Horticutral Lighting
Theme parks are magical places where fantasies come to life and excitement awaits at every turn. But what truly brings these enchanting spaces to life as day transitions into night? The answer is lighting.
Lighting plays a pivotal role in crafting the storytelling and immersive experiences for theme park visitors. From the moment guests step into an amusement park, the right lighting sets the tone, evokes emotions, and guides them on a magical journey.
However, theme parks include a diverse range of themed entertainment, including fantasy lands, fairy tale zones, thrilling rides, as well as numerous retail stores and restaurants. Each area of a theme park has its own unique character, requiring customized lighting solutions.
Parking lots
The parking lot is the first impression guests have of your theme park, and safety is paramount in this space. A well-lit parking lot not only makes visitors feel secure but also sets a positive tone for their experience. Strategically placing street lights and floodlights ensures ample illumination across the entire parking area, minimizing shadows and blind spots. Uniform lighting enhances security and helps guests easily locate their vehicles.
To boost energy efficiency, consider implementing smart controls that adjust light levels based on occupancy and time of day. Understanding the importance of energy and cost savings for theme park owners, we provide self-adapting midnight dimming control. This scheme can reduce power usage and lighting by up to 50% during low-traffic periods, significantly lowering energy costs. This intelligent system also allows for remote management and control of the lighting, enabling you to monitor energy consumption, detect anomalies, and adjust luminous flux as needed.
Thrill rides and coaster zones
Lighting for thrill rides and coaster zones is more than just visibility — it's about amplifying the atmosphere of excitement and adrenaline. Dynamic lighting can significantly enhance the thrill factor. By using RGB/RGBW lighting, you can create dramatic effects as rides race along their course. These lights can be programmed to sync with the ride’s movements, enhancing the thrill with bursts of color and light.
While RGBW solutions are typically managed through a DMX control system, some clients find the wiring complex. To simplify control, we offer a Bluetooth wireless RGBW lighting control solution by replacing the DMX controller with a 2. 4GHz LED controller housed in a compact plastic box, you can still achieve flexible and dynamic lighting effects without the hassle.
Safety is also paramount in thrill ride and coaster zones. It's important to avoid blinding lights that could distract operators, and to ensure that critical elements—such as tracks, supports, and platforms—are properly illuminated.
Main streets and central plaza
Lighting for main streets and central plazas is crucial for both safety and ease of navigation within theme parks. These areas are where visitors gather, explore, and create lasting memories. Adequate illumination not only guides guests but also enhances their sense of security.
Lighting for streets, pathways, and central plazas should be both functional and decorative. Vintage and classical-style lighting is popular, as it evokes a nostalgic feel. For greater energy efficiency, it's advisable to replace outdated HPS or HID lights with energy-efficient LEDs. That's why we offer the ST42 LED lighting retrofit kit. This kit allows you to maintain the historic appearance of lantern lighting while benefiting from significant energy savings.
Additionally, we provide aesthetically pleasing and elegant post-top lights and street lights that add beauty and charm to the theme park.
Signage and billboard
Some signage and billboards now incorporate digital and interactive displays to provide real-time information and enhance visitor engagement. Traditional billboards, on the other hand, require consistent lighting to ensure that content is easily readable from a distance without causing glare. LED flood lights are ideal for this purpose, typically installed at the top, bottom, or both, to evenly illuminate the entire billboard. For wide billboards, flood lights with a wide beam angle are perfect for uniform coverage, while medium or narrow beam angles are better suited for tall and narrow billboards.
We had rich experience in billboard lighting projects. Our flood lights are equipped with professional optics that deliver uniform illumination across the billboard, ensuring it is clearly visible without distracting or causing glare for viewers.
Themed lands
Theme parks often feature a variety of themed lands, each designed to transport visitors to different worlds and eras. Effective lighting is crucial in creating an immersive storytelling experience and a cohesive atmosphere that complements each theme.
The journey into different themed lands begins with their facades, where lighting plays a key role in setting the tone. RGB and RGBW lights can be used to evoke specific emotions—soft, diffused lighting can create a magical ambiance, while blue and purple hues add a sense of mystery. Warm yellows and oranges can evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. In the themed lands, projector floodlights can highlight key features like murals and waterfalls, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
We offer RGB/RGBW LED flood lights, wall washers, and landscape lights to bring vibrant colors to themed lands. Controlled via DMX, these lights can produce vivid and dynamic displays tailored to different themes and special events. With multiple optics available, our lighting solutions are designed to highlight key features such as facades, waterfalls, and landscapes, across various parts of the theme park, ensuring each themed land is uniquely illuminated.
Queue lines and waiting areas
Queue lines and waiting areas are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in the overall guest experience. These spaces set the stage for the attractions ahead, building anticipation as visitors eagerly await their turn. The primary focus of lighting in these areas should be safety and navigation. Ensure that all pathways, signage, and exits are clearly illuminated. This not only enhances safety but also helps maintain the flow of the queue, preventing bottlenecks and confusion.
Indoor attractions and rides
For indoor attractions and rides, such as arcade games and fantasy gardens, visibility is key. Bright and comfortable lighting ensures clear visibility for guests, encouraging engagement and exploration. This is especially important in spaces like fantasy gardens designed for children.
Unlike outdoor attractions, indoor venues require lighting even during the day, and traditional lighting often falls short of providing the necessary illumination and efficiency.
To address this need, LED high bay lights are the ideal solution. Our high bay lights and linear lights offer powerful light with high efficacy, resulting in significant energy and cost savings. Additionally, professional optics and diffusers are designed to minimize glare, providing comfortable and welcoming lighting for all.
Retail locations
Theme parks often have numerous retail stores, such as gift shops. Effective lighting is key to enhancing ambiance, highlighting merchandise, and creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages visitors to explore and make purchases.
For retail locations, we offer white high bay lights - HB18 that create a fresh and tidy look. Equipped with advanced LED technology, HB18 helps save on energy costs while maintaining a clean, bright appearance. With a CRI of over 90, our lighting showcases merchandise in its best light, making products appear fresh and attractive, which can ultimately drive sales.
Food courts and restaurants
Lighting in food courts and restaurants within theme parks requires careful design to create inviting atmospheres, enhance dining experiences, and ensure food safety.
In quick-service food courts, bright and energetic lighting keeps the space feeling clean and vibrant. In contrast, themed restaurants rely on lighting to contribute to the overall storytelling, with warm lighting helping guests feel more relaxed and engaged.
Food safety is paramount in high-traffic environments like theme parks. To maintain the highest standards, lighting fixtures in food preparation areas must be non-toxic, easily cleaned, and corrosion-resistant. HACCP and NSF-certified fixtures are ideal for these demanding conditions.
We offer a variety of lighting solutions specifically designed for food processing, including high bay and linear lights, to illuminate your food preparation areas effectively and safely.
