighting functions, they are given more cultural connotations, quietly telling the city's flowing history, and also illuminating the road to future development.

—Lighting Upgrading of The Shang Dynasty—

    Zhengzhou is the business capital because Shangtang established the first capital of the Shang Dynasty 3600 years ago, Bodu. It is large and magnificent, especially the inner city wall with a circumference of about seven kilometers. It has been continuously repaired for 3600 years. In use, it still stands in the old town of Zhengzhou.

   Three bronze ware pits were found on the outside of the city wall. Exquisitely crafted and robust bronze ritual objects were unearthed, especially the Duling Fangding as a national treasure, which was collected by the National Museum, which further confirms Zhengzhou's important historical status as the eight ancient capitals.

     Zhengzhou in late summer and early autumn was located in the Shang Dynasty Capital City Wall Ruins Park at the intersection of Nanshun Cheng Street and Chengnan Road in Guancheng District. The ancient Shang Dynasty capital city wall stood quietly in it.

   As an important part of the core section of the "Shang Dynasty Wangcheng Ruins", the old shopping mall wall that has been baptized by wind and rain for 3,600 years stands resolutely against the background of the wide green space, blending with the hustle and bustle of the bustling city in the distance, showing the vicissitudes of time.

—Guidance and Transmission —

     Architecture and landscape lighting are an important part of a city's cultural image, especially for a city with a strong historical and cultural heritage like Zhengzhou. Through the artistic lighting design of lighting, the silent city wall seems to have emotion and vitality.

      The brilliance in the deep night allows the visitors to see a glimmer of secrets, as if wandering in the gilded history of thousands of years, feeling the simplicity of it and the thousands of time changes in this ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties.

     Ou Ruijie is honored to have the opportunity to participate in the landscape lighting plan of the ancient city wall of the Shang Dynasty Wangcheng...

     The perimeter of the site of the Shang Dynasty Wangcheng wall is about 7 kilometers. In order to highlight the city heritage of Zhengzhou and improve the city’s taste, the city wall’s body protection and the environmental improvement of the 20-meter protection range on both sides are the focus, and the city wall’s night scene lighting is improved to create a sparse atmosphere , Pleasing landscape environment.

      As a historical and cultural heritage, its night scene lighting is different from the lighting design of modern buildings, and the scale of protection and lighting needs to be grasped.

     Based on the prominent geographical location of the city wall and the national key protection of ancient buildings, its night scene lighting is based on the design requirements of high-grade artistic enjoyment. We adopt the Genie 1 series of semi-ground lamps and floodlights, 55W-72W and 40WDMX512 controls more than 1,100 sets of lamps.

      The genie series of floodlights use OSRAM's new generation of high-efficiency light source, 3000K+4000K color temperature, all lamps and lanterns display value above 80, luminous efficiency above 80lm/w, color tolerance less than 3, color temperature deviation value within 100K. Through the color tone, lamp selection, illuminance control, lamp distance installation, etc., effective control, maximize the light expression, so that the light and the city wall itself achieve a perfect integration.

       Orijie floor-standing floodlights are installed under the walls of the city wall to illuminate the city wall body, and use the light to naturally project the light color effect gradually decreasing from bottom to top, creating the majestic and majestic momentum of the city wall.

       The city wall night view lighting project realized intelligent management. The application of modern intelligent control system not only frees the staff from the tedious manual switch circuit, but also changes the monotonous lighting effect of the simple time control switch.

       Through the intelligent control system, the lighting fixtures are divided into several groups according to the irradiation range and target. Through the programmable controller, according to the reasonable combination of positions and time periods, and according to the needs of different dates and different time periods, the number of lights to be turned on is determined. The lighting project is opened and closed synchronously, which enriches the lighting effect and avoids unnecessary energy waste, achieving a win-win of energy saving and effects.

Lamp selection and installation

      The Genie I shining tree lamp has multiple advantages such as solid design, high-quality, anti-corrosion special surface coating, high IP level, guaranteeing the long service life of the lamp, etc., with improved light efficiency, improved CRI, anti-glare, and multiple application installation scenarios Wait.

     Part of the city wall uses warm white light to express the vicissitudes of the ancient city wall. At the bottom of the city wall, a genie semi-buried light 3000K color temperature 40° beam angle is used to highlight the unique charm of the ancient city wall.

     In the selection of lamps, the smart floodlight has superior waterproof performance, with a waterproof level of IP≥67. In this once-in-a-century flood in Henan, it has withstood severe tests and is sufficient to cope with the changing outdoor environment and climate and ensure the overall project’s performance. Integrity and durability.

Looking forward to the future
