In this project of general lighting for public spaces using the LED floodlight mounted on the higher ceiling to uniformly illuminate the general circulation area. Odessa range of Ligman floodlight was installed to this project with a strict specifications coming from the lighting consultant to attain the requirements.
The concept is to achieve a spacious surrounding of Metro station by incorporating the indirect lighting mounted on the wall and directly uplight to enhance further brighter ceiling. Relying only on floodlight mounted on the slot of the ceiling and pointed downward will create a big contrast between ceiling and floor so the idea of indirect light was come-up to create well balance of lighting in overall surroundings.
