BELGOROD,
Russia — As part of a Russian program devoted to the modernization of
transportation infrastructure, the newly built Belgorod Airport was constructed
to be one of the most attractive and convenient hubs in Russia’s Central Black
Earth Region. In addition to the airport’s focus on innovative architecture,
high-quality finish materials and optimized infrastructure, Moscow-based STK
Heliocity was brought in to develop a unique combination of architectural and
artistic lighting for multiple scenarios: everyday usage, night time usage, and
holidays/special occasions. In order to implement lighting designs for holidays
and other celebrations at the airport, Heliocity installed 16 of HARMAN’s
Martin Professional Exterior 400 Image Projectors.
Heliocity’s
design features traditional symbols, multiple color transitions—in the style
of the Belgorod region’s coat of arms (azure to green and gold)—and a special
fireworks element. As a tribute to the region’s unique and proud military
history, the fireworks are a complex design element that feature dynamic flashes
and simulated flying sparks from an explosion of color to create the effect of
fireworks on the arches above the airport’s main entrance.
To complete
their design, the team at Heliocity needed to deploy a reliable weatherproof
fixture that could create bright light projections yet be extremely
energy-efficient. The company turned to Martin’s Exterior 400 IP in order to
meet these detailed requirements.
“After
analyzing several fixtures we decided on Martin Professional’s Exterior 400 IP
due to its durability and convenient programming capabilities,” commented Anton
Karpun, Project Designer, STK Heliocity. “To create the fireworks scene we
ordered a special set of gobos for firework imitation. The gobos paired with
the Exterior 400’s extremely robust light allowed us to successfully create a
beautiful scenography of dynamic color that can be easily activated with a
single button.”
Martin
Professional’s Exterior 400 Image Projector is a powerful tool for integrating
textures, patterns, and graphics in outdoor lighting designs and is capable of
producing over 7000 lumens of extremely bright light projections. The fixture
also features advanced LED technology for unparalleled energy-efficiency, a
rugged IP65 housing, and up to six customizable gobos, eight customizable
colors and a range of pre-programmable effects, from continuous image rotation
to focus and dimming.
“We needed
to develop a simple scheme for the user that would only be utilized on holidays
and special occasions such as VIP guests or international delegation arrivals,”
explained Karpun. “Our design would not have been successful without the help
of Martin’s Exterior 400 Image Projector. The custom capabilities and LED
technology of the fixture have made this project a true success!”
