Much of China is taking SSL lessons from New York’s Times Square or Las Vegas in lighting the exteriors of metropolitan buildings, but Signify has supplied more sedate tunable-white LED lighting for historic buildings in the Shanghai Bund.

Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) has announced another set of exterior LED lighting project in the burgeoning city of Shanghai, China. Working with a number of high-profile lighting designers and architects, Signify has provided tunable-white solid-state lighting (SSL) products from its Interact, Color Kinetics (formerly Philips Color Kinetics), and Philips brands. The more sedate lighting, relative to an earlier Shanghai SSL project, has been applied in the Bund or Waitan district near the waterfront in central Shanghai — home to many buildings with historical significance.

Late last year, we reported on a larger Shanghai SSL project that stretched nearly a mile along the waterfront, encompassing more than 70 buildings and three major bridges. That project generally utilized dynamic color-changing LED lighting and Interact control systems. Indeed, China has been quick to deploy over-the-top dynamic SSL including the project at the China World Trade Center Tower in Beijing where the building is now a large video screen.
