Helsinki Light Season 2009 Illuminated with Robe CitySource 96s

Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

January 28, 2010... Over 100 of the new Robe CitySource 96 LED wash fixtures illuminated two high profile light works - at Parliament House and the Council of State and University buildings in Senate Square adjacent to the Cathedral during Helsinki's 2009 Light Season. The exterior light art for both sites was designed by Finnish lighting designer Mikki Kunttu and his company Moving Light. The second year of the event followed on from Kunttu's very successful lighting of Senate Square during the previous year.

Kunttu chose the prestigious and visible site in the city for the lighting event. The newly launched Robe CitySource 96 units were specified following site tests. After the tests Kunttu was convinced that Robe CitySource 96 units were the must-use lights. The fixtures were delivered to lighting rental company Moving Light via Robe's Finnish distributor Live Nation Finland two weeks before the installations went live.

With the luminaires at his disposal Kunttu was able to produce a spectacular color changing canvass on Parliament House. The luminaires allowed Kunttu to create a completely different look and feel for Senate square than he had been able to do using different fixtures last year. Robe Lighting News Release
