Shenzhen Kai Ming electric lighting case (Ningbo Jiangbei Wanda Plaza)

Outdoor pedestrian street shopping, traffic, rest, sightseeing and entertainment as one of the integrated commercial space, is the main place for leisure, travel, shopping. A good night landscape with comfortable and beautiful lighting environment can create a unique business atmosphere, cultural atmosphere and leisure atmosphere, showing the pedestrian street night lighting bright, beautiful, full of personality image.

In this paper, the author uses the theory of the law of human night vision to take the example of the lighting design of the outdoor lighting of Ningbo Wanda outdoor street.

A brief introduction to the project

Ningbo Jiangbei Wanda Plaza is located in the North East Jiangbei Road, Yun Fei Lu, outdoor commercial pedestrian street, a total length of 480 meters, 10.8 meters wide street, two storey outdoor street a total construction area of 29 thousand and 500 square meters, the business line is U layout design. For outdoor pedestrian street landscape lighting design should comply with the surrounding environment and the design of Wanda business night planning ideas.

Not only consider the technical index of lighting brightness, illumination and glare control, considering people as the theory and human factors according to the physiological and psychological characteristics, you can create a vivid and interesting night landscape lighting effect, provide leisure, shopping, sightseeing, viewing the comfortable environment for people.

Two, outdoor pedestrian street before the transformation of the existing problems

1, the Ningbo Jiangbei Wanda is the two generation of the pedestrian street shop, the lack of unified planning and good dispersion in the investment process investment is easy to produce, leading businesses brand positioning is uneven, the formation of the overall image of the phenomenon of uneven;

The ecological environment of the 2 outdoor pedestrian street to indoor pedestrian street is relatively weak, the existence of management area a lot blur, or the management of cross and municipal sanitation department, etc., in the management of execution and maintenance in tends to become dead;

3, outdoor pedestrian street night out of touch with the surrounding environment, the design of lighting businesses themselves due to the restriction of different economic factors and aesthetic taste, LED lighting design and commercial storefront attachment construction or environmental separation;

4, poor lighting, lighting, lighting, lighting and ancillary equipment varieties, the lack of awareness of new products, understanding and application. A considerable number of energy-saving lamps and floodlights are installed in the lamp on the irradiation, the lamp is exposed, the lamp frame does not take into account the shape, the color of the lamp frame is not coordinated with the building, lighting facilities affect the pedestrian street daytime landscape.

Above all, Ningbo Jiangbei Wanda in the transformation of the former, because the operation and management of unified planning, resulting in some color to produce commercial landscape lighting coordination and improper use, night lights can let people feel the unique atmosphere of the environment is different from the day.

Three, outdoor pedestrian street landscape design elements

From the outdoor pedestrian street space composition analysis, mainly by shops, walking space, transitional space and related utilities. The object of the outdoor pedestrian street lighting is the main public facilities shops shop signs, shop windows, building facades, street lighting and landscape lighting on the street (such as card guides, flowerpot, seat and sculpture etc.).

Outdoor pedestrian street nightscape lighting design needs to meet the following five elements:

1, outdoor walking street, the overall lighting effect is bright, high level of walking space lighting;

2, light on the basis of the structure of the building with flexible layout, lighting and forms of diversification;

3, the lighting effect reflects the rich color of commercial space bright, gorgeous eye-catching;

4, the high level of commercial space lighting facilities, lighting effect is distinct, need to use static and dynamic combination;

5, to meet the functional requirements of the premise, lighting facilities have a strong decorative.

According to the above factors, the lighting design of commercial pedestrian should be integrated into the overall planning of the whole street, according to visitors and shoppers visual psychological requirements and related standards, the number of objects into consideration, to highlight, and both bright and dark, reasonable distribution, strong sense of hierarchy, no glare and light pollution, create both warm and lively, in order, and has a good visual guide.

Outdoor Pedestrian Street Pedestrian Space road lighting

The most basic requirement of road lighting is to provide bright and relatively uniform lighting. In order to ensure the quality of commercial street lighting, in particular, should pay attention to the following two aspects:

As far as possible to avoid the formation of strong shadow, the use of low intensity, number of poles and low high street lamp rod, high brightness, will form a strong shadow lamp is more suitable for design, can also be combined with underground light.

Order and organization rules perception can stimulate people's expectations, in the commercial pedestrian street lighting design, lighting system if the structure forms and combinations with other blocks and street lighting facilities in harmony, so as the obvious order in the environment would be satisfactory.

Building lighting

Color light and color of the surface of the building, the principle of harmony, generally said that the warm color of the building surface should be used to warm light, cold color of the building surface should be white light. Rich and bright colors on the building surface should be good color rendering, high color rendering index of Ra light source.

Advertising, shop signs lighting

Advertising and commercial signage lighting is the most active element in the commercial street lighting and the visual center of the whole space. Good shop lighting can generate a strong appeal for customers.

Utility lighting

Pedestrian street is a public facility to meet the needs of customers and tourists in the space of the psychological needs of accurate positioning. Due to the use of lighting facilities and requirements are not the same, so the lighting of these facilities should be considered on the basis of the overall planning of the block one by one.

Four, outdoor pedestrian street night light "the two shaping"

1, the rational use of light and color

Color plays an important role in the commercial pedestrian street. Whether it is the color of the light source, or the color of the buildings, structures, or background color changes, as long as the participation of the night, the effect is different from the day. Moreover, the role of color in the night scene lighting is more prominent than in the daytime, it has a more obvious effect on people's psychology.

(1) in accordance with the overall planning of the night, choose the main color

Ningbo Jiangbei pedestrian street lighting re select a main color, with warm white light with color light embellishment form more easily create visual effect and unique atmosphere, color is instrumental in creating commercial street, active atmosphere, dynamic light striking, can add lively and interesting. See figure 1:

Figure 1: real street interior transformation diagram

(2) control color effects, including psychological and physiological effects

Psychological effect is reflected in the gender, age, occupation, nationality and other basic situation of different people, they have different preferences for color, color sensitivity or emotional. The use of color to show the local cultural characteristics of the region, in the courtyard lighting design, in line with the integration of local culture in Ningbo, the use of multi color packaging, reflecting the cultural inclusion of national characteristics.

(3) control of color transition.

Due to different light, different colors of light effect of different materials on the surface of the object in the same color and different light illuminated objects, two color transition between different color, to effectively control.

2, effectively grasp the lighting effect, reflect the details of the form of lamps

The concealment of lamps and lanterns - in the renovation as far as possible to hide the lighting, will not give pedestrians or adverse effects on the surrounding environment.

Commercial lighting lamp using special lamps and the optical properties in addition to meet certain outside, more important is to have a decorative function, so it must be with the lighting design and landscape design, commercial lighting not only meet the functional needs, but also become the landscape elements to beautify the commercial street. In particular, at the entrance of the two increased module lights, can help create a commercial street environment.

3, outdoor pedestrian street into a fun center

Pedestrian shopping in the upper reaches of the street, the street landscape scene in front of the show, people's psychological changes with the change of time and space. If the light of the commercial street in the night is too bland, the people on the street will feel bored. Therefore, it can be combined with the commercial street space sequence, in the appropriate location with a sculpture to create a fun center. After the transformation, the entrance of the two and the corner of the street adds interesting sculpture, causing interest in street activists, add the charm of commercial street, see Figure two and figure three:

Figure two: South Street entrance after transformation, making plans

Figure three: North Street entrance after transformation, making plans

4, unified planning, professional design

Construction of commercial street night landscape, unified planning is essential. Basic outdoor pedestrian street lighting project in the overall planning, the formation of the style in accordance with its own characteristics, to avoid temporary practice, should take the outdoor pedestrian street lighting engineering and pipe business operation management and maintenance, etc. Considering the implementation of comprehensive, unified operation mode.

Five, conclusion

With the improvement of the image quality of outdoor pedestrian street of Wanda Group, the lighting quality requirements of outdoor pedestrian street nightscape lighting will be higher and higher. How to create a unique outdoor commercial street night landscape is a very important aspect in the construction of Wanda corporate culture, but also the inevitable trend of outdoor pedestrian street landscape lighting. I believe that with the relevant management system gradually improve and improve the rationality of landscape lighting design, Wanda outdoor pedestrian street will create a more comfortable, more beautiful, more characteristics of the night of public activity space for people.
