The Helan Horse Culture Museum, China

Recently, the Helan Horse Culture Museum won the IES Merit Award for its brilliant lighting design. Established by IESNA, IES Merit Award is one of the top three lighting design awards in the world. And what powers this award-winning project is HDL`s intelligent lighting control system.

Helan International Equestrian Club is the first comprehensive equestrian base in China. It`s services include equestrian training, equestrian performance, equestrian event and leisure fitness. The Horse Culture Museum of Helan International Equestrian Club, which designed by famous lighting designer Mr. Gao Feng and his team, was mainly to show the ancient relics of Chinese horse culture and the manual carriages from European craftsmen.

There are six lighting areas in the museum. The team designs different lighting effects based on the differences of cultural relics, thus highlighting the sense of culture and history at large. For example, the embedded wall lamps and track spotlights are used to light the caves, small track spotlights at different angles are used to display the artworks in the showcases, and the intensity of light is used to reflect the transition of the display area.  

HDL`s automation control system makes the lighting control of the museum much easier. Apart from controlling multiple lights and switching scenes on one panel, staff members can also use their mobile phone to control the lighting, which greatly improves the management efficiency for the museum.
