Candela Co. Ltd score a victory with new lighting for Victory Square in Saint-Petersburg

“We chose LEDiL because of its highest quality, wide product range and great support team”

Pavel Tcvetkov, Deputy Director General

PROJECT

Saint-Petersburg Victory Square is home to the Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad, commemorating the victims and survivors of the Siege of Leningrad. Erected in 1975 this important memorial, full of historical significance, found itself standing in a world of shadows cast by seriously outdated lighting. Using the latest optics and the lighting distribution they offer, Candela Co. Ltd stepped in to design a bright, modern solution to illuminate Victory Square as it deserves.

SOLUTION

The project uses 7 types of LEDiL lenses: Narrow-angle VERONICA-SQ to illuminate the lighting poles; IRIS to highlight the obelisk; FLARE-MINI and LARISA-O to provide floodlit illumination of the Square’s open spaces and granite structures. The central part of the memorial is illuminated using a combination of SHELLY lenses while LISA2-WWW wide-angle lenses are used to illuminate the bottom of the Broken Ring memorial. Finally, SEANNA ultra-narrow-angle lenses were installed in powerful spotlights to create visible rays converging in the sky above the obelisk.

BENEFITS

Thanks to the new modern lighting design Victory Square is properly illuminated once again and glows brighter than ever. The lighting hardware no longer shades the beauty of possibly the most im-portant historical monuments in Saint-Petersburg.
