Lumenpulse Lighting Tells a Magical Story at Swedish Ski Resort

MONTREAL--(Marketwire -06/15/12)- Swedish lighting designers Ljusarkitektur have worked with Lumenpulse to turn one of the world's top ski resorts into a magical experience after dark.

Situated close to the Arctic Circle in Sweden, the re ski resort was named one of the "world's top ski resorts" by the British travel magazine Cond Nast Traveller.

The new attraction uses light to create a night-time family experience, increasing the resorts revenue by extending its hours of operation after dark. The scheme is part of a major investment by resort owner SkiStar, which expects to make a return on its investment in two to three years.

Leading Scandinavian design practice Ljusarkitektur created the attraction using the local tales of giants and trolls as their source of inspiration for the lighting.

Ljusarkitektur creative director Kai Piippo had this to say about the project: "This is both a landscape and an experience project. We have been able to use the best available technology both to continue and to reinvent the tradition of storytelling from the area that dates back hundreds of years."

The installation uses 240 color-changing Lumenpulse luminaires to cast an eerie moonlight glow over the slopes to create an attraction that has boosted the resort's night-time economy. A range of Lumenbeam projectors, including the Red Dot Product Design Award winning Lumenbeam LBX, were chosen for the project.

Ljusarkitektur chose Lumenpulse fixtures for their high performance, ease of maintenance and ability to withstand tough weather conditions and sub-zero temperatures.
