Pula’s Lighting Giants were lit for the first time during Visualia, the festival of lights in collaboration with the Tourist Board of Pula. The night walk reached its luminous finale in front of thousands of visitors at the Pula seafront, with cranes being lit dynamically to the music score.
to the time of my youth spent practicing in the rowing club situated opposite Uljanik. Every day I looked at the cranes that dominate the skyline of Pula bay. I think the project manages to emphasize this distinctive symbol of the city and celebrate its industrial heritage.”
-Dean Skira, lighting designer, Lumenart Ltd
The new large-scale light feature adds the vertical axis to the luminous sea horizon, creating a dynamic sculpture in the night landscape. This blend of technology and history is sensitive to the city’s past as the shipyard harbor, celebrating the generations of workmen that constituted the heart of Pula.
Uljanik and Skira technicians illuminated the cranes with 73 Philips ColorReach Powercore gen2 LED floodlights, Each light consists of 64 pieces of LED chips that can be programmed to 16 thousand different variations of color and intensity.
The lighting design can thus be adjusted for various occasions and celebrations. Blinds were used to prevent unnecessary dispersion and light pollution and to create additional diffusion effects.
