The developed system for the lighting fixture "ModulLum" offers a variable lighting tool for the illumination of facades, urban squares and streets. The serial product “ModulLum” is the result of the light master plan for the historic district of
Berlin Mitte.

The light master plan covers the historic Berlin Mitte. The master plan was drawn up in such detail that the city and future planners will have direct information on the implementation. Now nearly ten years later, the master plan has been almost completely realized.

Graben in Vienna is the city's most prominent street. At its head is the building in which Louis Vuitton opened its store in 2023. In close coordination with the Federal Monument Conservator of the Republic of Austria, we succeeded in obtaining approval for the first façade lighting on the Graben. This makes the building a set gem in the façade sequence and additionally strengthens it with its unique façade color within the Graben façades. We developed mounting elements as extruded aluminum profiles that fix the LED lights, the cable routing and the pigeon protection. LMVH entrusted us with the complete development of the façade lighting in all service phases, including project supervision.

The lighting design firm Lichtvision was commissioned to develop a concept to illuminate the facades of the Humboldt Forum. The result was an intentional lighting of the facades in terms of intensities of illumination and their distribution.
The lighting design bathes the building in a uniform light. It accentuates the mighty presence of the Royal Palace in the heart of Berlin. The flat evenness of the light without much shadowing places priority on the building's three-dimensionality over its details so that it appears imposing and grand, especially from a distance. The height of the light points is necessary to avoid casting hard shadows and to create a uniform lighting.
The designers' lighting specifications were based on standard luminaires. Their design then needed to be integrated into the light columns that also illuminated the exterior areas. KARDORFF was commissioned with achieving these two tasks by using one type of light column.
First, the positions for the light columns were chosen by Kardorff Ingenieure to ensure that the entrances and views of the palace remained unobstructed. The desired light distribution at the defined positions had to be recalculated for the luminaires that can be used in Selux's LIF light column. The LIF light column was custom designed by Kardorff Ingenieure and has highly complex facade modules which can precisely aim individual LED using many separately adjustable deflective mirrors.
This made it possible to achieve the same lighting effect even with another product and at other positions than Lichtvision had originally designed.
As a result, the illumination of the square and the facade have been integrated into one luminaire.
