Hotel de Russie

Luxury and prestige in the heart of the Eternal City

The concept at the base of the Hotel’s outdoor lighting anticipated the use of lighting techniques complementary to one another using some products from the Linea Light Group catalogue. To enhance the architecture of the garden, recessed IP67 Paseo_L linear modules with asymmetric optics were chosen. The product highlights the various terraced levels, emphasising the balustrades through the backlighting technique, which also provides functional lighting for the path in certain areas.

Highlighting the path with water, on the other hand, are the IP68 Vigilant projectors with 4000K white and RGB LEDs and 15°, 60° and 120° optics. The product was chosen because it is ideal for enhancing the central axis in a scenic way and because of the chromatic regulation and luminous flow.

To enhance the greenery, moderate uplifting of the most significant foliage was created, avoiding any overlapping with the other systems dedicated to lighting the vertical planes. The product installed is the Suelo_RJ uplight with a protection grade of IP67 and 15° tilting optics. Last, but not least, to light the walkways and stairs, various types of products were implemented: bollards and recess-mounted wall and ground path-markers, all with a minimum IP65 grade of protection. The choice of lighting fixtures was made based on the insertion restrictions, both in terms of minimising the impact on the garden and its architecture, and in terms of the various utility needs connected with the distribution and placement of the power grid.

All the products are managed with DMX control that allows on/off adjustment of the fixtures with relation to the scenes, as well as modulation of both the luminous flow emitted and the colour of the light. The model selected was the Stick-DE3, which allows up to 10 simultaneous scenes to be activated, with a selector of up to 50 static or dynamic scenes, and a dimmer to adjust the lighting intensity and saturation.
