KOREAN BRIDGE LIGHTING SPECTACULAR

“We chose LEDiL for this project as we know their extremely high quality testing and standards would ensure their optics are of the quality needed for such a demanding environment.”

PROJECT

The 1.7 kilometre long Machang bridge links the cities of Masan and Changwon in the southern part of Korea. A vital link across Masan Bay, the bridge and its lighting have to withstand both regional typhoons and the corrosive effects of seawater. In service since the bridge opened in July 2008, the time had come to upgrade the exisiting bridge lighting. TORO System were given the challenging task of designing a solution that would both highlight the bridge structure and withstand the ravages of nature.

SOLUTION

TORO System repalced existing luminaire housings with the BANTAM EXPANSION 400W RGBW. With its ultra-high pressure extruded body and reinforced glass cover the BANTAM EXPANSION offers excellent rigidity, UV and corrosion resistance to seawater. To direct the powerful light required to show the bridge at its best TORO chose LEDiL ANGELA, ANGELINA and EMILY optics.

BENEFITS

In addition to the reduced power and maintenance costs fascilitated by using LEDs, the new lighting highlights the beauty of this cable-stayed bridge attracting residents and tourists from far and wide.
