New Anolis lighting scheme for Porte de Bourgogne

The city of Bordeaux has a new Anolis lighting scheme for its La Porte de Bourgogne landmark. The city council’s lighting designer Sylvie Bordes was talking to urban planning specialist Citeos, a subsidiary of multinational Vinci Energies that partners with local authorities and communities to develop their environments.

Anolis - via Robe France’s architectural lighting specialists Bruno Francois (who had been involved with the previous lighting installation on the arch - using another brand - ten years ago) and Eric Tabuteau - was already in the frame thanks to their local partner company Objectif Lumière, who convinced the city council and Citeos to undertake some tests.

To illuminate the lower parts of the arch, washes were needed that could fit into the existing dug-outs that had housed the previous luminaires. Anolis ArcSource Outdoor 48MC Integral fixtures were chosen for that matter.

Bruno Francois then suggested Anolis’s Eminere range to deal with the upper and top parts of the arch and to fill in some of the gaps. They also needed to reuse the existing wiring and chemically fixed bracketry, so four Eminere 1s and six Eminere 4 RGBCWs with 10 x 60° lenses were selected for the top sections, and another four Eminere 1s plus seven Eminere 4 RGBCWs with 15° lenses to highlight the central parts of the structure. The new lights are running via a Nicolaudie controller.
