Commissioned by the planning consortium pg bbi, consisting of GMP and JSK, Kardorff Ingenieure designed the lighting from the basic evaluation to the conceptual design. The lighting scheme uses extremely long-lived lamps, such as inductive fluorescent lamps to make the lowest maintenance costs possible.

The illumination of Pariser Platz emphasizes the horizontal areas. There is no direct lighting of the building facades. As an historical monument, the Brandenburg Gate is placed at the focus and is illuminated deep into its structure.

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 German Federal Garden Show (BUGA) took place in 2001 at the 65 hectare-large Volkspark in Potsdam. The mast-mounted luminaires are laced through the landscape like a pearl necklace. The different heights of the lighting heads were made possible by the specially designed installation adapter.
 

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.
