Philips LED Luminaires Help Showcase Mayan Archeological Site
July 10, 2008... In a truly unique combination of ancient architecture and modern, state-of-the art technology, Philips has provided LED-based lighting solutions for the archeological site of Edzna, in the Mexican state of Campeche. The lighting allows colorful light shows that bring a new form of art to the monumental architecture at the site. Another added benefit to using Philips LED fixtures is that they do not radiate heat or UV rays; which could damage the temple's exterior over time.
The most remarkable building at the site is reportedly the main temple called Pirámide de los Cinco Pisos or the Pyramid of the Five Floors.
The temple is built on a platform 131 feet high ( 40 m ). It offers views for visitors of the surrounding countryside. According to Philips, another amazing view occurs on Friday and Saturday evenings, when a multimedia spectacle called the "Light of the Itzáes" occurs. Philips says that the event enhances the beauty of the imposing archeological site and brings new life to the ceremonial center that flourished between the years 600 and 900 A .D.
